What movie had a really good non spoiler marketing campaign? - eviltoast

Went to a movie theater and saw a trailer for a movie where I was interested in the first 30 seconds of it, but the trailer then showed what looked like something probably from the last 10 minutes and spoiled the entire movie, so lost all interest.

So what movies come to mind as having done really good, where it makes you interested and gives you an idea of the movie, but doesn’t ruin any big reveals?

      I about spit up my drink going through that trailer.

      So for Gary Oldman is this role tge equivalent of like Kirk Lazarus playing Lincoln Osiris? Or Tugg Speedman playing Simple Jack? Because I just can’t decide.

      I watched the whole trailer thinking this was a parody for a movie that didn’t actually exist. I thought maybe it was a fun treat for Tropic Thunder.

      Kate Beckinsale agreed to star in the film for scale if she would be allowed to wear her “lucky hat” during filming, and Bright agreed.[1] On her first day of filming, the producers demanded that Bright tell her to remove the hat, and Bright refused, as this was the only reason she was in the film for a low salary. Arguments between Bright and producers persisted during filming.[1]

      but more importantly:

      Matthew Bright conceived the film when he was 18, as “a raucous comedy about little people fucking each other”.[1]

      the wiki for this movie is wild
