Dreamworks Studios will advertise a film called Monsters Vs. Aliens.Don’t let the title fool you; it doesn’t involve the type of aliens that love to latch onto people’s faces and spew acid everywhere.This ‘Aliens’ is a CGI animated film in which the US Army drafts a group of 1950s B movie type monsters to combat an alien invasion of earth.The movie, which has a trailer available on YouTube, looks like a cross between Chicken Little and Monsters Inc.
Noticeable absent from the listing of films planning to advertise during Super Bowl XLIII is Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Warner Bros.’ Watchmen.However, Warner Bros. has been actively promoting the Watchmen movie during the NFL playoffs, so it wouldn’t be surprising if a trailer does show up during the Big Game.
According to Variety, 85% of spots for the Super Bowl XLIII were bought in September.There is still a chance Fox may choose to advertise for Wolverine or one of their other movies at the last minute.More recent reports estimate that only 10% of the ad time for the event remain, so if Fox is going to jump on board, they’d better get busy, bub!
