Movie Trailers may have started out as a tool to sell films, but over time they have evolved into their own spectacle. Before a film is released there are a multitude of Theatrical Trailers, TV Spots, Web Shorts, and even Trailers before the Trailer starts. How did Hollywood turn from a simple marketing tool, to a an ever expansive industry of movie trailers that mostly give away the entire plot of the film? How did Hollywood crush the Movie Trailer?
That’s a good idea.
I’m often looking for something to watch though, so I do watch trailers sometimes. If it’s something I want to see I try to only watch like, the first 1/3 of the trailer.
