Specially-shot movie trailers

trailers with speacially-shot footage that isnt part of the actual film. like with a charcter talking to camer about what's in the movie. these seem to be a lost art.

SPD2 posted this great one in the Tangerine Dream thread...

edit: i find this pre T2 trailer interesting for a lot of reasons. One being that Arnold looks younger than he does in the actual movie Terminator 2, maybe skinnier. Either way it was the iconic Arnold shot (at the end of this teaser) used on most of the videogame and merchandising for the film. and the music is fucking awesome! it sounds more like the synth heavy score for Terminator 1, i wonder if it's by Brad Fiedel?

Fiedel scored T2 as well, and it is a variation on the main Terminator theme, so it's probably from the T2 score (probably buried under explosions in the actual film).

No special footage, but Orson Welles sure as shit aint in the movie (unless has has a cameo as Unicron)

FLOL at the way he says "Persis Khambatta"

im a big fan of both the scores, but this song appears no where in either movie or soundtrack recording. In a weird way it doesn't sound like brad fiedel to me, it sounds like the Midway arcade music for the T2 arcade game

So I searched on SkyNet Google, and found a useful as a motherfukka website...

awesome thread, hope to see more of these. The Psycho trailer is just too strange yet quite effective

Brilliant

isn't the Kill Bill footage actually at the start of the second movie?

Spider-Man

I'm not sure if it's a special shot trailer because as far as I remember the scene was pulled from the movie because of 9/11...

I think (correct me if i am wrong) that Stan Winston Directed that trailer, he did a pretty good job!

why would someone other than the director (especially someone as big as cameron) direct such a big promo?

Spiderman, T2 and Back to the future all seem very much in a different style than the directors who made those films so who knows.

BTTF trailer seems very unlike something RObert Zemeckis would do

A good director has faith in his collaborators. No doubt Cameron was there every step of the way making the trailer, but given it was going to be 90% practical effects, he was big enough to let the best practical effects guy in the businsess take the directing credit.

In the YouTube comments for the Romancing The Stone trailer, somebody claims that 4th wall breaking trailers are a Zemickis trademark, but I couldn't find any others...

Found another one. Looks like they might have re-dubbed movie footage to break the 4th wall but anyway...

The last shot of the trailer isn't in the film at all.
