Trailer #4
Watch the american trailer on IMDB for Jet Lag (i.e trailer 4) and listen to the storyline they give Jet Lag. It hardly follows the storyline of the actual movie!

Ahhh see there you've discovered the secret of american trailers - they never, ever follow the storyline!
This is for two reasons. They are so used to having to cover crap hollywood movies with sexier sounding trailer soundbites that they do it on every movie regardless of feel or type (thus you get that breathy deep voice guy doing every last bloody trailer - i mean change it up!) That cant possibly be a good way to do things, a sort of one size fits all approach.
Secondly and related to number 1 - if you knew the real story line of many movies, you probably wouldn't want to see them. Ever notice how the edits of the scenes in trailers make it look as if scenes and jokes that never occur side by side in the movie are related? Then of course you watch the movie and are pissed off because it's horrible and not what you expected.
The trailer is all movie companies have to get you into the cinema. It's a fact now that a movie has to make its money back in the opening weekend or it probably never will - given the buzz-kill reviews that surface, and people's willingness to wait for the DVD. So the trailer has become the place for hyperbole and downright lying! Once you've paid your money the company could care less - until the next over the top trailer comes out!
