Author Topic: Question about finding trailer information Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-19-2003 09:41 AM                     How does one find trailer info for movies. Ie, how many teasers, trailer versions 1,2,3, a,b,c running time, etc. Say like you are looking for trailer info for "ARMAGEDDEN" where would you find out what trailers were produced for it?  |  IP: Logged William H. Ward Film Handler Posts: 27 From: SAn Antonio, Texas Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-22-2003 10:58 AM                     Try going to the website............www.movietrailers.com There you can find out maybe what you are looking for. Another suggestion would be the film production company (I.E. WarnerBros.com), etc. You can watch these on your computer and time them or whatever.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-22-2003 04:12 PM                     Apparently nobody on here knows the answer to that question. I would hate to think it was other wise. Thanks William for the info.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-22-2003 04:20 PM                     It's a shame there isn't some sort of database for this type of thing. I'm sure studios have records of this though.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-22-2003 04:57 PM                     The only people that would really know the answer would be working in Ad Pub Department at the time over at Disney. Because when I was at Warner Ad Publicity during the mid 80's , we would have tapes of different versions of trailers and TV spots, EPK in the department. You may have a teaser or two depending on if they had a date movement (coming soon or coming this summer) Then a regular trailer and maybe a trailer if they wanted to re-release later in the season. Maybe an Academy trailer. Thats just for Domestic release then you will have different international trailers depending on different countries. Is there any info on the Criterion DVD release of that title. I will check the copy I have at home later tonight.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-22-2003 05:07 PM                     No need to as Armagedden was just an example.  |  IP: Logged
