First of all -- That was you guys behind the Argo trailer? OUTSTANDING work. As you can tell by my avatar, really wish I got a better glimpse of Kyle Chandler (maybe he's not in it much anyway), but you get the film across clean and you nail the balance between inherently absurd concept and serious stakes (and by virtue making the film look like it does the same). If I was directing a movie and you cut a trailer that good for me? I don't care how good the source material was; I'd drop whatever I had to do that night and buy you all a round of beer. How's that for an ego massage? Too much? Maybe a little creepy? Oh well, anyway: kiimo posted:Here's Gangster Squad, let me know what you think. Criticisms welcome. Yeah, I see how the rap music can be off-putting, but of all the rap music you could've picked this was probably the way to go. It's still a little disassociated from the era, but you guys managed to give the whole thing a unique, pulpy vibe that I really dig -- and with Ruben Flesicher and Will Beall (he wrote some of the more serious and cool episodes of the TV show Castle) involved I'm sure that's exactly the kind of film it is.

kiimo posted:My boss and Ruben get along swimmingly. He's pumped about it. Personally I would have gone in a bit of a different direction but maybe that's why I'm not the boss. I definitely got Untouchables vibes anyway, but those are inescapable. Either way, I can definitely see how this'll put more asses in seats than at least Public Enemies (of course, I'm sure you all hope so). Now that you mention it, I've noticed how Gosling and Stone take up a lot of the major beats of the trailer; the Public Enemies trailer tried a similar thing with the relationship between Dillinger and Billie Frechette, but I can imagine women are going to feel a lot more invested in a Gosling / Stone reunion than in Johnny Depp romancing Marion Cotillard. So the young ladies come out to see that while their boyfriends come to see cops and robbers kicking the poo poo out of each other. Solid strategy; hope it works!

Out of curiosity, did you ever have any projects where you had great source material, but all the elements had low visibility in testing (assuming you can discuss stuff like this)? I'm sure that's rare to non-existent judging by where you seem to be working, but I'm interested in how you and your vendors would approach it.

penismightier posted:No Church in the Wild is a great pick. The second song? Not so much. Funny, I feel exactly the opposite. "No Church" just feels really disconnected, while "Love is Blindness" just nails the tone. quote:Looks great though, everything is so huge! I'm simultaneously frightened and excited to see this one in 3D because...seriously, GOOD GOD. The first 10 minutes of Australia left me completely punch drunk, I can't imagine being assaulted by that kind of imagery in 3D.

Robert Denby posted:I always think of "Gatsby" as being a small, subtle book, so seeing that trailer is very jarring. I'm a bit intrigued. They really seem to be duplicating that sickly-green two-color Technicolor look (which was also duplicated in "The Aviator"). If I remember, back when this movie was first announced, Luhrmann was quoted as saying that he wanted to use this movie to turn a mirror on today's society and say "You've been drunk on money." So in that respect, he seems to be on his way to hitting that mark by really pressing the decadence of the period. I somehow made it through high school without reading Gatsby, though. (Which I might be grateful for if we didn't read bullshit like The Light in the Forest instead. Seriously, motherfuck that book.) So I don't know if that approach is all that true to what Fitzgerald was going for.

I kept meaning to post this. I can't remember the movie, but it was something geared mostly towards younger audiences, so they played a few kiddie trailers. First one that came up was The Pirates! Band of Misfits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxJVHv_bmhk Pretty standard stuff, really wants to sell you on the jokes, the zany antics, etc. You get wacky voices, a few over-the-top sound effects, and The Ramones' most popular song. I mean it's Aardman, of course there's more to it (apparently much more, it turns out), but it's really very safe. Which made this stand out all the more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVEGvdpLmJI Look at that. Look at that loving trailer. No sound effects, not even for title cards, except for at the very end. Sold ENTIRELY on creepy visuals, set to Donovan's "Season of the Witch", and the tag line is slick and evocative without being corny. Of course, everyone in the theater was put off by it, because it was "weird" and "gross." Screw 'em.

Zero Dark Thirty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcBjOVKKxh0 Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal dramatize the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Stars Joel Edgerton, Mark Strong, Jessica Chastain, Chris Pratt, Kyle loving Chandler, Mark Duplass (!), and quite a few others you may or may not recognize. I'd say more but there's...really nothing to add. I'm one of the shocking few around here that thought The Hurt Locker was fantastic, and I don't really mind changing certain details for dramatic effect. I say bring it on.

Sometimes you are severely limited by who says "Yes I will take your 200,000 dollars to use my precious song for thirty seconds". Oh well. So it's basically Twilight, but it's with witchcraft, there's seemingly no creepy domestic abuse undertones, and it looks like there's an actual story to it and it's not just some lonely middle-aged goth's jill-off fantasy. Sold. Florence doesn't seem out of place at all. DivisionPost fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Sep 20, 2012 |

Aatrek posted:Why can't he just be a good cop having a bad day? Because FOX doesn't think Bruce Willis can make that interesting for some loving reason. Dude's gotta be a superhero. But again, that loving line at the end. Not so much the content, but that sarcastic, bitter, "why does this poo poo always happen to me" delivery that could only come from John McClane. Not to mention the implication that they basically took the idea for a 24/Die Hard crossover and just changed Jack Bauer to John Jr. I mean, that kind of sucks, but it's also kind of awesome for, you know, reasons.

achillesforever6 posted:I still need to see the DC of this movie, I hear it makes it 20x better than what we got. Really I don't hate KOH, but that is just because of the battle scenes in the last act are just so beautifully well done. BlueBayou posted:Yeah I never saw the DC, but I should. The released version so clearly had stuff cut from it. I remember leaving the theater thinking that the DC would be awesome. i should watch it, especially since Ive been reading about the crusades a lot lately As someone who never saw the theatrical cut, I can say that the DC was an excellent film that was more about a man struggling to understand the nature of God than it was an epic action film; from what I understand it closed up a lot of plot holes in the TC as well.

kiimo posted:Superman Returns did exactly what you're asking for and guess what it sucked. To be fair, Superman Returns does have its fair share of supporters, but your point stands. And honestly...let's look at the Batman Begins trailer again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vak9ZLfhGnQ There's a sense here that Bruce Wayne is a broken man who has built himself up as someone entirely different. The trailer has this dark, somewhat mournful, borderline-apocalyptic vibe to it, a vibe that would only increase in later trailers throughout the trilogy. But this trailer finds Clark Kent at a much different place: he's at the very start of his life, figuring out which man he wants to be, and although there's despaired confusion and fear coming from within and without (reflected through the muted color palette), there's also a sense of hope and discovery running through this triumphant imagery and music. I can feel Nolan's influence, but this sure as hell isn't Superman Begins.

That's interesting since Pacific Rim is at least some kind of risk, being an original IP. Really hoping it wins hearts and minds, by the way.

They use a remix of The Prodigy's "Breathe" in this trailer. It's barely recognizable, but at the 53 second mark, the title comes up, and there is that BAD-rear end motif from the song, as if to say "Yes, this is indeed bad-rear end." Here's this trailer that shows tanks crushing cars, cars bringing down loving freighter planes, other various scenes of car superheroics and a bunch of people looking hot, sweaty, and/or angry and it is set to a remix of what is arguably THE gently caress-poo poo-up anthem of the 90s, one that is just as gently caress-poo poo-uppy without feeling dated. Perfection. This Memorial Day, we are all bros.
