Sorcerer (Modern Trailer)

[@spaceodds1985]

Modern trailer? This is a mini masterpiece that marketeers can only dream of putting together.

[@xtraspecialmango]

William Freidkin himself rated this trailer. Congratulations. 😀👍

[@hatersgotohell627]

Wait where?

[@DMEdit]

RIP William Friedkin. You were one of the greats, truly. A few years back, he had tweeted this little fan trailer of mine a few times saying how much he loved it. It still brings a smile to my face knowing that, as well as knowing that I've helped steer at least a few people towards this masterpiece that might not have known it existed otherwise.

You're a legend for that! How cool man!🙌👍

[@princegobi5992]

Wow, if that’s a sign to keep doing what you’re doing idk what is. Praise from the man himself! Cheers.

[@anxioussamurai9017]

Being able to impress Friedkin with anything is incredibly impressive! Most people can only dream of getting a tip of the cap from one of the greats. Well done!

[@sharonwatt788]

Holy shit, I want to watch this right now! Amazing job 👏🏼

[@chrissychaos]

Friedkin is one of my favourite film-makers of all time. Such a cool story, what an awesome experience that must have been! Big fan of your work, so Friedkin's feedback regarding your trailer recut was very well deserved. Keep up the good work man!

[@ericmulkey]

Oh my gods, dude. You have done film fans a great service by making this awesome trailer. My wife wanted me to show her a trailer of Sorceror before she’d watch it with me and I knew the old-school trailer would make the movie seem to cheesy for her. You really did this gem of a movie sweet justice!

[@DMEdit]

Thank you so much! In fact, many of my trailers began life because I would show my girlfriend the (original) trailer and that would just not convince her to watch it. So I truly appreciate this comment more than you know!

[@lizzyobrien2376]

I came here to say the same thing. My friends didn’t want to watch this movie because it was an ‘old movie’. I showed them your trailer and that convinced them otherwise! Truly, truly superb work! Now they’re asking me about other old films like ‘Jaws’ and ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’. XD

[@ericmulkey]

@MySweetAudrina Holy cow, I forgot to show her, but I'm gonna show her as soon as she gets off the phone! What inspired you to make this awesome trailer? Are you a film student or something of the sort? (-:

[@Aviatorproduction]

Dude… this trailer is incredible.

[@MrCarpen7er]

*Sorcerer

[@select_input]

Just wanted to say, this trailer made me watch this movie, and then watch it again with multiple people and it was incredible. Thanks for making this.

[@MrCarpen7er]

Really ?! Lol

[@rickeccles7893]

This trailer is an absolute masterpiece. Only saw the film itself the first time a few days ago and it absolutely blew me away. This trailer makes me just want to rewatch it all over again.

[@algaedrone1833]

Thank you so much! The original, historical trailer was literally indecipherable. No wonder people didn’t see the film, no one knew what the movie was about!

[@EbolaSandwich]

Sorcerer was tipped to become one of the biggest movies of 1977. Sadly, a little sci-fi movie named Star Wars was released about a month before Sorcerer and completely overshadowed it. Plus the original trailer alluded that it may be related to The Exorcist

[@catfishcooler1566]

A forgotten classic that a lot of people have never seen. The movie is about fate and how no amount of struggling will allow you to escape what is (or isn't) coming to you.

[@MrCarpen7er]

Definitely not forgotten at all...

[@doacarnage]

This is actually a remake of “ The wages of fear” but with this new title a lot people expected a supernatural type of movie. This movie is one of my favourites, excellent soundtrack by tangerine dream too. Crossing the bridge and blowing up the huge log are the best scenes.

[@jazcole12]

Friedkin insisted over and over that it's an adaptation of the book Wages Of Fear was based on. Why do people not educate themselves?

[@releasethekraken3603]

One of Tangerine Dream's best Soundtracks. Makes you bite your nails without even seeing the movie.

[@darrylgraham2003]

I saw this film in a theater on the East Coast when it was first released. I have been smitten with it ever since. I couldn't understand how such a masterful work could remain so obscure for so long. Then I realized that it was released the same year as Star Wars. The hub bub about the Lucas film buried everything else then. See it now as it's just as powerful as it was over 40 years ago. (One of the best soundtracks from those days, too.)

[@CarlHH777]

I'd say its not-so-great initial reception played a bigger part in its commercial failure but time has been kind to it.

[@Anon-nv7bp]

same week even. Star Wars is overrated as hell. Haven't seen this one before (or heard of it before today), I'm gonna give it a watch.

[@faschwank]

I saw this in 1977 when I was 17. I didn't see star wars until it was on television in the late 1980's. Not a star wars fan or science fiction for that matter. Didn't care about star wars then and still don't. Maybe if they used a better trailer (Sorcerer), they would have had more interest in this movie.

[@kalament1969]

TANGERINE DREAM did the soundtrack...of course it's excellent!!

[@obscure.reference]

@@Anon-nv7bp star wars is classic stuff, there’s no reason to put it down like that. it’s an entirely different type of movie.

[@luismunoz8935]

TANGERINE DREAM´S MUSIC SOUNDTRACK MAKES THE MOVIE SUPERB AND SET THE ATMOPSPHERE AND TENSION AT AN INCOMPARABLE WAY

[@darrylgraham2003]

Truly fits the movie like a skin. Enhances the movie greatly if you have a good sound system.

[@andragg]

Don't forget that Keith Jarrett's pipe organ music was used throughout the film, sometime being mixed with Tangerine Dream's music.

[@taarna73]

Holy crap! I got goosebumps watching this trailer. Well done.

[@winsomehax]

I've always remembered the premise for this film since I saw it as a kid... but couldn't remember the name until years later and google came along. It really deserves a re-release and this is the kind of trailer that could bring it a new audience.

[@jackiescanlon]

Hell yeah it’s Friedkin’s masterpiece!!

[@SgtFaustWargames]

Goosebumps! Pat yourself on the back. And your didn't even have to resort to "In a world where..."

[@janpuhar9614]

Possibly the best trailer I've seen in my entire life. Genius work here.

[@demacolapoo]

Okay buddy calm down

[@humansymbiote]

LEGIT. made me want to rewatch it right now. great job

[@rickenbackerboy4123]

News of Friedkin's death prompted my wife to ask my favorite film of his. Without a moment's hesitation I replied "Sorcerer". She'd never heard of it, and so I pulled up this trailer, and ... I immediately got chills, seeing these images from years ago when the film was first released. I remember it was the ultimate edge-of-your-seat movie and Vangelis' score was mind-blowing. Definitely my favorite Roy Scheider film. Thank you for posting this incredible trailer. We'll be watching the movie tonight over popcorn and a couple of Mike's Hard Mango 😎

[@ericouellette3076]

Great edit. Movies today compared to masterpieces like these have zero atmosphere. Movies like this transport you right into the screen with the actors.

[@AymanJj_]

plz , don't stop making those trailer. They are a work of art

[@lordskeletor7246]

Such a great and underrated movie.

[@MichaelMcCormackMusic]

This is beautiful. Maybe hook Roy Scheider up again and do trailers for “All That Jazz” and “Blue Thunder.” Great work!

[@jironthunder7519]

2nd for Blue Thunder.. a fav of mine growing up

[@JakesJoy31]

The most underrated classic.

[@OrangeRauy]

Brilliant work! A wonderful tribute that should help lift this underrated masterpiece into the 21st century.

[@duster7469]

The best movie you never saw!

[@quietside3734]

I really dislike modern trailers. They always feel too cheesy and they overdo everything. This, on the other hand, is superb. Well done indeed. I love this film, and this trailer suits it perfectly.

[@trevorrapp7227]

This trailer is awesome!! Great work!!

[@Shadowman4710]

Magnificent film. You did an excellent job with this trailer.

[@pixelotix]

Damn you really captured how exciting this film is. 😎

[@stevejorfi9086]

This movie runs circles around any movie they're putting out now cgi or whatever this is a true classic of the seventies.

[@sotasphere]

This trailer efficiently captures "Sorcerer" for the shorter attention span of today's audiences. Thank you!

[@rhettpeter83]

You brought the brilliance of the medium in the 1970s to present day and the result is a resounding triumph

[@DMEdit]

Thank you this comment means a lot to me!

[@yanwain9454]

this is not a "modern trailer" this is so much better than modern trailers, it should never be called that. a "modern trailer" has the stupid mini trailer before the trailer and then it says "trailer.....starts....NOW" and then they play some unfitting music from the 50s or 60s and proceed to blow every big surprise that the movie might hold.

[@markandremy]

That's hilarious 😂😂

[@danielshishik9594]

This trailer is almost as good as film itself. Congrats.

[@robert3III]

I just discovered this film and I loved it. This trailer is for lack of a better word, is Awesome!!!!

[@greglapointe1311]

Fantastic trailer, makes me want to pop it into the dvd player right now!

[@jala1081]

Music is such a contrast to the older looking visuals. It's cool.

[@robbhahn8897]

Great trailer for a movie that should have gotten more recognition than it did when released.

[@abfabrabcab3506]

This is genius, and does what a trailer should do... make you want to see the film. I've shown your trailer to friends who originally showed no interest in this movie, only for them to go, "Wow!", especially when I add the fact there is *no* CGI in this movie. Great job.

[@DMEdit]

Love this! Exactly why I love sharing these trailers - hearing stories like that makes my day!

[@toonbat]

I distinctly remember back in the late 80s or early 90s reading a Donald Duck comic where he has a job as a truck driver driving a trailer full of nitroglycerine through a terrifying mountain pass, and over a rickety rope bridge, and now I'm wondering if it was inspired by this movie. I tried to see if I could find info about this comic online, but Google completely failed me. Now I'll never know if that comic was inspired by this movie, or this movie inspired by this comic.

[@stewartschuster]

This is SUPERB. A trailer that really exemplifies how great this film really is.

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

This makes the original trailer looks amateur. Awesome job brother! And it looks like you used the blue Ray for your source! I like! ❤️❤️❤️

[@spoonlamp]

Amazing film. And the quality of the bluray genuinely makes it look as crisp and fresh as a new release

[@momcilovujacic2856]

Wow, mate, your trailer is masterpiece also. Love it

[@gergster6899]

They didn't include Tangerine Dream's fantastic music in the trailer!?! WTF!!! The music is indispensible to this great movie!!

[@winterphoenix09]

Yah, I thought the trailer was doing great until the thing ended with ZERO Tangerine dream. The original score is integral to the film. This music sounded generic. Nice editing anyway.

[@keatonereth3016]

You did a fantastic job with this trailer, hard to believe its fan made

[@09hunterboy8]

Great Trailer !

[@madcat4563]

Glad I watched the trailer. The blu ray cover looked so intriguing. Going to get it.

[@shiven513]

The best remake of all time, this is just as good as Wages of Fear.

[@MrHeadbanger366]

This movie is underrated. Maybe it would've done better at the box office with this trailer.

[@JesusBehindtheWheel]

William Friedkin doesn’t miss.

[@MikeUIibarri]

Excellent.

[@EnriqueCardozo]

Great job!

[@efrainocasiojr2965]

Trailer was awesome! But it's not the same without tangerine dream score playing in the background.

[@penknight8532]

This movie would of done better if not for Star Wars. Damn You Luke!

[@SpasticAV]

This is a great cut !

[@Barney0815]

Best Trailer i have ever seen 👌

[@jameskelly5672]

1 of the best films ever.

[@19gastonazo70]

beloved movie.

[@Randolo10]

A Damn Good Movie.

[@wetyuckfella]

first of all, the editing work on this is utterly astonishing. top top work! secondly, what trailer is the music from? I recognise it and it's driving me insane!

[@MrTimoxa55]

О, американцы пересняли французский фильм «Плата за страх» (фр. Le salaire de la peur) 1952 года с Ивом Монтаном! Надо будет глянуть. Оригинал мне понравился.

[@thegrumpyoldgamertgog240]

Wow! Just wow! Thank you!

[@chrissychaos]

So glad to see someone giving attention to these hidden gems! Your modern trailer for Michael Mann's Thief led me to watching it the other day, great film! You really did it justice with the trailer you did for it. Would you ever consider doing a modernised trailer for 'Le Samourai' (1967 French film)?

[@DMEdit]

Love hearing that about my Thief trailer, appreciate your comment! Le Samourai is not one that I've seen actually, but I love getting suggestions for new trailers! Feel free to add any more to my Suggestions Post in the Community tab, easier to keep track of there. Thanks and glad you enjoyed it :)

[@123m83]

AMAZING

[@janofb]

SO much better.

[@Officefreak22]

This music is so familiar what is it from?

[@sidsuresh24]

Cinematic Excellence

[@annoyedok321]

Watched the film because of this trailer. Amazing film, but I wish the truck scenes were longer. It just doesn't have the focus as say a film like "Duel".

[@LightningStrikesOfficial]

Masterpiece Man ! great!

[@afzals2007]

Is this a FanEdit trailer? It's amazing!

[@SquabbleBoxHQ]

You went your whole life thinking this guy lost it after Exorcist, right? Yeah, he could still do a To Live and Die and Killer Joe, but you somehow didn't put them on the same pedestal, right? I do, and Sorcerer just happens to be better than The Exorcist. Some masterpieces get their due long, LONG after their time. I'm just happy Friedkin lived to see it.

[@razvedka9979]

Goodbye Billy ! We love you ❤

[@4x4ManiacBadTimeGarage]

this is cool!

[@markbrown1609]

Quentin Tarantino "probably the best movie I have ever seen".

[@cathleencooks748]

@markbrown1609 Stephen King said it's his all time favorite movie

[@Zacnary]

This movie was playing in some theater in Kyoto, Japan. I had to buy a ticket. Did. NOT. DISSAPOINT! GREAT FILM!

[@thecaricarlitos]

Hi, I'm the Pazuzu demon and I want to congratulate the chef

[@curly_wyn]

Oh fuck yeah, I love this film! So underrated! 🖤

[@brgreg8725]

Love this movie!

[@spunkydunc]

Trailer's fucking dope, great job!

[@thomaswillans4085]

I ❤ WF. But is this essentially a Top Gear special?

[@deathlarsen7502]

Good 70's movie. They messed up the title though. People thought it was a supernatural film which it isn't remotely so it was confusing to the public. People thought it was a movie about a possessed truck especially considering the director of the Exorcist directed it. Dumb studio marketing department. Title has NOTHING to do with the movie.

[@stuartbleazard325]

It does... One of the trucks they drive is called Sorcerer.

[@Billkeys123]

Cool

[@KillerKrossChannel]

Absolutely sick 💯

[@jekw23]

One of the best movies ever in my opinion.....and I don’t know why. Perfect filmmaking. I made the mistake of watching with my girlfriend. Long story short.....she didn’t like it (at all) her loss!

[@arktzen]

this is so good. whoever did this, he must make more trailers

[@margaretwaters7961]

Original Trailors are always Best .

[@askanisathish9717]

Amazing 👏

[@donajoshy8038]

What a movie

[@scottchegg8956]

Is it like a Top Gear Special

[@pspguydgo]

How do you need tangerine dream music?

[@mygumybear]

What software you use for colour grading

[@lbarbados38]

Nicely done!

[@bradlafferty6076]

My mother took me to see this movie when I was nine. I never forgot it. The tension was incredible.

[@ditzyneko637]

yo... what IS THIS? I saw a poster for this movie in a mod for American Truck Simulator as a sleeper decoration. Im go watch it.

[@jskd2953]

And just like a modern trailer, full of spoilers! ;P But seriously, nice trailer and great editing!

[@vrokhlenko]

That truck was grinning at you! What a movie. And now we have flying superheroes and black elves ...

[@katoness]

Fuck Star Wars, this is the shit.
