Author Topic: Trailers different from feature Ron Curran Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 504 From: Springwood NSW Australia Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-01-2007 10:58 PM                        1. Bean. We received complaints because the scene in the trailer where he destroys a laptop was not in the feature. 2. Scoop. (And, if I remember correctly, the last Woody Mono Allen trailer) is in full 5.1 stereo Numerous other features where the trailer was “Scoped” to attach to a Scope feature. Does anybody have any other recent examples?  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-02-2007 02:36 AM                        I remember one from last year with Pirates O T C 2 , there were at least 3 scenes in the standard trailer which did not appear in the film , they were real good "one liners" to , one part was a scene with the cannibals another was on the beach being chased by natives and the third was he fell into the grave differently during the wooden wheel chase.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-02-2007 03:30 AM                     Anchorman had lots of footage not in the theatrical release.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-02-2007 04:54 AM                     Theres a non-feature scene in the trailer for "Now and Then"... don't laugh.  |  IP: Logged Bastiaan Fleerkate Film Handler Posts: 85 From: Linschoten, Utrecht, The Netherlands Registered: Jun 2006 posted 06-02-2007 07:17 AM                        Flushed Away had some other mice in the trailer with the main rat. In the movie they were gone...  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-02-2007 09:59 AM                        Since trailers are made many months before the feature is completed, it's not unusual at all for the content to be different. Or, sometimes scenes are shot and then used for the "extended" DVD version (which is almost never better than the original cut). Or sometimes material is shot specifically for the trailers, not meant to be included in the movie. The upcoming "Bee Movie" comes to mind.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-02-2007 07:48 PM                    There's a shot in the Lemmony Snickets trailer not in the movie. For what it's worth, there was one frame in the Apocalypto trailer that (I'm pretty sure) wasn't in the movie:  |  IP: Logged John Caswell Film Handler Posts: 35 From: Liverpool, Merseyside, UK Registered: Oct 2006 posted 06-02-2007 08:41 PM                     Hey there, Kill Bill trailer springs to mind. Used that one as an example when trying to explain to a very insistent customer who seemed to think I'd chopped part of a film out, to save time. She said she'd seen the trailer for whatever it was on 'Jonathan Ross', so of course that must be right.  |  IP: Logged Tony Ratcliff Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Madison, IN, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 06-02-2007 09:27 PM                     I was disappointed when the music from the trailer for "Ever After" was not in the actual movie, nor on the soundtrack CD.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-03-2007 01:20 PM                     The strip scene in Grindhouse that was in the trailer but not Death Proof.  |  IP: Logged Gordon Burke Film Handler Posts: 15 From: San Jose, CA Registered: Sep 2005 posted 06-04-2007 06:27 PM                        quote: Tony Ratcliff ...disappointed when the music from the trailer for "Ever After" was not in the actual movie... Has there ever been a trailer for the initial release that has used the score or songs from the film? Besides the unavailablility of the release music at trailer assembly time, the soundtrack for the trailer is always crafted to tie its movie to the success of a previous film.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Case Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Sydney NSW Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 06-08-2007 01:36 AM                       Hmm. I'm sure that there was a time when trailers HAD to have only material that was in the feature itself: it was to do with Trade Practices, or false representation of goods, etc. That was obviously in the time when you made a film then made the trailer afterwards. Now, when the trailer isn't so much a set of clips from the film as a separate advertising film in its own right, and is often out there in the cinema before the film itself is shot,things are different. Maybe trailers should carry a disclaimer:" actual contents may vary" or similar! Otherwise patrons ought to be entitled to get their money back  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi. WNW of Rockwall, TX but it seems much, much longer) Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-15-2007 04:27 PM                        Of course there's the classic example of the early SPIDERMAN trailer that was pulled after 9/11. Pulling them and editing the WTC out of the feature makes that older trailer still sell for $25-100 on ebay. There's an early BLADERUNNER trailer (and a workprint) that features the song "If I Didn't Care" done by the Inkspots. When the producers felt they were being jacked around when they were asked to pony up $40,000 to use the song, they dropped it from the feature and inserted Don Percival's "One More Kiss Dear" in the release print.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-15-2007 06:19 PM                     I have a spidy trailer and I distinctly remember the Blade Runner trailer...they made a big deal about it being in Dolby Stereo...which wasn't don't back when it came out...only about 20% of the features at that time were stereo.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 08-17-2007 06:27 PM                        I seem to remember before 9/11 reading that the early trailer for Spider-Man was never intended to be in the feature, it was shot specifically as a trailer. quote: Ron Curran Bean. We received complaints because the scene in the trailer where he destroys a laptop was not in the feature. This opens here next week, and on the trailer here they show him destroying a laptop while on a train (dropping coffee on it) ... is that the shot you're talking about? I wonder if that will be in the film as released here, or if they just kept the same trailer even though that got cut out of the movie?  |  IP: Logged
