It can be tough for thrillers / suspense films where it's best when everything is a surprise, but I have no idea how you market something based on: "Trust us, it's really good but we can't tell you anything about it."
Infinity War did some interesting advertising where they changed scenes intentionally so you couldn't follow the timeline in the actual film. They "lied" in the trailers, but I think it worked out for the best.
- always_good 8y agoThe Alien franchise has some good marketing material that both interested me without knowing what the movies were about: - The original trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVY_lonKf4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVY_lonKf4 - David's intro from Weyland Corp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7E7Qp-s-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7E7Qp-s-8 I know it's kind of a lame time to rant on this subject. Obviously trailers are popular despite how I feel. For example, I'm probably the only person in the theater that closes my eyes and plugs my ears for previews that look any good (not just thrillers), so I certainly don't think your project is a bad idea.
