I’ve been moderately looking forward to Bewitched ever since I first heard that Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell accepted the leading roles. Two very good performers, some funny source material and you’ve got a pretty decent chance of success. So the teaser trailer has just been released (and you can see it here). That’s right… a trailer 6 months before the film comes out.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind studios starting to promote their film as far in advanced as they’d like… but they don’t show you anything in this trailer. Nothing. Not a single frame from the actual movie. It just a cheap 30 second commercial with Nicole and Will, and it’s not even footage from the film itself. So the question I have is: What’s the point? At least the Revenge of the Sith trailer gave us some footage from the movie. Boo Sony Pictures. Booo!
If you’re going to pique my interest by telling me there’s a teaser trailer… then at least give me something to look at. If you don’t have anything to show me, then wait another month before saying you do. Is that too much to ask?
