Remixed and Recut Movie Trailers

There's something about the presentation of something that can change its tone entirely. Movie trailers have been trying ever since their conception to create previews of their movies that are an accurate portrayal of not only the plot, but the subject matter and feel of the movie. The reason they do this is to appeal to the different camps of moviegoers out there, such as the horror addicts, the war enthusiasts, and the comedy faithfuls.

But what if you take clips from the very same movie that was initially being advertised and cut it a bit differently? What if you used different scenes from the movie and changed the background music and transitions? With a professional enough touch, you could convince a big Disney fan who's never seen Mary Poppins to never want to see it in their life.



There is a whole slew of such videos on YouTube, and they are highly entertaining whether you've actually seen the movie being parodied or not. Some that I've seen that are worth honorable mention would be the recut trailers for The Shining, Toy Story 2, and even The Office. There are so many more I would recommend, but I think you may find the ones that suit your needs best by just searching for trailer recuts on YouTube. And look! I've made it easier for you!
