Super Bowl Trailer For Shutter Island Brings The Yawns
Posted in Trailers on Thursday, February 4th, 2010 by Rob Heath | View Comments
Another Super Bowl, another day of high profile commercials with something to prove. Ah, yes, I do love me some Super Bowl. But not because of the football. I love it for all the cool commercials that come out and movie trailers that might be showing for the first time. But I have to say, I am a little disappointed with this “new” trailer for Shutter Island that is set to air this upcoming Super Bowl Sunday. The trailer is reminiscent of the Avatar trailers where the director’s credientals take up almost as much screen time as the actual movie footage. BOO! The sad thing is that this tactic actually works, so trailer studios will continue to make these time-wasting trailers that do nothing but remind us of movies we have already seen instead of showing us footage from the movie we want to see.
There is a few quick shots of footage we have yet to see in the previous trailers, but nothing to make you change your mind about whether or not you will be seeing the movie.
Check out the trailer in the full post.
Starring the guy who was in TITANIC, ROMEO + JULIET, THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK, and THE BEACH. Was that enough name dropping to sell you guys on the movie? I hope so. Caps lock drains my energy.
