Author Topic: Dawn Of The Dead Trailer Comments Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-18-2004 09:35 PM                     Have you guys seen this new trailer? When we first shoed it on Along Came Polly, I had an employee come up and say that the film was burning...having seen the trailer before this I just laughed and showed him that it was fine. I do think the hands behind the screen effect after the burn effect were really freaky. I have even had customers comment that it was very strange. Any of you had similar experiences?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-18-2004 10:12 PM                    There's no substitution for the real thing (film burning).  |  IP: Logged Jeff Klump Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Austin, Texas, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-19-2004 05:16 AM                    I've had customers begin to tell me that the film is messed up then realize its fine.  |  IP: Logged James Leon Rockett Jr Film Handler Posts: 7 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-19-2004 05:31 PM                     What an awesome trailer... the burning film thing really was the icing on the cake.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-19-2004 05:43 PM                     This was the first time that I actually saw 'fake' burning on screen. I always wondered if it would trick me and of course it did.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-19-2004 05:50 PM                     Fake burning on screen never bothers me. After the first time you see it (anyone remember Gremlins 2?) you aren't phased much over it. It's those damned fake dirt and scratches that make me jump!  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-19-2004 09:24 PM                     They circulated a note along with the trailer telling us not to worry about it.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 01-20-2004 04:23 AM                        quote: (anyone remember Gremlins 2?) I sure do!... and I don't mind admitting I freaked out the first night that thing ran. Judging by the horns in my field, it faked out a lot of others, too!  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-20-2004 01:41 PM                        i had an usher who came up to watch it when it opened that ran out of the theater yelling that it was a brainwrap..it just so happened that one of my booth trainees was at the other end of the booth w/ me when the call came in...he hurdled three film cans to get to the projector before I could tell him it was the trailer...I have never laughed so hard  |  IP: Logged Robert D.

By the way, there's no mall by that name in Wisconsin. I loved the trailer, but then I loved the original motion picture. I can't tell you how many times that I saw the original movie. Funny thing, Universal isn't ready to ship the one sheets (per website). But, the one sheets are all ready on Ebay! That sux. AchorBay is re-releasing the original movie on DVD in March. Thats kinda odd, I'm surprised that Universal hasn't block it.  |  IP: Logged Robert D.

Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-02-2004 08:51 PM                     This is only on version 3 (2:30). The other versions or teasers (1:30) do not have it. I have not run it yet, but I took one off the shelf and ran it on the make up table the other day and it looked like Gremlins 2 with the hands waving on the screen.  |  IP: Logged R. Andrew Diercks Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Marion, Iowa (In the middle of everywhere) Registered: May 2003 posted 02-03-2004 06:59 PM                     Seems to me this was used on a Freddy movie once too, maybe New Nightmare. I saw it on video however so it lost all effectiveness. There truly is no subsitute for the actual burning of film on screen.  |  IP: Logged
