It depends how far out they are. If the production is over a year away (likely), then there is little point in starting a 'teaser' campaign.
However, there are lots of 2009 productions 'leaking stuff' (Barnum, Phantom 2 etc), and with the advent of the net, Jim's blog is a logical place for 'some news' every 6-8 weeks, from his point of view?
I've never understood why everything in the music industry has to be soooo secret (it's not MI5)?
