uPen posted:You never saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoNDp03udhg in theaters? Oh I did. That trailer played to stunned silence when I saw it; like the same kind of silence you'd get during a documentary about the Khmer Rogue. I did what another guy in this thread did the second time I saw "WALL-E"; waited outside until the trailers were over so I wouldn't have to see it again. I was with friends and they said, "C'mon, how bad could it be?" when I told them I would wait, then when I came back in one of them said, "If only I'd known, I'd have been waiting out there with you."

Trailer for Robert Zemeckis'new live action film Flight was released today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RtCMIe9oj8 It looks interesting enough, although the trailer seems to give away a lot.

Robert Zemeckis directing live action is an automatic "see" for me but even with that fact, that trailer is pretty engrossing.

Worried that it will explicitly state at the end that it was the hand of god which sets that plane down safely, sort of like Contact or Signs. Did anyone else get that sense from the trailer?

GonSmithe posted:Trailer for Robert Zemeckis'new live action film Flight was released today: That's how Zemeckis likes his trailers. He explicitly wants the whole story in the trailer so that audiences know what they're getting. The trailer for Back To The Future has everything up until the last lightning strike that sends Marty home.

That Flight trailer is great. I think giving away the "twist" is necessary for the movie to pique your interest and to stand out. It's made me much more likely to go see it.

GonSmithe posted:Trailer for Robert Zemeckis'new live action film Flight was released today: I have to agree with the give away a lot part, but at the same time, I wasn't actually surprised by anything that was "revealed." All the story notes seemed like they were to be expected, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how it ends up there. For some reason, the trailer reminded me of the trailer to Unbreakable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_f1uCWKZQs), which has absolutely nothing but premise, which I think is more intriguing than the helping of plot that we got. Also, this sort of explains John Goodman going through some stuff on Community.

Farbtoner posted:I don't know if it's the same way for everyone else in the rest of the world, but in America we have a somewhat unique way of advertising foreign films: we completely obscure the fact that the film is in another language since people have a weird aversion to subtitles. It's kind of interesting from a production standpoint to see how they edit it (Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Micmacs looks way more goofy because the trailer is just all the non-vocal slapstick and weird side characters, Pan's Labyrinth used two minutes of effects shots that made it look like it was a pure fantasy movie and not a historical drama with a few fantasy sequences) Here's another great example of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkqKTtcp-WY

The big problem with that trailer is "Gimme Shelter". I mean, it's a classic song, but it should probably just be retired from trailers, because it seems like it's been in HUNDREDS OF THEM. Grraaaaah!

John Goodman enters the scene and the Stones kick in, that's how you sell a movie. Flight looks really interesting as it seems on a real crash minus the lawsuit. The actual pilot who put down a crippled plane and saved part of the people on board in a way no one could reproduce in a simulator passed away a month ago. Errol Morris did an intervew session with him and it's fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPu0chBQeUk CeeJee fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Jun 8, 2012 |

"The Exorcist" is easily one of the most acclaimed and famous horror movies of all time, and caused a great deal of controversy to boot. One of the trailers was even subject to controversy; I've heard it was pulled alternately because it was too startling, and because the strobe lighting caused seizures. TV spots took a less is more approach. This spot uses only one shot from the film, while this one features only a narration over the poster artwork. Of course, one of the many attractions the movie had to offer was it's controversy, so this spot was made. It takes the same tactic as the "Pink Flamingos" trailer, by not actually showing anything from the movie, just dazed and shocked audience members. John Boorman's legendarily incoherent follow-up, "Exorcist II: The Heretic", got a big promotional push as well. A cryptic teaser that gives you no information on the story, but helpfully reminds you of the first film's existence. The full trailer is very reminiscent of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" teaser kiimo put in the OP. This trailer is actually quite indicative of the film; a jumbled mess of occasionally stunning images with a vague idea as to what the hell is happening.

Did anyone else get that sense from the trailer? I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure Contact never once says that the hand of god or any reasonable facsimile does anything whatsoever in that movie, it's about as atheistic as movies come, and the themes of faith are actually themes of faith in our fellow man and not deities, this is one of my favorite movies so I felt like it was necessary to correct you. Signs, on the other hand, is a very apt choice to refer to.

Vagabundo posted:The problem with that argument is that his movies have gotten progressively shittier. The scripts he writes suck poo poo and the work for hire movie he did sucked even more poo poo, more than Lady in the Water. The disappointing thing is that his name at the end of a trailer used to be a GOOD thing, rather than the joke it is now. In fact, it made the teaser trailer for Lady In The Water one of my favorites of that year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF6g0-IkKCk I remember people gasping at the end of this in the theater, and buzzing about it later.

I like everything he did up through The Villiage* and after that I think it all went to pot, but in my optimistic mind, I think he could be good again. *Yes I like The Village. i knew it wasn't the movie it was advertised when I went in, and I love all the acting in it so much (Besides Adrian Brody, but that's just hilarious.) Also, an M. Night movie means we get a goddamn good score from James Newton Howard, so I am all about it, even if I don't see the movie.

Another trailer with an interesting story behind it. Even though the original "TRON" was a box office disappointment upon it's release 30 years ago, it gained an immense cult following and was a reliable catalog title for Disney. Since the late 90s, Disney had been toying with the idea of a sequel, and Jeff Bridges was always more than game. In 2008, commercial director Joseph Kosinski (most famous for this ad for "Gears of War") convinced Disney to put up a small amount of money for a proof-of-concept trailer. This trailer would be shot in 3D and feature some of the designs that Kosinski wanted in the final film, a musical sting by Daft Punk, and a brief appearance from Jeff Bridges, who volunteered to do the trailer for free. The proof-of-concept trailer was first shown publicly at Comic-Con 2008. Disney had their own panel to announce a few projects. At the very end of the panel, the lights were dimmed, and this trailer was played completely unannounced. The overwhelmingly positive response from the trailer, coupled with interest surrounding the project, made Disney greenlight "TRON: Legacy". NOTE: The trailer shown at Comic Con carried the title "TR2N", and didn't have any release information on it.
