    What Blockbusters Can We Expect to See Super Bowl TV Spots For?

    Before anyone asks, the answer is "No." I haven’t suddenly turned into a Saints fan over night. From those more inclined to know about football, it would take a lot for them not to make this year’s Superbowl. But "the big game" has always been about one thing – the commercials.

    So in between weird ads that will most likely whore erectile dysfunction products (What happened to Enzyte spokesman "Bob?" Was he too embarrassed doing commercials acknowledging his difficulty boning his wife?) and beer, comes the traditional TV spots for forthcoming theatrical releases.  

    Advertising Age has got the info on some of 2010’s would-be blockbuster tentpoles we can expect to see featured. Disney and Universal have bought one slot each with no specific details on what would fill said spot. Here's hoping we see a kick-ass spot for The A-Team. That's going to really surprise people, I tells ya!

    On the other hand, Paramount is going all out. You can expect to be Super Bowl ads for Iron Man 2, The Last Airbender and Shutter Island during the broadcast. Such a move makes sense the Shellhead sequel will in all probability kick everyone's ass this coming summer (with the possible exception of Toy Story 3. But we'll see about that).
