If you haven’t seen these yet, do yourself a favor and hop on over to the Shining trailer that imagines the classic Kubrick movie were a happy, feel-good, family film. Then watch that little Titanic flick turn into Japanese horror. (If ye ask me, Titanic was always a horror movie).
Shining
Titanic
On a serious note, it goes to show how easy it is to misrepresent (or mis-market) a film. How many people went to see the Mexican to see Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt together…only to find they were apart for all but 5 minutes of the movie?
Peace out.
