theatremouse March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 The ad for Sacha Baron Cohen's latest movie breathlessly proclaims it "better than Borat!" Really? In that case it might even be better than Gigli and Battlefield Earth too!The marketing for this movie is SO BIZARRE. I mean, I'm fairly certain I won't like it (and it appears to have tanked) but every TV ad I saw for it was really hitting hard the Sascha Baron Cohen angle. IT'S HIM. THIS IS A SPY MOVIE WITH ONE OF HIS GOOFY CHARACTERS, OKAY? and the ad just coasts on making it look that stupid. But then I went to the movies and saw the full trailer in the theater and it seemed like a totally different flick. Now, I'm no stranger to the notion that you re-edit a trailer and can make anything seem like a totally different movie, but like, doesn't the distributor have a sort of party line they're trying to use so people know what they're getting? Or trick people into thinking they're getting whatever will sell better even if that's not what it is? Because what I saw in the theater made this just seem like a straight up action flick, and some goofy moments of silly comedy to break the tension, and PS SBC is playing one of the brothers. The TV ad makes it seem sort of Borat Plays Spy. The in-cinema trailer makes it seems more like "Kingsmen but about brothers and namedrop is in it too if that does anything for ya."

janie jones March 15, 2016 Share March 15, 2016 I know nothing about this movie whatsoever, but I wonder if one ad is meant to appeal to Sacha Baron Cohen fans and the other is meant to appeal to action fans. Which isn't exactly that strange. They'll make an ad that showcases the kids in a movie and show it during Saturday morning cartoons (or whatever kids are watching these days) and then one that showcases the adults and show it in the evening, and you'd never know it was the same movie, other than the title. Were you seeing an action movie when you saw the trailer? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2897-in-a-world-movie-and-tv-show-trailers/page/6/#findComment-2053003
theatremouse March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 Well, yes, and I'm not unfamiliar with the concept, but usually at least in the past where I've seen the two versions there is some sort of overlap. Sure they'll be edited to emphasize different angles, but I've never before had the experience where you almost could've convinced me it was an entirely different film from one ad to the next. I do think one ad is meant to appeal to Sacha Baron Cohen fans and the other is meant to appeal to action fans.is exactly what they were doing. One version completely played up the SBC aspect (and pretty much only that) and the other almost seemed to be trying to glaze over it, and they suggested completely different tones for the movie. I guess what I mean is it was the degree that threw me off, not the notion that they'd do such a thing.
