There's a lot of movie that's not in the trailer.

Fair enough, but why's he gotta lie to us?

If not him then who, worry? Who!?

Ok, so JP was a bad example - I just recall seeing a teaser that had the mosquito in amber in Hammonds cane. It was enough to make me go buy the book, which I read way in advance of the film release.

When I saw Star Wars on Thursday, there was a trailer for the flick with DeCaprio. It went on for ages - it showed some of the characters dying early on, someone left for dead, but surviving, and crawling off for vengeance. And then it showed some of that, too. If I was planning on seeing it I would be majorly pissed as I'd have gone into it knowing which of the introductory characters get killed, by whom, and what happens afterwards.

Showing jokes in the trailer can really take the fun out of a first time watch, as you're pretty much waiting for the line to appear.

bumping, as i think the latest Suicide Squad trailer is an excellent example of a well done trailer - no huge spoilers given away, just brief intro to the characters and some action scenes.

And it works.

Agree. The SS trailer is a great specimen of "not showing too much". Hopefully the rest of the marketing follows that line.

I think we should give DEADPOOL a shoutout too. ALL their marketing has been on point....but the trailers especially seem to focus down on that one bridge/freeway action scene for the most part. I feel that going into it, I won't have seen the majority of the action.

The bridge/freeway action scene was done as a one-off years ago. It initially died in the studio system, but someone leaked it to the comic convention people and it caught fire there. From that, the movie was financed, crewed, cast, and filmed.

So yeah, it makes sense the trailers are going to focus on that one scene (which is quite nice for someone like me who doesn't want the entirety of the movie laid out in the trailer).

We've now had three Suicide Squad trailers and a bunch of marketing and people are getting hyped and yet we still don't know really what's going on or who the main villain is, and while the lines in each trailer are different the action beats are mostly the same and in snippets, so they're not giving away too much of that either. So far it's been a how-to in marketing an action blockbuster.
