We all love seeing the trailers for new movies while sitting in the theater.

Every once in a while I'll see a trailer that is life changing.

Unfortunately the movies that follow are shit. Complete garbage. I have seen movie trailers that send chills down my spine or put a tear in my eye, and the movie was such crap. The myth of the industry is that movie producers or the companies that release these films are the ones that make trailers. The fact of the matter is that private advertisement companies are hired to create movie trailers. They do it in ways where certain aspects of the movie are changed, enhanced, or somehow altered in order to create more appeal for the audience whom of which they are selling the movie to. (Sorry if you actually like these movies. You should get better taste.)

Pokemon : I choose you

Watching this trailer brought tears to my eyes.... its a brilliant piece of art. This was definitely created to give nostalgia to the old school Pokemon fans. What I wanted to see was a remake of the original series done in movie form.... this is basically what drove me to the theater to actually purchase a ticket and see this piece of crap. The movie was definitely not for people like me to have nostalgia.... it seems to be created strictly to trick parents into taking their kids to the movies and the kids will enjoy it and they will take the adults money with them having no satisfaction... I still watch this trailer from time to time... it gives me some strong feelings and memories from my childhood. Check it out.

Deathnote by Netflix

I was a fan of the manga. Definitely a fan of the TV show... but why cant they get a Deathnote movie right? The japanese ones at least follow the source material better.... this was complete and utter garbage.. They made the main character a pussy when he was supposed to be a sinister leader... the list just goes on and on. I find it amazing that all they had to do was write a script from the already written story..... AND THEY STILL FUCKED IT UP. How disappointing... The trailer still does the job for me though.

Vice film

Vice did a short documentary on the concepts and business behind the making of movie trailers. It inspired me to write this post, simply because I have been fooled by trailers before. It goes into detail about the business dealings and the ways that they actually create the trailers, from sound design, to the creative input.
