Re: The Love Guru Trailer
looks totally silly and borderline stupid. But I thought the same about Austin Powers until I saw it. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to this. on a side note, I don't think Justin Timberlake gets enough credit as an actor.If Lindsey Lohan has a child, and that child will lead...I will follow.

Re: The Love Guru Trailer
This seems like a bunch of Austin Powers outtakes, or a long lost Austin Powers flick. You could edit this trailer with clips from the Austin Powers series and people would think it's a new AP flick.
Maybe I'm crazy, but while this type of thing worked five or ten years ago, I don't think it would work out as well today. I think filmgoers have moved on from Mike Myers to Will Ferrell, and so on. I just think this type of MM movie is old news to many folks at this point.
I could see this one bombing, and bombing huge. Then again, I thought the same thing about freakin' Norbit and it almost brought in $200 million worldwide!
For the record, I think the trailer looks horrible. My favorite parts of the trailer are Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba. That doesn't bode well for me.
Just watch, months from now I'll be posting about how funny I think it is after I watch it.

Re: The Love Guru Trailer
Ya - trailers wear thin on me... I don't know why there are actual "trailer producers" who get paid tons of money to make these horrible trailers. Is it that they only get bad footage to work with in the first place?
I'd rather see a trailer with a huge no dialogue montage and then one funny line at the end... in this case. I want to be surprised. It's been a while since Mike Myers has done anything original...so this character is surprising in of itself.
Does anybody have the Guru script or read it? I am wondering if it's good...
I was happy when I saw Jumper's trailer - but still haven't seen it because of... (ready for this!) word of mouth! So, I guess I'll wait on word of mouth for Guru

Re: The Love Guru Trailer
Saw the trailer.
Can anyone say Austin Powers 0.1?
Seriously, it looks like someone took all the Austin Powers scripts, ran them through a shredder and taped the crap back together"I ask every producer I meet if they need TV specs they say yeah. They all want a 40 inch display that's 1080p and 120Hz. So, I quit my job at the West Hollywood Best Buy."

And we usually get the whole movie. This trailer sucks just because it sucks. There's no real hook to it.
Personally -- speaking of the film itself -- it looks like old hat for Meyers. I don't think Austin Powers really holds up for me over time and this has some of the exact same jokes. But with that said, I used to work for the director and he's a really great guy. Smart and funny. So there is hope for this thing. I'm just happy he got his shot because he truly worked hard for it.

Ele - I knew you were gonna chime in - Don't mean any disrespect, but all the movie trailers look, sound and feel the same. Since you're an expert, why the cookie cutter approach? Can you guys bend the rules and do something different to call attention to the trailer?

I find trailers interesting as I wanted to work in post production for many years, and trained as a compositor using Shake. I also dabbled with video editing and 3D animation.
