Recutting movie trailers seems to be all the rage these days. Here’s a few of my current favorites (I’m not really choosing all the ones that take comedies and romances and turn them into thrillers and horror films…that what most everyone is making):
Office Space as a psychothriller:
Sleepless in Seattle with Meg Ryan as desperate obsessive:
And my favorite: The Sound of Music as a tense, yep, you guessed it, thriller.
The strain of music at the very end totally makes it.
Just to reverse the trend, here’s the one that I think started it all (at least, it was the first recut trailer to make the blogosphere rounds that I saw):
The Shining as a feel-good family film.
I haven’t seen The Shining, so I don’t really get as much out of this one as the other three, but I know it’s a horror film, and you definitely don’t get that from this trailer!
And you thought trailers actually gave you a good idea of what to expect from the film! Heh.
