The new scenes have also changed to the "blue and orange" color scheme of all modern movies.

I noticed that as well. It's one of those things that once it's pointed out to you, it's impossible to ignore.

I for one noticed that they made the water more blue, but didn't connect it to the "blue and orange" color scheme, despite having read about it again just a couple of days ago.

When Cloverfield first trailer came out, there was a shot where the Statue of Liberty's head was flung into a street. The first version of it appeared to be a rough cut CGI [1], then the second version came out of the trailer and the head was thoroughly improved[2]. I know that there is a need for buzz to be created, but where does the line between changes and false advertising occur. If for some reason I was super p…

I was really bummed when Song 2 by Blur wasn't used at all in Starship Troopers. Lying trailer!

Just recently I rewatched the first 3 Jurassic Park movies and found they aged really well. You never have the feeling that there's to much CGI because they striked an awesome balance between CGI, animatronics and sceneography (especially the first movie, but the other two are still above average imho). On the other hand, many of my friends agree that The Hobbit already looked bad when it came out. The only weird thi…

I thought the first Jurassic Park had little to none CGI, going with animatronics, puppets and on-stage vissual effects. Is there any article to read about where and how CGI was used in that movie?

Wasn't there a Bourne movie trailer that contained a scene or quotation that never occurred in the movies?

Just last night I watched the Tangled trailer with my daughter. A large portion of the trailer never happens in the movie:

My guess is that it was going to be part of the movie but ended up getting cut for editing reasons. (The whole "hair as weapon" bit is probably inconsistent with character for the rest of the movie)

Back in 1991, the trailer for Star Trek VI had a clip of Captain Kirk being shot and vaporized by a phaser [1]. The actual clip of this happening in the movie looks much different [2].

Happens all the time, for lots of different reasons. The first time I noticed it was in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" The trailer had a show where Bob Hoskins was wearing a cartoon pig mask, but it wasn't in the movie. The sequence was cut to improve the pacing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJfateiaasY

Probably. Just like there are movies where their funniest line is only in the trailer.

I'm not familiar with Tangled, but by the time Disney got to Frozen, there was a trailer with Olaf & Sven that is basically a stand-alone scene not in the movie at all (intentionally). It's impressionistic more than trying to represent the film literally.

Very interesting! Thanks!

I didn't notice this in the film because I was too busy fighting back the vomit from motion sickness.

Driving home that night wasn't fun.
