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):<\/p>\n

Office Space<\/a><\/i> as a psychothriller:<\/h3>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

Sleepless in Seattle<\/a><\/i> with Meg Ryan as desperate obsessive:<\/h3>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

And my favorite: The Sound of Music<\/a><\/i> as a tense, yep, you guessed it, thriller.<\/h3>\n

The strain of music at the very end totally makes it.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

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): <\/p>\n

The Shining<\/a><\/i> as a feel-good family film.<\/h3>\n

I haven’t seen The Shining<\/i>, 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!<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

And you thought trailers actually gave you a good idea of what to expect from the film! Heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
