Film Trailer Deception EXPOSED: How to Spot the Lies | Invosstigation #1

[@J.O.R.D]

Stones being removed from Thanos’s gauntlet is imo one of the best examples of trailer trickery being used for the right reasons, it added so much to the hype and made us speculate even more as to how many stones he would retrieve in the movie, it didn’t take anything away and was a clever use of lying

[@william42721]

I agree

[@zachtaylor9724]

Exactly. The flip side to this would be like The Flash trailer showing us all this Michael Keaton Batman footage, only to reveal his role has been cut from the movie entirely after the movie comes out. Like that’s the only reason I’m going bruh 😂

[@INFILTR8US]

Now if only they would put all that cleverness of trailer editing into producing a decent script

[@santiagoverdugo6972]

Also the scene with Hulk running in Wakanda is not a deleted scene. Its purpose was to hide the conflict Hulk goes through and was never meant to be in the movie.

[@krisdenson1950]

Yes!

Congratulations Erik and TDD team on this official launch day! 🥳

[@gmjjjones]

Would love an invosstigation on the nature and history of post-credit scenes. So excited for the new channel! Congrats on the launch!

[@lees8359]

Marvel invented post credit scenes and other followed suit, simple as that.

[@johngaltline9933]

@@lees8359 I'm no film expert and would love to see a proper history of the post credit scene. Marvel most certainly didn't invent the idea. I can recall it used in 1999's Austin Powers 2, and even the quickest of google searches shows the concept goes back to at least 1966.

This type of nerdy behind-the-curtain technical explanation of the construction of film trailers is just the type of content I crave. Well done, Erik and New Rockstars!

[@DamnTheManInc]

If the court case costs them anything, I don’t think it will lead to a different style of trailer. I think what it will lead to is a disclaimer on EVERY trailer we see (whether it does or not) that it may contain elements deleted or altered from the final film. And when that message is on every trailer we see, we won’t pay attention to it anymore. They’ve covered their ass, and we get the same trailers.

[@megauxvasse6797]

This is going to be incredible! Thank you all for bringing so much fun and positivity into the nerd space,even in the criticisms that you give. Its been so refreshing to see.I can't wait to see more!

This was the best way to wake up today! I clicked on this video not even realizing it was the deep dive. I was genuinely interested in the content. This channel is about to make me a very happy man

[@babygroot8023]

Erik Ive been watching your breakdowns on new rockstars for a minute man and I just wanna say that’s it’s great to see you branch off into your own channel whilst keeping the same creativity and energy, keep it up man.

[@DracoBlack58]

The first video I ever watched from you was your breakdown of season 7 episode 1 of The Walking Dead, ever since then I’ve been watching every video New Rockstars has uploaded and now I cannot wait to watch the videos you make on this channel! Thank you for all the years of amazing insights into the passion we all share

[@boristolokonnikov5172]

I really hope that this lawsuit wouldn't have the backlash of having 100% precise trailers, because I love not being spoiled some major plot points

[@rmvdhaak]

Simple solution: don't watch trailers.

[@fakecubed]

If the lawsuit does succeed, I could see the result being something like: if there's a suitably famous actor featured prominently in the trailer, they need to be in the actual film in some significant way, or else it's deceptive advertising. So perhaps trailers don't include cameo actors in them anymore.

[@Chimichanga1090]

I actually love this video, Erik you've hit the nail here. Can't wait to see more content on this channel. No pressure

[@catfdljws]

Some times the teaser is just a nearly-completed scene (Finding Nemo) that is mostly the same but likely trimmed for film-pacing later. Other times, Disney/Pixar have basically released a complete mini-scene that actually the whole sequence isn't in the film at all. In Frozen 2, they had that whole Sven and Olaf fighting over the carrot-nose on ice (itself inspired by an indy animated short, but lets not go into that right now), of which only one tiny bit (Sven spitting the carrot-nose back on Olaf) was used in the film. The entire teaser was just these two characters, mostly silent, that had nothing to do with the plot at all.

[@braydengraves4655]

The trailer was for Frozen 1, not 2.

[@idanlewenhoff2295]

first of all congrats on the new channel, looking forward to what comes here next. it is a very interesting subject that you also briefly covered on new rockstars. i think what bothers me the most is using the trailer to market the movie as something he is not, not the tone or the theme of it at all. and a lot of the times the marketing i used wrongly against us the consumers to go watch movies with our own expectations and than just avoid them altogether. i think studios will find a way to keep doing what they're doing a lot of the times, using probably a carefully put warning or some other bs to justify accentually fraud. also another issue of course is shoving people trailers down their throats especially in the the theatre itself and some people don't even want to know anything about it..

[@KrivitskyM]

That was a very thorough and extensive research, I'm stunned! Good job Erik! The main takeaway from me is it is unreasonable to expect a movie to remain set in stone during its making. Here is an example. In 1976, Sidney Lumet directed "Network". That movie had an acclaimed screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky who wrote the script under the condition that it would translate to movie without changing so much as a single word. Even though the movie crew tried their best to fulfill the requirement, the lead actor Peter Finch messed up one of his lines while filming a very demanding scene. This take could not be reshot due to the strain of the actor and, as such, we remember the iconic line "I am as mad as hell, and I won't take it anymore" (which was "I am mad as hell" in the script).

[@spentheplug]

[@pameladixon9861]

[@lukekersten3421]

[@DLTyrus]

Interesting breakdown. I tend to avoid trailers for potential spoilers and - lately - to avoid seeing things that don't end up in the movie and can feel disappointing. Spiderman's scene with the cops not being in Far From Home was a good example, it seemed like a really fun action scene. At essence, I don't mind trailers containing "fake" footage, because it's definitely better than trailers that completely spoil the plot. I also don't mind the idea of watching the trailer being a part of the film watching experience, and getting to see small snippets of what characters do outside of the eventually tightened movie script. That can be awkward for watching films years after release, when you're not going to even be aware of the trailers, though. But by far the biggest problem is when trailers don't match the tone of the final movie. Whether that's because of a change in direction after early trailers or because of intentional dishonesty, nothing feels worse than going to see a movie expecting one experience and getting another. To keep using the MCU examples: Age of Ultron is an awesome movie but it gets a lot of flak because it's early trailers showed a really dark, ominous, and interesting tone that was almost entirely lacking from the movie. It sounds like, from what I've heard, the recent Ant-man Quantumania film suffers a similar problem. The original teaser got me really excited for that film, and it sounds like it's kind of a goofy mess instead of the dark tone the teaser conveyed.

[@prion42]

The Mel Gibson film Payback was portrayed as a comedy in the trailer but it really wasn't all that funny.

[@brittanyh1066]

This is so fun! Already loving the Deep Dive channel. I'd enjoy an "invosstigation" into film spoilers! It seems to have increased in recent years, or at least spoilers have a further reach now. We get apoiled these days wirhout even seeking it! How are the studios responding, how is it changing the film going experience, etc?

Loved that “invosstigation” - that’s not going away any time soon! This sort of deep dive into aspects of movie making is great. Would love to see you dig into the history of other common action movie tropes like the “that’ll come in useful later” moment. You know, “Hey, Ripley, while we’re flying through space to the infested planet why don’t you have a play around on that cargo loader exo-suit!” Or maybe the Wilhelm scream through history? Or… or… or…

Oof that dig at Quantumania near the end! I wondered whether you would bring up that recent case, and you did not disappoint! This was good! IF you're taking suggestions, here's a topic: Spoilers, Hype and collective viewing experience. New and exciting plot details always hype us, but where's the line that declares it spoiler. You can use A Song of Ice and Fire and it's Alternate Universe adaptation Game of Thrones (Yea, that's how I cope). That show is how a lot of Reaction channels began (bringing in the third part of my suggestion). Appreciate all the breakdowns you and NR team does! and wish you luck with this side channel, and future Invosstigations!

About 7 mins in I realized that this about to be my favorite channel ever that’s not a joke

[@mikesemus9773]

This happens a lot more lately because studios are "scrap-booking" their movies in the edit phase. Trailers released 2+ months in advance are merely "best guess" for what will be in the final movie because the studios are so incompetent they have lost the ability to actually film and edit the original story during filming. When they have no vision for the end product at the filming stage they are forced to try and mash something together in editing.

I LOVE THIS! Put this straight on the courtroom floor as evidence. Lol But also, I think I'm okay with the deception personally. I let my tattoo artists expand upon the theme I give them. As long as it is good and ultimately what I asked for, then it's a huge win! I think you kind of hit at the end of the video though. Adding an actor/actress who isn't in the movie would be the only questionable issue, maybe it's best to stick with hiding stuff instead of showing too much.

[@JozannaHanawalt487]

Here’s an idea for a future topic: VFX in movies. Basically, why do some shots in trailers look unfinished/completely different from the final film, some films have solid VFX while others look rushed/incomplete, the process and time it takes to go into making them what they are, the history of mistreatment of visual effects artists in the film industry and the way these things can be addressed or changed to improve things for the better.
