I know, I know; trailer-mashups, recut-trailers, retrailers or whatever you want to call them were hip and happening about three years ago, but I don't think there's any wrong in rediscovering something as hilarious as these movie trailer makeovers. It's amazing what a little (or in some cases, a lot of) editing can do to a particular story. By taking scenes out of context and reconstructing them in a totally different manner, you can make a horrorfilm look like a romantic comedy, or an Uwe Boll film like something actually worth watching.
I believe the whole trailer-recutting really took off somewhere in 2005, when an editor named Robert Ryang cut a new trailer for Stanley Kubricks horror-masterpiece THE SHINING, making it look like a lighthearted father/son-bonding drama. Pure brilliance.
That clip became an overnight internet phenomenon and led to a whole slew of creative trailer-recutting. Take this retrailer for JAWS, for example. What do you get when two men desperately fall in love with a giant man-eating shark? Well, this apparently:
Now, from the makers of MUST LOVE JAWS comes the most hilarious recut-trailer to date. Here's 10 Things I Hate About Commandments:
