- As we've previously noted, the Social Network trailer is great, but at least the past couple of times I've seen it, I've noticed that it's been just slightly recut, I'm guessing in response to MPAA concerns, to remove a shot at 2:05 that Linda Holmes was surprised made it past the censors.
- Devil certainly has a stylish trailer, with the Panic Room-esque letters hanging in air, and a high-concept premise (five people are stuck in an elevator, and one of them is, unbeknownst to the others, the Devil) that would seem to sell itself, but when "a new nightmare from the mind of M. Night Shyamalan" has come on screen, it's been greeted by some audible derision--perhaps that could be edited out.
- Yes, Zach Galifianakis is quite funny in the Due Date trailer, but doesn't it need to sell the concept of the story to at least some degree, like why they are going to LA together?
