I didn't really like the trailer that much (the voice-over is just awful) and I'll admit to not being the biggest DGG fan, but I'll probably still give it a chance.
Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and shit . . . and Jack just left town.

Didn't he use something similar in All the Real Girls?
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

The lack of v/o is what made the All the Real Girls trailer so great.

Put this movie at #2 (behind Life Aquatic) for most anticipated movie of the year for me.

we talking about the trailer music?  in all the real girls the trailer or the movie?  'cause there's nothing like that in the movie.

unless i misunderstood you - the trailer music for all the real girls is indeed in the film as well.....i have a strange feeling thats not what you meant, however....

but, jesus, undertow....what a bad fucking trailer.......i'm still gonna see it of course, but i'm feelin kinda wary now - i hope this isnt a colossal fuck up....

pete

no I was talking about how the trailer for undertow had terrible music, and hoped that the undertow trailer music is not in the movie.  so when ranemaka said "Didn't he use something like that in all the real girls", I assumed that he meant the trailer music in undertow was similar to the actual soundtrack of all the real girls.  or that all the real girls's trailer music was taken from the soundtrack of the movie.  it was real unclear what he meant, so I made a double statement/ question thing.  but thanks for clearing up at least part of that statement/ question combo.

It made it an excellent preview of the awful dialogue in the film.

First thirty seconds and the last thirty seconds are pretty good. The minute in the middle seems to be UA's way of saying they hope this movie makes money.

SHAFTR, admit it!  that trailer looks so run-of-the-mill.  granted they are trying to sell his possibly still DGG film, but that certainly couldnt get you excited.  if you didnt know he had made the film you would not have been interested/excited by THAT?!?
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

It is true the Trailer was run of the mill, but I'd rather look at the director rather than the trailer when deciding what movie I am looking forward to.  I thought the look of the film and the storyline show a lot of promise, the v/o and the cutting of the Trailer is awful.

Trailers don't mean shit.   Especially when they're so obviously cut together by the studio (like this one).

I'm excited about this movie for two reasons: David Gordon Greene and Terrence Malick.

Plus: Philip Glass scored it, and I will watch ANYTHING that he worked on.

I agree with Film Student. Who cares about a trailer? It's so funny how you guys always agree on stupid stuff like trailers and cover art.
