They used him in trailers breh. I guess you were lucky enough to not have seen those.
But also they didn't realize he was in the movie either so you're not alone

That Godzilla trailer was deceiving as fukk once you actually saw the movie. Most of the marketing for that movie was the same way.

The new mission impossible movie pretty much show the whole movie in the opening credits.
They been doing that since 95 tho. It's a staple. I don't remember if they did it in 2 tho. I do know they had doves

It's not a particularly new phenomenon either. I mean, look at the trailer for T2
WHO THE fukk WOULD WATCH THAT MOVIE AND DECIDE TO SPOIL THAT ARNOLD IS THE fukkING GOOD GUY?
HELL YEAH, IF THEY WOULD HAVE CUT THAT shytT OFF RIGHT AFTER SHE WAS LIKE "I NEED TO SEE MY SON HES IN DANGER" THAT shyt WOULD HAVE BEEN GOAT PLOT TWIST FOR AN AUDIENCE.
THEY fukkKED THAT UP.
low key this entire thread is a spoiler
Not really a hard one too get around too. I mean you could just show John in his terminator form while he was fighting Arnold. But yeah Terminator has a history of getting their twist spoiled. Sam Worthington really being a Terminator would have been a nice twist, but any and all suspense is gone, which while it might not hurt the studios bank account is
for the moviegoers who just want to see a good movie.iirc Inception had a good trailer. I didn't know very much beyond " yeah it all happens inside peoples heads"
I thought the directors do the trailersIt's crazy to think that studios outsource their trailers to companies.

Naw. Studios alot of times outsource it to a marketing company like "Trailer Park."
At the end of the day, the movie project always belongs to the studio, not the director...so for marketing, the studio will just hire a company to make a trailer.
It would make sense for the directors to cut the trailer, but often they don't.
Not sure how many directors get to make their own trailers...maybe someone can look it up right quick.
If u Google "Director trashes trailer" you'll get alot of hits

Quarantine is the worst. They literally show the last moment of the movie in the trailer.
Yeah, that was bad, since it was the shot they marketed the most. I think they did the same with the first paranormal activity, they had the guy getting tossed at the camera in every trailer.
Might depend on the clout the director has. like a guy like Christopher Nolan or Scorsese has more control over what's in it than some newbie.
