Everyone and their doggy who is in to sci-fi films has and should watch/ed Aliens, which doesn't make sense why they would advertise Titanic and not Aliens since this movie is a sci-fi flick. Looks to me like a decision based off how much money Titanic made.
It will not be a problem, all that know who he is should know about his science fiction work, and those who liked Titanic will be drawn to it, and a % of those probably would not have bothered if there was no Titanic link. Compared to the other way around.
Works out wonders. $$$$$$

Yeah, those who know and like Cameron are well aware of his resume and track record. A James Cameron movie doesn't need to advertise, Aliens, The Abyss and Terminator in order to attract Sci/Fi fans. Science fiction fans will only need to hear James Camerons involvement in order to be attracted. Besides, i really don't think Titanic was being used to attract a specific crowd. It's only being used because it was so incredibly successful. I think the casual movie fan would be more inclined to take a chance on a movie that was directed by the guy who is responsible for the most successful movie of all time rather than, Terminator. I also think some people here would be surprised at how many people have never even heard of Aliens or The Abyss. Other than older people and hardcore sci/fi fans, Aliens is most well known for AvP

**** me, I am excited about this, but that's the first nail in the coffin, can't stand Michael Rodriguez and her stupid chin-down-eyes-up-lips-pursed-out-because-I-think-it-looks-oh-so-tough idiot looks she always does.

I just saw the teaser too, and i guess i feel like the folks did at comic con, not that impressed. Im still trying to figure out why I should be though....I mean i know it was a shit movie, but didnt Final Fantasy The Spirits Within , try to promote the same kinda thing? I feel like ive seen this already, my minds not blown away or anything.
Update : Yeah, after 2 more trailer views, this cluster f**k of movies comes to mind: FF spirits within, 1000 BC, The Abyss, and the Warriors of Virtue LOL!
