Trailers : Movie Marketing Madness

Igor trailer

I was a bit hard on the Weinstein Co. when the poster for Igor, their computer-animated kids flick was released. I basically surmised the movie wouldn’t get the support it needed to become a hit and so why were they even bothering. But I like this trailer for the movie quite a bit. [...]

The Rocker trailer

I don’t even know what to say about this trailer for The Rocker, starring Rainn Wilson (Dwight on “The Office”) as a former drummer for a hot band who’s given a second chance to rock out when his nephew asks him to play in their band at the prom. Wilson is so obviously insane and [...]

Noise trailer

I was kind of meh about the poster for Noise but the trailer has me completely sold on the movie. Tim Robbins stars as a man who’s been driven to the brink of insanity by the constant chirping of car alarms in New York City. As a result he becomes an anonymous media celebrity when [...]

Star Wars: Clone Wars poster and trailer announcement

Warner Bros. and Lucasfilm have sent out the official poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the animated series that’s also getting a theatrical release.
As you can see, the poster introduces the main characters that will be the focal point of the movie and the later series. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda and the Padawan learner of [...]

New Accidental Husband trailer and posters

Yari Film Group has sent out a new trailer and a bunch of new teaser-type posters for their romantic comedy The Accidental Husband, starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The three posters all represent the idea that a book by Thurman’s character - a relationship advice specialist with a regular radio show - [...]

New The Love Guru trailer

Paramount has released a new trailer for the Mike Myers comedy The Love Guru that you can view below.
I haven’t been as harsh on the campaign for this movie as some others have been. The first trailer in fact worked quite well for me and I genuinely laughed at more than a couple parts. There [...]

Postal trailer

Oh sweet gravy-filled boat of crap. This trailer for director - and I use the term loosely - Uwe Boll’s satire - and I use the word loosely - Postal is so awful as to not be believed. There’s a rough semblance of a plot in there somewhere but it’s so covered over by the [...]

Twilight teaser trailer and poster

Summit has released the first teaser trailer and a poster for Twilight, the studio’s young vampires and the girls who love them flick.
The poster, which comes to us via MTV, doesn’t worry about anything as silly as subtlety and goes straight for selling the movie as a romance between the beautiful teenage girl and the [...]

Beverly Hills Chihuahua trailer

In case you still held out some hope that Beverly Hills Chihuahua wouldn’t be an absolutely awful trainwreck after you saw the poster, I now present the movie’s teaser trailer. Yes, the movie is built around the idea that chihuahuas are some sort of noble warrior class of creatures that get carried around [...]

Mummy 3 trailer coming in June

Director Rob Cohen has revealed that the first trailer for Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor will likely appear some time in June. That’s cutting it extremely tight considering the movie opens in August. But Cohen says the shots Universal wants to include contain effects that aren’t quite done, so they’re opting to get it [...]

New Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull trailer

The weekend’s second big trailer release, which also occurred in theaters in front of Iron Man, is for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This new spot ditches the nostalgic beginning of the first one and dives right into THIS movie and is a little stronger for it. We’re taken [...]

New The Dark Knight trailer

As promised over the weekend a new trailer for The Dark Knight has been released by Warner Bros. The trailer was released theatrically in front of Iron Man and online as the payoff to the latest round of Why So Serious hunting. The new spot certainly offers an expanded look at the world [...]

New The Happening trailer

This new trailer for The Happening, the latest movie from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, definitely turns up the “creepy presence” factor for the movie, where other trailers have played up the “mysterious force” aspect more.
The new footage doesn’t really kick in until the last third of the spot. Prior to that we’re treated to more [...]

Finding Amanda trailer

More or less charming trailer for the comedy Finding Amanda. The film has Matthew Broderick playing a compulsive gambler whose marriage is on the rocks because of that gambling. He finds out his 20-year old niece has become a hooker in Las Vegas and so, to prove himself to his wife, he goes to try [...]

Twilight trailer to premiere with Speed Racer

According to Cinematical, the first trailer for the much-anticipated film Twilight will debut in front of Speed Racer when it opens in a couple weeks. At least it could be in front of Speed since it’s said to be shipping “in the can” as loose film and won’t actually be attached to the print. So [...]
