You see a preview of what seems to be a big movie coming out. It gives you the date and you're all hyped up. But when the big day finally comes, it's not there. This trope is about delays between the release of a teaser trailer or poster and the release of the movie itself, or even if it never gets released at all. The film could be in Development Hell or is facing delays. The release dates may change in such cases and on some rare cases, they may never get released at all. Not to be confused with Release Date Change, where the change in release is minor and is done to avoid competition with other films.

The 13th Warrior had its first trailer released in January 1998, with the working title Eaters of the Dead (also the title of the book it was based on). The film came out in August 1999 with its revised title. | |

Endemic in Half-Life 2's Troubled Production. Between leaks that necessitated major changes, tweaks from playtesting results, and the game just plain not being ready, Valve was forced to announce new release dates several times — including, infamously, once delaying the game on its release day. This led to the "Valve Time" meme. Not coincidentally, Valve no longer makes a habit of giving release dates until just before release. | |

Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero had a teaser on the VHS release of Space Jam and a trailer on each video released in the 2nd wave of the Adventures of Batman & Robin videocassettes, stating that it was being released in the summer of 1997. It would be released in the Spring of 1998. This was because of the negative feedback of Batman & Robin, since they both featured Mr. Freeze and the studio was afraid the connection would hurt sales of the animated film. | |

A teaser for Jetsons: The Movie (which appeared on the VHS release Jetsons: The First Episodes) promised a release for Christmas 1989, but it ended up being released in the summer of 1990, most likely so it wouldn't compete with The Little Mermaid. | |

Alien³ had an teaser trailer released in early 1991, which promised a vague 1992 release date and the image of a facehugger egg opening over Earth itself. Although the film was released in May 1992, it was held up by production woes that lasted through the winter of 1991, and the hinted plot in the trailer (xenomorphs take over Earth) was completely different to the final product. | |

Charlie Bartlett was set to open on August 3rd, 2007 and had trailers, posters and TV spots but MGM delayed it due to financial issues and a crowded release schedule. Amazingly enough, the studio never had the TV spots pulled and TV stations were still running the ads with the old date the week of the canceled release date. MGM finally released the film on February 22nd, 2008. | |

The Xenoblade Chronicles sequel for Wii U was announced in early 2013 under the working project name of X, and was slated for a 2014 release. When E3 rolled around the following year, the game finally got a name (Xenoblade Chronicles, just like its predecessor) but was still far from completion, so it has been pushed back until 2015. | |

A live-action Spider-Man movie was to be released in Christmas 1986 by Cannon and a short teaser and poster were released, but it sadly never came to be. The reasons why are long, complicated and infamous, with the eventual result being Sony/Columbia Pictures taking over the license and releasing their own franchise based around the property. | |

Subverted in the case of the Ben Stiller movie The Watch, about a neighborhood watch group that encounters aliens. The film was originally titled Neighborhood Watch and had the misfortune of starting its marketing campaign around the time of the Trayvon Martin shooting, in which 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot dead member of the neighborhood watch. The title and marketing strategies of the movie was changed, however, 20th Century Fox refused to change the premiere date. | |
