Warrior- The Greatest Movie Trailer in the World
How do you make the world’s greatest movie trailer?
Ultimate fighters: If you are looking to take your movie trailer to the next level, I highly recommend adding Ultimate Fighters. It does not matter if they can’t act, look borderline mentally challenged, and it’s completely unbelievable that they could teach someone physics; they are awesome. In fact all of those things just mean the audience will spend the entire trailer trying to decide if it was a joke or not! #airofmystery!
Current events: Years from now, when we show Warrior to our children, it will be not just because it is entertaining and has ultimate fights, but because it will hold up as an amazing document of our lives in the year 2011. There was a war going on. People had issues with their mortgages. Cameron from House was super young. Ultimate Fighters walked like gods among men, and EVERYONE wore TapOut clothing.
Family drama: A good movie trailer should have liberal doses of family drama. Don’t be scared to throw in a husband and wife screaming cliches at each other. How about a dad, who was never there for his son but wants to train him to fight now? How about that dad is played by Nick Nolte? And how about the TWIST…
Crazy twists: The two men fighting… ARE BROTHERS. In this trailer, not only do you pretty much get to watch the entire movie in 2 minutes and 31 seconds, you also get the big twist revealed- the brothers have to fight each other at the climax. I am not sure I would call that “impossible,” but it should ensure the movie is filled with plenty of tension.
I could go on and on about what makes this trailer so awesome. Music that lets you KNOW something inspirational is happening, amazing lines like “I used to be one of those animals,” scenes of people training to fight and running by train tracks and hobo-style trash can fires and stuff (which are always awesome). Since I saw this in the trailer I have probably watched it about 15 times. It is the the greatest movie trailer I have ever seen this last week and when Warrior opens, I plan to be there, in my finest TapouT wifebeater to celebrate.
