Here at the Movie Blog we often post about trailers that we are impressed with or that we think you just might want to see. The Artform of putting a trailer together can sometimes build hype for a movie you didnt want to see, or tug at the heartstrings and make you want to see it more. Yeah sometimes they are posted on YouTube or some other service and get taken down, but shit happens. That’s what you get for not checking this site every day. Get over it.
John recently posted about how the Prestige Trailer got him pretty pumped up to see that movie, and how the second trailer kinda ruined that buzz for him. John told ME about this movie and I was excited. Im glad I didnt see the second trailer first, or I might have thought John was kidding. Let me tell you, with that cast, that director, and that first trailer? How can you NOT see this movie. Come on, its Batman vs Wolverine.. and they are Victorian age magicians! And it also has Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie.
A poorly made trailer can kill a movie. Years ago, there was a movie called The Musketeer. The trailer had me so hyped with the swordplay and the action. Too bad the movie was like a route canal for your eyes. Someone needs to pay the guy who made that trailer a lot more money. I am sure that was the ONLY reason that movie got ANYONE through the doors.
All that being said, there are a few things that we just expect from trailers. On that note, I present you with:
And Edward Norton.
