Then Bruce Willis lights a lighter. He's filthy, crawling through some kind of duct. He announces, "How can the same thing happen to the same guy, twice?" Then the lighter goes out. End of trailer.<br /><br />So much better than that actual movie.Denis Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722710102934646436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-5335758960522466052009-07-01T15:13:13.991-07:002009-07-01T15:13:13.991-07:00I thought either "Independence Day" or &...I thought either "Independence Day" or "Godzilla" should have been in the top five - They were really great trailers. People were talking about them - Also what about the Star Wars Movies? <br /><br />If anything I thought that "Cloverfield" stole their trailer ideas from those movies.Jon-Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576192905326662253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-90200270355905009902009-06-29T11:56:56.856-07:002009-06-29T11:56:56.856-07:00The trailer can do a lot to clarify a movie.

Now he is the same age as me, and we are both from southern Africa, and I could recognize many of the adult types he portrays because my parents had friends just like that, but the movie didn't quite gel for me.<br /><br />Later it was released and I saw the trailer, and I said, "Aaaaah, so <i>that's</i> what the movie's about."<br /><br />The trailer editor had managed to find the story in the movie and put it on screen in the ninety seconds or whatever length a trailer is.Martin_Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872780969179149381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-76367889958122581842009-06-28T13:57:05.127-07:002009-06-28T13:57:05.127-07:00Strange that none of Hitchcock's trailers made...Strange that none of Hitchcock's trailers made it. "Corruption" against 'North by Northwest?"<br /><br />The funniest one had to have been Seinfeld's (even though he didn't appear in it).<br /><br />I can say I love trailer moments. That's how I write. I would love to have every page and every scene fighting for inclusion in the trailer but in the end the movie will never get finished if you do that. <br /><br />I just find spots where I feel I can do something "peak-y" or "vallley-y" (are those words?) and look for some emotion I can use with either dialog or actions.<br /><br />If I can make a trailer in my head that would make me want to see it I think I've done my job - and would bet on it.Christian H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16847810167041864292noreply@blogger.com
