Welcome everyone to the new Trailer thread! Use this thread to talk about Movie trailers, TV spots, and those dumbass trailer-for-trailers that are a constant thing that's happening now.

Here's a little insight from kiimo on how trailers are made:
Process of a trailer or This Thread's E/N Portion For The Evening
I work for a studio that I don't want to name but is very easy to figure out in Creative Advertising, for one of five teams doing complete campaigns for our film slate. We do posters, billboards, radio, online, trailers, TV spots and basically all of the origination of creative materials. Others then take over and repurpose the assets (art basically) for various things. Here's a short timeline before I bore you to tears. This is for trailers, not print art so I'll mostly ignore the print side.
Step 1: Execs select one of five SVPs and their team to assign to a film based on experience, inter-office politics, outer-office politics, good old fashioned Industry networking, and pagan liberal media sacrifices to the Jewish Illuminati that runs Hollywood from the SKG warlock tower.
Step 2: Meet with producers. Here is where you find out who is going to gently caress up all your work and make it look like poo poo down the road because of their precious film and how they know how to market it better than you even though they aren't finished with principal photography yet and production is on hiatus because of any manner of fuckups by idiots up and down the line.
Step 3: Assign vendors to the film. The SVP selects their flavor of the moment vendors to compete on the film based on endless drinks and dinners and free Lakers tickets. These vendors are where the ACTUAL CREATION OF TRAILERS AND POSTERS TAKE PLACE. There usually are three AV vendors who compete on trailers, teasers and TV Spots and three print vendors who compete on one-sheets (posters), billboards and all manner of print art.
Step 4: Get the script. Read the script. Get excited because every movie is going to be great when you read the script. Watermark the script, send the script to all 6 vendors.
Step 5: Watch the dailies as they come in. Get depressed because every movie is going to be terrible when you watch the dailies. Hope for the best.
Step 6: Get an early cut of the feature, usually just an editor's assembly that is three or more hours long. Send it to vendors with a burn-in (watermark).
Step 7: Get an initial trailer from the vendors. In the end there will be hundreds and hundreds of total versions of various cuts from various vendors as we make our way through the campaign.
Step 8: Get the vendors on fiber, specifically fiber-optic in the feed from their editing room to tweak the trailers as we sit on plush couches staring at a 60 inch television and critique their work while they do the heavy lifting. Drop this, move this, change this, etc. Endlessly. Three to eight times a day.
Step 9: Deal with rock band poo poo heads and their shithead agents when trying to select music cues for the film. Here you'll find the world of over-inflated egos of a string of clueless morons who think you'll pay them a million dollars to use fifteen seconds of their banal dreck to sell a film who's target demographic is twelve-year-old girls.
Step 10: Show trailers to Film Makers in order to get approval. These meetings happen often and you'd think I'd describe it like step 9. However, I have found film makers to be quite genial and professional once you get to this point. Maybe they're just too exhausted after just wrapping production to fight it. They're usually happy. But then again I work for a great studio so I might just be spoiled.
Step 11: Debut trailer. I'm skipping a bunch of stuff but let's get on with it. This is the point we'll be talking about most. That initial trailer or teaser (depending on the length and tone) that you debut for the film. It is usually the first thing you see, before the one-sheet or anything else other than leaked footage. These are often shown at conventions.
Step 12: Start putting out trailer 2, TV Spots. Now we're rolling, getting TV Spots out and moving right along. Six months or more have passed by now. You're sick of the film at this point.
Step 13: Film premiers. Wow I skipped ahead of a lot but here's where you find out if you still have a job. Yay for fickle movie-going public who hate everything! Yay for terrible economy and competing home entertainment systems! Yay for Think Like A Man inexplicably catching America's attention and loving your box office up!
And here are some upcoming trailers that absolutely won't date this thread when I'm too lazy to make a new one:

Needs more of my homie Dave Dastmalchian.
This is true of literally everything, though.

I’ve been hearing it isn’t very good, but that was only from one thread from a couple people. Anyone see it yet? It looks pretty and colorful.

The trailer isn't doing much for me, but that's a hell of a cast and apparently the book's really good.
Also it's by one of the best directors alive.
Yeah those were my feelings as well. Not the best trailer but there is literally 0 chance I am not seeing this movie.

The look of this movie is really hitting the right notes for me, some of the shots were giving me Barry Lyndon vibes.

Is this on Hulu or something, or they plan to air "gently caress Batman" *slashes throat, blood spray on wall* on the CW?
DC Universe is a DC-only streaming service

Yep. I'm excited as gently caress for Brian Tyree Henry playing the evil mob boss and Daniel Kaluuya playing his muscle.

Youtube just suggested me this trailer for UFO, a movie star- I mean featuring Gillian Anderson in a terrible red wig:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxUcHrPhewY
I know, it's obviously a really low budget production, not really fair to make fun of- oh hey, that's Audacity!
How do these people get these actors? My friend who went to film school does short films on the side and he was telling me last year they shot a film with Cathy Moriarty and I was just like ???

Whalberg is a bad choice for Sully, that will not change, but the movie doesn't look terrible. Definitely generic, but not terrible.
Looks like they're combining 3 and 4 into one movie, cutting the Shangrila stuff from 3 and replacing it with bits of 4's story. Turning Rafe from a rich whiny white guy into Antonio Banderas seems like a good call, though.

Is the old Tron thread gold mined? Thanks to that thread I and many others all got posters that only 1,000 were made. Plus pins and other merch.
Despite Leto I hope they make the 3rd and bring back Cillian Murphy as Dillingers son.
I loving ruined the back of mine putting it up on a wall because I was a dipshit but I still have mine and the coins/pins somewhere (including a token from one of the goons who went to Flynn’s Arcade in California Disney).

All of Channel 5’s videos are incredible, all for different reasons. Andrew rules and he provides an incredibly genuine view of how insane everyone is if you just let them talk about something

Right right, we just weren't prepared for this level of fandom.
The Blum teaser has 36.5 million views since Tuesday and this has 680,000 views since last night. Or maybe we call it "clicks" since I doubt anyone would watch the whole thing. At least, I wouldn't. I've stopped trying to predict this fanbase.
We're over here working hard on Exorcist and Fall Guy and getting Fast X out the door and suddenly this is #1 on the agenda. It's like M3GAN, just try not to gently caress it up now.
Do you guys like not fully understand how popular FNAF is? You’re going to make a shitzillion dollars.

Maybe my boss did, I didn't. The teaser had 55 million views. There's nothing to compare it to on our comps for tracking this sort of poo poo. It blew away A Quiet Place 2 and that had a coordinated trailer launch. It's...unparalleled
Yeah, brother, FNAF is absurdly popular with kids.
