We had an advance by Judas and the Black Messiah on Thursday night, which was a marvel, as getting a new theatrical breakthrough those days is cause for celebration. Warner Bros.’ about the FBI’s attempts to overthrow black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton in the 1960s, stars Daniel Kaluuya as Hampton, Lakeith Stanfield as William O’Neal and Jesse Plemons as the cop who brought O’Neal in combination as an informant. sometime next year. As for the advancement, it’s a dynamic detail of movie marketing, anything that plays very well on an IMAX screen before Tenet’s screenings, and yet another example of Warner Bros. marketing. at their best. It’s an intense travel trailer for a non-mast that, however, sells the film as a used film.
The brief mockery centers on a scene of singles, i.e. Hampton preaching to the proverbially changed and calling revolution as the narrative enters and leaves that central moment to provide context in the moment in time and express the narrative, culminating in a brief “action” before returning to the same key moment, with Kaluuya calling the revolution. I settle for liberation and freedom as Stanfield clappes nervously as Plemons looks at the crowd. It’s a trailer so hard that it’s actually all you want to sell, I’m sure there’ll be a more traditional trailer focused on the plot that will come out someday before the release. If the design looks similar, it’s because it looks a bit like clint Eastwood’s “flash in a bottle” teasers for American Sniper in 2015 and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born in 2018.
The war action led by Clint Eastwood was completely structured around a sequence of singles, in this case, the protagonist of Bradley Cooper debating whether or not to shoot a young man who would attempt to blow up American troops. The highlight of this knife is interspersed with biographical excerpts (marriage, childbirth, injured friends, etc.) that metaphorically show the life of Kris Kyle that led to this ethical dilemma expressed to the draw. Are you taking the picture? Well, you have to watch the movie to locate yourself. Eastwood’s Richard Jewell attempted a similar structure, with an interrogation through FBI agent Jon Ham of Paul Walter Hauser’s Jewell interspersed with excerpts from “the story to this point.” The same goes for Lionsgate’s advance for Peter Berg’s Deepwater Horizon. Neither pressed the same button because there was no suspense or ethical dilemma.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s teaser A Star Is Born, released in June 2018, was so impressive that WB never released another before the film premiered in October. The teaser, which uses two songs (“Maybe It’s Time” and “Shallow”), transforms the film’s first act into an independent feature film, culminating in Jackson Maine inviting Ally to the level to sing one of her own songs, which she enthusiastically hits. out of the park. The wonderful musical moment (“I’m from the deep, look how immersed …!”) It launches a montage of traditional trailer beats in a different way, creating a spoiler-free trailer and giving the impression that this unique moment is “just the beginning” of their romance. The film probably suggests that everything went downhill from there, yet no one said film marketing deserves to be 100 percent truthful.
If there’s anything Warner Bros. makes bigger than any other main studio, it’s by creating trailers the size of a blockbuster hit for non-franchise movies. When it works, the effect is to be able to sell a non-franchise or tent movie as a used movie “to watch safely in theaters”. It was great that they opened Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises for $160 million nationwide in July 2012, and the third preview would possibly be my favorite Batman trailer. But it was even more impressive that they opened Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, a $7 million economic mobility drama starring Channing Tatum as a stripper, at $39 million a month earlier. The same goes for his periodic ability to convert non-franchise films such as A Star Is Born ($434 million), American Sniper ($550 million) and Gravity ($724 million) on genuine occasions.
You can’t imagine that WB, like Universal’s Ted and Fifty Shades of Grey, would want a word. Nor do I say remotely that Judas and the Black Messiah will end up flirting with the Level Numbers Last Samurai ($456 million) or Troy ($490 million). I guess the real-life drama, written through Will Berson and Shaka King, produced through Ryan Coogler and directed through King, is budgeted to a point where Magic Mike’s revenue ($167 million worldwide) would be an absolute good fortune and great success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be an absolute good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ($95 million) would be a good fortune and a huge success between Just Mercy ($50 million) and A Dolphin Tale ( But the firecracker intensity of the trailer, and the power with which it points to basic ethics without revealing almost anything, re-understands to me that no one cuts trailers for film occasions for non-blockbuster movies like Warner Bros. Pictures.
