500 000 retweets ? !?

Apparently the trailer was released but the producers asked fans to retweet the trailer to gauge fan response. Not only is this publicity on the cheap but there hasn't been nearly the required amount of retweets to serve it's purpose...probably will fall before it takes off. It's clearly trying to replicate the Twilight phenomena but it won't even touch it much like other YA books turned movies like The Hunger Games which lost interest and box office takings by the last 2 movies whereas Twilight went from strength to strength commercially ending on a huge high...don't think this is in the same league at all.

If you check it out right now, you'll see that the tweet got deleted.
They expected the movie to promote itself but it proved to be a longshot.

I think they were just trying to get attention through retweets but didn't really mean it. The author released a statement on her website saying that the trailer was released early by mistake from a Filipino company and that the trailer is supposed to debut around the world next month, as well as an additional US trailer and a release date.

Also I've seen numerous people say that they got the opportunity to view special early fan screenings of the movie last year and were pleasantly surprised. Who knows, though. But I am hopeful for this one.

And now the trailer has been removed as well.

Any one have a mirror link?
