After seeing and very much enjoying Furiosa , I couldn’t help but notice a “if I had a nickel for each time” trend for trailers: lines that sound better in the trailer, cut specifically for that rhythm and tone, than in the finished movie. Here it is Dementus’ “Where are you going, so full of hope? There is no hope!”
Before that, in the original Oppenheimer trailer it was… well it was every line pretty much, but especially “they won’t understand it, until they’ve used it”, which is mixed in such a radically different way from the film that it feels bizarre to look at, but delivers more of a punch in the trailer.
