I guess everybody wants to be attached to Star Wars this weekend.

Makes sense from a marketing perspective

Good grief, there are going to be like 30 minutes of trailers attached.

That's generally not the way it works for trailers. The studio or production company will hire a trailer house and sometimes, even a specific editor.

They hire a music supervisor, who then tries to secure the rights to a specific song or songs, along with trailer music from one of the production libraries, which the editor will cut in. Often times, there are five or six distinct pieces of music for one trailer.

But whoever cut this trailer - yeesh. No feel whatsoever.

(I meant whoever was acting as producer for the house who put together the trailer. I know it's completely unrelated to the movie's production...)

The editor generally has free reign.

It's also extremely lucrative, even reality TV. Really big bucks and they're always in demand.

I dunno, I didn't mind "STID" and this trailer doesn't bother me either. It is what it is. I like the character reboots and how the new actors are portraying them. This trailer was clearly cut to push the F&TF angle and the connection with the director.

I bet they'll repair the Enterprise in the end, like they did in Into Darkness. I think you see it crashed on a planet, ****ed up but semi-intact, at 0:30.

They do over-rely on blowing up the ship to raise stakes, but from a continuity nerd point of view I wish they had stuck to the plan of blowing up the Enterprise in the beginning of Trek 09. Basically it was going to be a newly launched TOS Enterprise instead of the Kelvin. Which would have explained why Kirk seemed to have some attachment to the Enterprise, and why it looks completely different to how it did in the original universe.

One thing, I do think the uniforms look better. I never liked the superhero costume texture they used in the previous two movies.

So the movie is one long away mission resulting from a catastrophe that disables/destroys the ship. The away mission takes place in a retro-futuristic semi-anarchistic dystopian society/setting. I see Star Fleet unis on people in the background. So I'm assuming that Kirk bonds with a hot goth-hippy chick while performing a scout mission, Spock and Bones attempt to take over the established society and free the crew/society, and Scotty makes cameos doing weird stuff to move the plot past technical issues.

Totally agree. I spent the entire trailer trying to figure out WTF is going on and wondering why everyone is jumping...

Worst trailer released this week...

Ugh.

Thanks for filling me in.

+1

This too.

Awesome-another Star Trek movie, another Star Wars, another Superman, another Alien, another Captain America.. and they remade Tarzan as well.

Might as well remake Ground Hog day too-because that is what it is like going to the movies- same movies again and again.

Groundhog Day was already remade with Tom Cruise.

It's called Edge of Tomorrow.

Yeah, but that movie was awesome so it gets a pass.

Mainly because watching Cruise die over and over and over and over and over was more fun than any plot involved.
