ScottEdmondson41 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another one just posted and this tweet actually says sleep well, which probably means no to a midnight reveal, but I feel like basically is saying for sure that the reveal is happening tomorrow morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone assumed that the lawsuit would be considered frivolous and be easily dismissed. They assumed it would go away. It hasn't. When dealing with intellectual properties, rights' issues are always a possibility. what was the problem with Conjuring? why did they have trouble?

WESKER69 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well that one pic is clearly a map of the hedge maze from The Shining, so these pics are definitely NOT teases for only the original houses. Which means, what I suspected, the 3rd image is the cabin from AVED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Hive. My guess is that somewhere in the Hive, they've taken the liberty to set up something much like Alien, where they're birthing Vampires out of these pods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog67 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This is gong to ruffle some feathers, but whatever. The USA Today is a rag newspaper. Total garbage. But it has circulation far beyond the Universal Twitter account or website (lol !). If there was any question this is event is targeted at the masses as opposed to hardcore fans see above. They are ok with the USA Today scooping their own marketing. I actually feel sorry for them. I know a lot of you worship at the altar of Aiello, but he is corporate now. Heavy on the mass media and $$$, while light on creativity. So so brace yourself for more IPs, less creativity, more selfie stages, less horror, more 3D sh$t houses and whatever the flavour of the day is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no opinions on USA Today since I use them primarily for entertainment news. As for you thoughts regarding Aiello, why does him giving an interview (part of his job as Creative Director) mean he is corporate now? He has no control over who he interviews with. He has no control of when that interview is released. And he has no control over Marketing. There's never been a question as to whether it is targeted to the masses or not. Universal is a business. The diehard fans of an event are not the target, but again, that has nothing to do with Aiello or any members of A&D. They are a separate department from Marketing. They make creative decisions, not marketing decisions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's not quite true since there's already no 3d houses this year. While HHN might be a bit more of a corporate event than before, I don't think that means it's as stifling to the creativity as you think. I don't see any reason to believe there's less horror, and less creativity than the most recent years. Heck, I think this year's original houses are some of the more creative ones we've heard about in recent times (except the vampire one but that still leaves 3). I'd say it's too soon to say that they lost a lot of their creative edge when we haven't seen the event itself yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks, but he unfortunately HAS to be in order to keep his job. I talked to him at the Entertainment Designer Forum and it's clear he's got his hands tied when it comes to control over the amount of IP's, the website and marketing in general.

Dog67 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Lol Creative "DIRECTOR" = executive position = corporate. Come on. Has no control over interviews .... laughable. Seriously. To suggest creative and marketing are two unrelated entities is patently absurd. Yeah I know it's fun to pit one against the other but it's inaccurate. They may do a terrible job of working together, but they work together. Aiello does a European tour that revolves partially around marketing.

They had to design a concept to fit within a already built frame in a month (maybe two). That's extraordinarily creative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His position is not as high and powerful as you seem to believe it to be. Have you ever worked in a large corporation? You are told when, how, and who you can speak to in the media. Everyone, from the CEO to the janitor, must have interviews approved and vetted. No one gets to decide who they will or will not give interviews to. There is no executive position with ultimate desicion making abilities. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
