Japanese Trailer for V FOR VENDETTA is funky cool!
Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I love Japanese Trailers for cool American movies - even if this one is a whole bunch British. I'm talking about V FOR VENDETTA - the upcoming obsessive-compulsive geek rallying cry for cool movie of the year. That isn't to say this is a pure geek film, it is if you know the source material, if you don't - it's just a fucking great movie period. Anyway - there isn't a ton of new footage in this - it's just how it is put together and the funky cool vibe that it all has. I figured for those of you needing a Vendetta fix, this'd be severe undernourishment, but hey, it's something.
The Japanese Trailer for V FOR VENDETTA!

Okay, I'll go see the trailer now.

Well that trailer did nothing for me. What's with the music? Anyone else think it sounded like they'd got some Japanese kid to play The Propellerheads Spybreak badly for the trailer? It just really doesn't fit to me. I much prefer the other 2 trailers that have been released.
-
Wierdo.

that trailer was lame ...

I didn't really like it. With a couple of extra shots and all the trick editing, it took basically just as long to say half of what the first domestic trailer did (and that one didn't really give anything away, before you start on me). It was kind of fascinating to watch though. I don't think I've ever seen a theatrical trailer like that before in my life. Is that kind of editing in trailers common practice over in Japan? Are they trying to appeal to a specific demographic? Who am I asking these questions to?
-
stupid pauses, lame music, too short.
-
But seriously, it is not a great trailer. Luckily there are the other trailers which are better. Looks more like a quick teaser then a full trailer to me.

Why not come up with other cool titles that begin with the words V For... In fact, you can even swap letters and say things like D For..., or even X For... Example, V For Verisimilitude, B For Bryan Adams. Have fun kids!

I've seen better V trailers than this. The one I saw before King Kong was better.

Very strange musical choice indeed. mmm, yes... very strange.

another terrible year of disastrous blockbusters on the horizon. That mask is ridiculous and who's fucking bright idea was it to shave Portman's head. Her pussy, yes. Her head...no.

This is almost as good as Adam Sandlers new trailer for CLICK!

Where he controls life with a universal remore control. Yes folks, wackiness ensues! You can't make this stuff up
-
I can't read japanese so I don't know what all that text said, but judging from the wierd music video editing and the music that sounded like a ripoff of the Properlerheads song from the Matrix's lobby scene, I'm guessing their trying to use the whole "from the people who brought you The Matrix" gimmick for the advert.

Maybe it was the FUCKING SOURCE MATERIAL, indiephantom!
by iamjack'suserid
Wow, you people...wow.
-
What's this about though? I have no idea. It looks political.
-
... Except now with Japanese text slapped all over it. No new footage to speak of... Matter of fact, that had LESS than the original trailer. At least the actual movie is getting praise. Seems like no one knows how to market this one yet.
-
this is a speed up and funky version of the original trailer with a shitload of it cut out. And quite honestly its not cool at all unlike the American ones.
Harry, you really need to start actually looking into this crap. -
This movie better be as ood as the trailers, damnit. www.unseenfilms.com
-
That trailer was absolutely terrible, Harry.
-
It says, "This movie's gonna treat you like a BITCH, bitch! Slap you AROUND, sell you into SLAVERY 'cuz I OWN YOU, roundeye!!"

Some comics shouldn't be made into movies. Dealing with issues ranging from Anarchy to Facism will be lost on the majority of the film going public.

Who is paying to see this shit?
-
Cause of how enthuthiastic the positive reviews have been, but so far none of the teasers or trailers have done anything for me.

Judging from your opinions of the movie thus far you certainly don't know anything about the source material. How's the badwagon jumping going Harry?

Looking forward to the film but that editing was shit.
-
...don't know what the problem is.
-
They're not making the comic into a movie; they're appropriating its name. The message seemed a bit subversive, so it was thought best to leave it out. Hey, dig that electronic drum fill when V shows up, though, huh? He's an ASS-KICKER who's here to KICK YOUR ASS right in the ASSKICK. ...this is gonna be bad...
-
You'd think they would at least have HD trailers or maybe my foreign ignorance is misled by one website.
-
"Appropriating its name"? Not from what's been posted on this site. Sure, this trailer SUCKS ASS (and anyone who says otherwise has no fucking taste) but I mean, you could make a trailer for Taxi Driver or The Godfather or something that also made it look like this one makes V look. I'm optimistic about the movie, and one bad trailer doesn't change that - trailers are pure marketing and often don't have anything to do with the movie in question. Look at how they marketed THE SIXTH SENSE with fucking heavy-metal-backed TV ads. Or KONG with Coldplay. Or, you know. I think the message's gonna be there, and the reviews that've appeared here certainly corroborate that view.
-
All those bitches you just mentioned are point in fact taken directly from the book this was based on. It's called V for Vendetta. Read it. It's good. You may have to elongate your attention span to get it though. I wish you good luck.
-
Look dude. I have never....EVER seen a positive post from you about any trailer or coming soon material posted to this site in the last 6 or 7 years I've been coming here. You seem like an intelligent guy, you can't be this jaded. Seriously, get over the fact that Batman Begins didnt suck and pull your head outta where the sun don't shine.
You seem like you need all the sunshine you can get. -

..."a whole bunch British"? Christ Almighty.
-
erm....no.
-
Nasty-ass twangly techno soundtrack; stodgy editing, flat message, attempts to edit out any Britishness; doesn't hold a candle to the first and second.
-
but on teh plus side they don't have too many money shots and never give too much away, so the actual movie viewing might seem better... but y'know... doesn't sell it too well... but if it's working for the Japanese, what me worry?

i'm really REALLY looking forward to this film. can't wait! bring it now! also: can't wait to hear the controversy it stirs up... should be fun!

Bullettime music for what should be dark romance music, otherwise Portman shaved=youza gonna come!

I apoologize for the backhanded compliment. I retract it.
And I also apologize for the use of the word "dude" in your direction. It will never happen again. May all of your rubber costumes be infested with nipples you miserable git. -
*****I know this script will work!
-
The 2nd trailer was amazing. Really got the blood pumping. But that Japanese one is...ucckkkkkkk. It's like bad dubbing, just excrutiating.

by fluffyunbound
After all, you're obsessed with a [weak] comic book character, and a DC universe comic book character at that. You're so obsessed with your [weak] [DC universe] comic book character that you deride people for not taking that [weak] [DC universe] comic book character seriously enough. If we're going to talk about Generations, all I know is that when I was a kid reading DC was like reading Archie comics or something - strictly a Greatest Generation thing. I thought all you guys started dying right around the time they ruined the Washington mall by giving you that eyesore of a monument?
