Finally, some positive news from the BEYOND team.

It's been awfully quiet on the movie front, and it's given the nay-sayers a lot of cannon-fodder for writing this film off. Paramount hasn't done much to counter the detractors, mind you, but this sounds like a positive step in the right direction. Apparently, Simon Pegg has seen the new trailer, and is quite excited about it (he wasn't very pleased with the last one, mind you).

A May release could side-step the Captain America blitz coming soon, and an event dedicated to the movie alone could attempt to capitalize on the 50th anniversary... not terrible ideas, but I wouldn't have waited. (Of course, the truncated production schedule for the film could be impacting the trailer/marketing schedule, too... who knows.)

Fan event, and the new trailer, confirmed for May 20th.

This is later than I would have preferred, but I'm hopeful!

Why would anybody pay to see a trailer?
I'm sure this "Event" isn't going to be Free.
