The image, which has since been removed, doesn’t give away too much. However. Warner Bros. is clearly alarmed by the leak. The movie studio has a history of cracking down on the unauthorized distribution of leaked material and this is no exception.

I didn't know about the leak until now. Now I'm going to track it down when I otherwise wouldn't have. Thanks Warner Brothers.

The guerilla marketing is working then!

Why do I need a video of a photo?

[–] Gamera8ID@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago

Because I couldn't find the photos. But feel free to share a link to them if you have one to contribute to the conversation instead of being critical of it.

Seems a single image would be good for gaining attention. Turning it into a "leak" makes a story.

I'm not sure what to believe anymore , lol.

Not to argue about what's right or wrong, but companies spend a lot of (marketing) money on building hype for upcoming projects, and that stuff is planned out way ahead of time. Leaks fuck up their plans for what and when to release this stuff, and can mess up their timing.

They want the hype to be at its peak around release. Leaks can build hype at the wrong moment, and it can die down before the film releases.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's better now that it's not in the public eye or as popular. Still no porn tho :/

[–] hal_5700X@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So all the crazy people (otherkin, headmates, and so on) moved to Twitter?

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I mean, crazy people are everywhere. The more users, the more crazy people. Less users, less crazy.
