This is how to do a movie trailer: The Shining

I really wish Hollywood filmmakers could get the concept of simplicity in their heads when it comes to putting together their trailers. Robert Zemeckis especially (because, no, not every person who goes to the movies wants to know the whole plot of your movie before we pay to get in).



I mean, that trailer tells you who is in the movie, who directed it, and then gives you a spooky flavor of what you are going to see without wrecking the plot for you at all. I totally respect this trailer.
