When was the last time a movie trailer didn't give too much away?
I just saw a trailer for The Orphan, and it may have set a new record. It doesn't appear to give us Esther's secret, just everything else.
I remember the same thing with the trailer for The Strangers. It actually gave away the final scene of the movie, along with the reason the couple was being tormented.
By the way, one of best trailers with respect to red herrings was for What Lies Beneath.
Or so I remember. In trying to find the trailer, I ran across this trailer, which gives everything away. Also, in the wikipedia entry, there a blurb about Robert Zemeckis telling Roger Ebert that audiences want to know everything about a movie.
No thanks. Minimal info and maximum suspense please.
