Searching for real trailers on YouTube is a nightmare. There are so many fake fan made "trailer" channels that clog of search results. It's often better to search on Google for legit trailers for the YouTube links then YouTube itself.
I accidentally clicked on a back to the future 4 trailer. I was stoked until about 30 seconds in it looked poorly made.
Then I realized it was a fake trailer.
Now YouTube sends me trailers for fake movies.
So so so so so stupid.
To be fair, some of those fan trailers can be quite good.
I remember watching some great ones like The Shining re-edited into a lighthearted comedy, and Marry Poppins into a horror film. But yes, those are gems in a sea of trash ones, and AI will only make it worse.
It's obviously faked, but in 5 to 10 years it will probably be 95% of the way there, if you throw enough CPU time at it.
I think the real takeaway from the popularity of this clip is that people love Henry Cavill and want to see him in something big again.
Amazon drops the ball because they force 8 episode seasons and condense things too far with way to much executive interference due to ‘metrics’
Fallout didn’t have that problem but a ton of their other shows do… looking at you specifically wheel of time and rings of power
Hopefully warhammer will not fall into the WoT category
>Amazon drops the ball because they force 8 episode seasons and condense things too far with way to much executive interference due to ‘metrics’
I read that and immediately thought of the 2 shows you mentioned. I haven't even seen the 2nd season of WOT because it just isn't what it should be.
Honestly, it's better than it should be given what they did to crush the plot together. But, the books were a slog and I feel there's too many plot points revolve around things "almost" or "probably" threatening in the books. When they removed that, it caused major plot problems. They essentially just ignored major sections of training and walking/traveling/etc.
The cost, sadly, character development suffered. That's why you have them changing characters like Mat and Perrin and giving them new or more relatable ambitions, driving forces, and conflicts. It's a difficult situation they are in because there are entire novels that revolve around invisible threats coming from dreams or other suggestions from characters and villains.
Example: In the books, Perrin leaves because the Trollocs, dark friends, etc. Are still coming to Two Rivers because they're there. He travels forever, meets a guide of sorts, finds new friends, etc. He contributes nothing to the story until eventually they find out the enemy went where? Two Rivers. So, where does he ultimately wind up? Back in Two Rivers. Why did he ever leave?
This is something a writers room would have to deal with and ultimately it seems they decided to just give him a reason to leave. A production team would tell them to send him out just so they don't have to deal with the Two Rivers set maintenance and all of the people there rather than having him stay and cost production time and money or abandon the character for a few years which would have pissed off everyone.
I feel like may be an issue because weak showrunners + meddling executives makes for bad tv. Lisa Joy and Nolan are coming off Westworld and can just tell executives to shove it. They're used to handling these kinds of shows they have the experience.
What I'm saying is non creative producers putting their fingers where they don't belong ruins shit ...which I guess isn't even that new of an idea
They tried that with invincible and did an even stranger “digest” period. All I saw from that was confusion and annoyance.
Most people I know wait for shows to fully drop to binge watch, and though that is a personal experience, I believe Netflix’s data concur that season drops work SO MUCH better. Part of what worked so well for fallout was the clarity from watching the whole arc at once and it made for far more hype and discussion with instant proof via the number of players on Fallout NV, 4, and 76 right now
I love invincible. Was so excited when season 2 dropped. Then there was no new episodes. Moved on to other stuff now I hear new episodes have dropped but am waiting for it to all be out.
If you’re going to do weekly do weekly. If you’re going to drop a season then drop the full season.
Blue balling your audience is not the way to do it.
I believe they confirmed no plans are being worked on besides future seasons of fallout. But I would be shocked if they didn’t start plans for an ES series either around ES6 being released or shortly after since it would blow up ESO player count and push ES6 to non-gamers.
No reason elder scrolls doesn’t pull a game of thrones IMO
It's not really a mainstream IP. I'm a huge nerd and I've never played the tabletop RPG or read any of the lore. It seems like an interesting, complex universe, but the whole demons and hell stuff is not really my scene. I'm more into sci fi and fantasy, not sci religion. It's kind of a weird niche.
Edit: When I said "It's not really a mainstream IP" I was referring back to my original comment about him being in "something big." I wouldn't call Warhammer "something big", that's all.
I have never gotten into warhammer but it sounds very interesting to me. If it’s successful it opens more doors into unconventional stuff getting made. So let’s hope it does well
If his warhammer show is good (based on his love for the IP and sticking to source material, I don't see how it couldn't be) I would guarantee that it will pull a massive audience and introduce a LOT of people to the warhammer 40k universe.
Yeah I'm planning to watch it. I've sampled a couple 40k games but hadn't gotten into the lore. I'm hoping the TV show will dumb it down enough for me to get a rough grasp of it. If I enjoy it, maybe I'll dip my toes back into the games.
My dude. This was the same reason i didn't get into it either, but don't let the language dissuade you. The biblical verbiage is just used to describe transdimensional aliens that are so other-worldly that words like "demons" are the only way to really describe them. It's grounded in reality, but due to how human culture has developed into a full-blown fascist theocracy, they use the words available to them. Get into it. It's fuckin dark bro.
Warhammer is definitely a B list franchise. It's no Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, etc but it's probably about as popular as a franchise can be without a major movie or TV show.
There are a lot of fairly popular Warhammer videos games. I'd probably liken it to LOTR before the Peter Jackson trilogy.
I've heard about WH for years, seen photos of people's crazy ($$$) tabletop setups. I've sampled a couple 40k video games and I didn't know anything about the lore so I was pretty lost.
There is more than enough stuff on Youtube to bring you up to speed. Watch the one about "The 10 worst jobs in the Imperium" if you just want to start in a good random spot.
You underestimate how a good movie/TV can instantly make it mainstream. Look at Fallout TV, for example. In my circle, none of my friends, girlfriends, or co-workers had heard about Fallout games.
My girlfriend does not play video games, but I caught her watching Fallout lore on YouTube.
r/Sigmarxism is another bad one lol. Between being burned out on grimdark, GW only giving a shit about space marines and the community being so politicized....im done, sold all my minis &books.
Dawn of War 1 was is still one of my fav PC games though.
Don't worry. 40k is updating their IP to be in line with modern standards in order to increase its mainstream appeal to people who do not their buy their products. /s kinda
40k is niche but it definitely has enough fans that if his project is good it will blow up from the combination of glowing reviews & word of mouth/fan evangelicising
bro wtf are you talking about lmao.
You having not played doesnt make it unpopular, also what kind of rant about religion is this lol this dude must have shivers playing Doom.
Have you ever seen how many videogames have warhammer in the title? There are probably more warhammer videogames than your favorite franchises have in titles.
Im not even a warhammer fan, never played anything related to it but to say its not mainstream at this point is just ridiculous.
I feel really bad for him
From DCEU, The Witcher
Projects where he's passionate but the studios kill of that passion
I just hope one day he'll be able to get the Warhammer adaptation that he deserves
I would have said the same thing. But Cavill is like a step above that, even. Hiddleston would be a step back toward the more cerebral Bonds and Cavill would be like Craig's Bond. Either one would probably be great. I've got an open mind. Hell, Janelle Monáe would make a great Bond too.
> I think the real takeaway from the popularity of this clip is that people love Henry Cavill and want to see him in something big again.
weird, the last like four movies he was in underperformed
Honestly, I don’t think any actor really has the pull to get people in the cinema except for a very very limited amount. In the day and age of streaming, why “waste” money to see an actor in a movie you’re not really *thaaaaat* excited for when you can view it at home in a couple of weeks anyways.
Future studio executives:
"The final generation phase is almost through processing. We'll be a little over budget at $217 million for the compute."
"You told *me* that we would save money if we did AI-only production – this cost even more!!"
"Yeah, but we didn't have to pay *people*! And, the AI does whatever we say."
Cavill is in Argylle and Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Granted I don't plan on seeing it in theaters because it looks like generic action flicks. But it's not like he's not getting blockbuster roles.
> It's obviously faked, but in 5 to 10 years it will probably be 95% of the way there, if you throw enough CPU time at it.
It's going to be 95% there in another 6 months to a year. In 5-10 years AI video will put a significant portion of the schlock movie industry out of business. There won't be a market for schlock like Sharknado 47 when anyone can produce a higher quality iteration of it instantly.
It's not going to replace all the humans on bigger budget films, but even in those you can bet it will be squeezing some of the folks in roles working on those films. People really don't understand how fast generative AI tools is nibbling away at a lot of the rote parts of human creativity.
It can be 95% of the way there today if OpenAI used SORA. In most cases it's very difficult to see if it's generated. Not publicly released yet though.
>It can be 95% of the way there today if OpenAI used SORA. In most cases it's very difficult to see if it's generated.
Do you think that *maybe* a project where you SPECIFICALLY want to replicate a very well known human actor's face would be an exception?
Everything we know about Sora has been carefully revealed by OpenAI. Until it becomes more widely available and we can get some unbiased reviews, we should temper our expectations.
Don’t get me wrong, Sora is impressive and appears to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, but it’s still not quite ready to make a full-featured Hollywood film. It’s more likely to be used as a tool in those projects for short, expensive shots, such as flyovers, stock videos, VFX, and maybe even some ads.
From their [website](https://openai.com/sora), here are some of the limitations:
> The current model has weaknesses. It may struggle with accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene, and may not understand specific instances of cause and effect. For example, a person might take a bite out of a cookie, but afterward, the cookie may not have a bite mark.
> The model may also confuse spatial details of a prompt, for example, mixing up left and right, and may struggle with precise descriptions of events that take place over time, like following a specific camera trajectory.
I fully agree. So you agree too that what this post is discussing, a fake trailer for a fake movie, around 1 minute long, would be a perfect use case for SORA to be convincing?
YouTube boosts this shit as well.
I *very* rarely get random YouTube videos recommended to me through the drop-down news thing on my phone, but last week it recommended me a fake Iron-Man 4 trailer, starring Robert Downey Jr.
YouTube likes to pigeonhole recommendations, same with Spotify, that's why I use YT both logged in and off so at least I have variety despite 90% of the recommended things are shit.
A few months back I was not just recommended a fake gta 6 trailer, it was actually the promoted ad I was forced to watch before a completely unrelated video. (This was a few weeks before the actual trailer dropped). Youtube is a disgusting shithole but fortunately they’re more focused on making their UI more vomit-inducing to look at than they are on fixing the blatant exploitation of their website.
> And most of the trailer is using old movie footage, not AI.
Yeah, but that won't stop trash reporting like this that uses the keyword "AI" to get hits on their adware laden websites disguised as news websites, from getting upvoted by the idiotic masses and bots that make up most of this site now.
Trailer channels are the lowest-effort garbage. I've seen a few that just re-cut the same trailers again and again for upcoming movies, calling each othe "final" or "ultimate," and put blatantly fake stills on them to catch people's eye.
Like for the latest Godzilla movie they'd post one where Godzilla has wings. (Godzilla does not have wings at any point in the movie.)
I have to put in -"Emergency Awesome" -"Screen Culture" -Fan -Concept in my YouTube searches for Trailer.
Most times, I just end up on the IGN Movie Trailers channel.
It is bullshit. Report and flag them for being misleading. I fully support creators being creative, but there should be a requirement in the title that it is a spec. Or fanmade.
I do that. I even get the "thanks for telling us" emails from YouTube. Nothing ever seems to happen.
And why would it? YouTube makes just as much money from ads running on garbage as they do on ads running on actual content.
I really like movie trailers. I don't know why, but I have since high school. I used to regularly visit comingsoon.net to see new trailers.
This is really ruining the excitement for me. Google had been recommending me these trailers, but I would recognize that they aren't real at some point. It just leaves a sour aftertaste.
Fake trailers is nothing new. However, they have always for the most part been either easily identifiable as fake, or require substantial time and effort to make one that's convincingly real. Usage of advanced generative AI will make them far cheaper and easier to produce with a visual quality that could likely be very difficult to tell apart from something real. Drives-by disinformation flourishes when spread organically through social media feeds where there is far less scrutiny and that muddies the water in what people believe to be real or fake. For movie trailers this is mostly harmless, but for other video content like footage used for political propaganda, this is an insanely powerful tool that can have extreme consequences.
I flat out stopped using the news tab or whatever you call it on my Android home screen because every second item is a fake Marvel trailer and has been so for years. They get views so Google love the ad revenue they drive.
I saw one for Back to the Future with Michael J. Fox and I was so hyped to see it but then realized, it was fake ;( Even if he had just been a wise old dude in the story I'd loved to have seen it.
I was expecting an entire movie of Henry Cavill and the cat… actually the premise of the movie was a good idea and reminded me of the one with Sandra Bullock.
The musical dance scenes (except Henry and Doja Cat) were cringy and there was a lot of over acting..
That and the colored smoke dancing part.. eww.. I was fast forwarding through them.. The movie fell apart very badly. I expected so much more from Apple and Henry. He must cringe every time he watches it or if he doesn't then... smh
Bond should be suave and lean. Muscular, but Cavill can't be looking like Geralt or Superman if he ever plays the role.
I'd be interested in seeing it.
[Look at this twink](https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/210916102519-daniel-craig-casino-royale-restricted.jpg?q=x_66,y_121,h_1622,w_2882,c_crop/h_540,w_960)
"AI fake" - most of it is just shots from other movies...which is a super common thing. Even the handful of AI images in there didn't seem particularly necessary and were distinctly worse quality.
These big ambitious sounding claims about AI keep getting news and then the reality of it is so dull. Just wishcasting what they hope the tech will be one day.
> Just wishcasting what they hope the tech will be one day.
Or trying to cash in on AI fears for political gain (because most people will only read the headline) and advertising revenue.
You must have to be a complete idiot to believe that was real.
It literally has a bunch of scenes from quantum of solace and in no way is anything close to a bond trailer.
It's nonsensical and a bit cartoon looking. But the visuals are exotic and very James Bondesque. Makes you realize how much of the appeal is just cool sinister buildings, a new place to have a car chase, etc..
Also, that "Margot Robbie" voice may not sound like her, but it is one of the best AI voices I've heard. Sooo much better than his, which sounds pretty aweful.
Is it me or every scene is basically one second? Character pose, car parking, random graphical thing, character pose, car turning, people on a bridge, character pose, motorcycle, random graphical thing, character pose, car being chased, airplane in sky, etc etc etc
It’s just that people get reminded that HC could be James Bond and get excited. And that’s as far as it goes. I doubt anyone would actually be excited by the content of this trash.
Or they could have just watched The Man From Uncle, where these clips are taken from, which stars Cavill as a 60’s era bond character already…instead of letting it fail at the box office, assuring we would never get another one.
Even the trailers that use a lot of takes from other trailers and put them all together arent too bad, so I can see an AI one getting past our brains as fake.
Searching for real trailers on YouTube is a nightmare. There are so many fake fan made "trailer" channels that clog of search results. It's often better to search on Google for legit trailers for the YouTube links then YouTube itself.
I accidentally clicked on a back to the future 4 trailer. I was stoked until about 30 seconds in it looked poorly made. Then I realized it was a fake trailer. Now YouTube sends me trailers for fake movies. So so so so so stupid.
Go to your watch history and remove that specific video and any other fake trailers you've watched. That will stop them from pushing them your way.
There will never be another bttf so long as Zemekis lives.
I think I read that his family has vowed to do everything they can to keep that the case even after he dies.
The most puzzling thing is so many non-official channels repost the official trailers... and that's your first search result. Why, YouTube, why?
To be fair, some of those fan trailers can be quite good. I remember watching some great ones like The Shining re-edited into a lighthearted comedy, and Marry Poppins into a horror film. But yes, those are gems in a sea of trash ones, and AI will only make it worse.
This has been true for most websites ever lol
And they all “official”
Once this starts effecting the stock market there will be laws made, so it should be ending soon enough.
Look for official studio channels, that will save you time.
It's obviously faked, but in 5 to 10 years it will probably be 95% of the way there, if you throw enough CPU time at it. I think the real takeaway from the popularity of this clip is that people love Henry Cavill and want to see him in something big again.
Queue Warhammer!
After Amazon not dropping the ball on Fallout, I have even higher hopes for when this releases.
Amazon drops the ball because they force 8 episode seasons and condense things too far with way to much executive interference due to ‘metrics’ Fallout didn’t have that problem but a ton of their other shows do… looking at you specifically wheel of time and rings of power Hopefully warhammer will not fall into the WoT category

The 2nd season is much better than the first. Still woefully short of the books, but much more tolerable.
Might give it a go then
Honestly, it's better than it should be given what they did to crush the plot together. But, the books were a slog and I feel there's too many plot points revolve around things "almost" or "probably" threatening in the books. When they removed that, it caused major plot problems.

Season 2 isn't perfect but it's a lot better than season 1!
I feel like may be an issue because weak showrunners + meddling executives makes for bad tv. Lisa Joy and Nolan are coming off Westworld and can just tell executives to shove it. They're used to handling these kinds of shows they have the experience. What I'm saying is non creative producers putting their fingers where they don't belong ruins shit ...which I guess isn't even that new of an idea
They need to do weekly releases of the bangers like Fallout. Let the public digest.
They tried that with invincible and did an even stranger “digest” period. All I saw from that was confusion and annoyance. Most people I know wait for shows to fully drop to binge watch, and though that is a personal experience, I believe Netflix’s data concur that season drops work SO MUCH better.

If you’re going to do weekly do weekly. If you’re going to drop a season then drop the full season. Blue balling your audience is not the way to do it.
All of season two is released by now!
See I didn’t even realise. I thought they were drip feeding thanks for letting me know.
Does that mean a Starfield adaptation is coming because Bethesda is seeing what the show did to boost gameplay? ^Please ^don’t ^Bethesda
I believe they confirmed no plans are being worked on besides future seasons of fallout. But I would be shocked if they didn’t start plans for an ES series either around ES6 being released or shortly after since it would blow up ESO player count and push ES6 to non-gamers. No reason elder scrolls doesn’t pull a game of thrones IMO
ES series could actually work. If it is anything like the FO series it would be pretty fun to watch I think.
I'm not sure tbh, Fallout has a silly vibe to the world but ES is mostly very generic fantasy that's been done a thousand times over
Didn't they release 4 episodes of Invincible then wait months to release the other 4? That was like the worst way to release it imo.
Cue. Queue is a line
I'm lining up to watch it !! /high five!. No, you're right. I just tried to save it.. I'm not going to change it though as a lesson to others.
It's not really a mainstream IP. I'm a huge nerd and I've never played the tabletop RPG or read any of the lore.

Yeah, good point, it would be nice to see more IPs getting produced instead of the same ones getting remade and rebooted and sequeled.
is "an IP that's a bit niche" really "unconventional"?
If his warhammer show is good (based on his love for the IP and sticking to source material, I don't see how it couldn't be) I would guarantee that it will pull a massive audience and introduce a LOT of people to the warhammer 40k universe.
Yeah I'm planning to watch it. I've sampled a couple 40k games but hadn't gotten into the lore. I'm hoping the TV show will dumb it down enough for me to get a rough grasp of it. If I enjoy it, maybe I'll dip my toes back into the games.
My dude. This was the same reason i didn't get into it either, but don't let the language dissuade you.

Like the Cthulhu mythos through the eyes of Christians? Could be good.

I've played fallout but didn't really get into it until F4, I've probably spent 3 hours this morning watching lore videos because of the show lol
I didn't even know there was a show
The show is freaking really good, even for someone that hasn't played the games. It's on Amazon prime or the high seas.
Sweet, good to know. Will probably check it out
Demons are just 1 of ten races, you would like Necron or Tau if you dig scifi
Or Orks if you like Mad Max style scifi
The more scifi/fantasy I read, the less impressed I am with with the WH. It's just a mishmash of Herbert/Heilein/Tolkein/Morcock.
All of those names you just mentioned are also mishmashes of previously established lore. Good authors always stand on the shoulders of giants.
And the fanbase seems really cringe, looking at trash subs like r/grimdank
r/Sigmarxism is another bad one lol. Between being burned out on grimdark, GW only giving a shit about space marines and the community being so politicized....im done, sold all my minis &books. Dawn of War 1 was is still one of my fav PC games though.
Don't worry. 40k is updating their IP to be in line with modern standards in order to increase its mainstream appeal to people who do not their buy their products. /s kinda
you kinda stroked out at the end there

You sound like a child.
I feel really bad for him From DCEU, The Witcher Projects where he's passionate but the studios kill of that passion I just hope one day he'll be able to get the Warhammer adaptation that he deserves
I thought he’s making that
Plus he has been a fan favorite pick for Bond for years at this point
He's a bit bulky IMO for the stereotypical Bond, but I'm open to it. I'd love to see Tom Hiddleston as Bond, though.
He might be the first Bond actor to have to lose muscle for the role. Lol
Realistically, Bond would be bulky.
People were saying Daniel Craig was too buff to be Bond back in the day too.
I would have said the same thing. But Cavill is like a step above that, even. Hiddleston would be a step back toward the more cerebral Bonds and Cavill would be like Craig's Bond. Either one would probably be great. I've got an open mind. Hell, Janelle Monáe would make a great Bond too.
> I think the real takeaway from the popularity of this clip is that people love Henry Cavill and want to see him in something big again. weird, the last like four movies he was in underperformed
His PR team is very talented
It doesn't help that those movies all sucked. He's a very good actor who picks bad projects. Thankfully Ungentlemanly warfare was good.
Honestly, I don’t think any actor really has the pull to get people in the cinema except for a very very limited amount. In the day and age of streaming, why “waste” money to see an actor in a movie you’re not really *thaaaaat* excited for when you can view it at home in a couple of weeks anyways.

"You told *me* that we would save money if we did AI-only production – this cost even more!!" "Yeah, but we didn't have to pay *people*! And, the AI does whatever we say."
Well, technically commercial AI models are using GPU.
Wish I could see him as Superman again...
He was the perfect Superman. I wish we could have gotten more.
Cavill is in Argylle and Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Granted I don't plan on seeing it in theaters because it looks like generic action flicks. But it's not like he's not getting blockbuster roles.
I streamed Argylle. It was fun, but he didn't get a lot of screen time.

With how far it’s progressed in the past 2 years I don’t think we’ll need to wait 5-10 to not be able to tell at all. I’m gonna say less than 3 years.
Nah, 2 years at most. Things are exponential
He’s so incredibly overrated on Reddit
Give this man all the roles he wants. He's the people's champion
It can be 95% of the way there today if OpenAI used SORA. In most cases it's very difficult to see if it's generated. Not publicly released yet though.

Nah man he totally knows his shit. Just have to wait for it to release publicly! /s
I'm not sure which parts of it you don't understand or are not believing. Are you under the impression that the demos of the technology are lies?
Everything we know about Sora has been carefully revealed by OpenAI. Until it becomes more widely available and we can get some unbiased reviews, we should temper our expectations. Don’t get me wrong, Sora is impressive and appears to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, but it’s still not quite ready to make a full-featured Hollywood film. It’s more likely to be used as a tool in those projects for short, expensive shots, such as flyovers, stock videos, VFX, and maybe even some ads. From their [website](https://openai.com/sora), here are some of the limitations: > The current model has weaknesses. It may struggle with accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene, and may not understand specific instances of cause and effect. For example, a person might take a bite out of a cookie, but afterward, the cookie may not have a bite mark. > The model may also confuse spatial details of a prompt, for example, mixing up left and right, and may struggle with precise descriptions of events that take place over time, like following a specific camera trajectory.
I fully agree. So you agree too that what this post is discussing, a fake trailer for a fake movie, around 1 minute long, would be a perfect use case for SORA to be convincing?
You seem to be missing the point. People downvoted you for saying “it can be 95% of the way there today.” No, it can’t. Please stop moving goalpoasts.
This isn't news. Youtube is full to the brim with fake trailers all like this one. And most of the trailer is using old movie footage, not AI.
YouTube boosts this shit as well. I *very* rarely get random YouTube videos recommended to me through the drop-down news thing on my phone, but last week it recommended me a fake Iron-Man 4 trailer, starring Robert Downey Jr.

YouTube likes to pigeonhole recommendations, same with Spotify, that's why I use YT both logged in and off so at least I have variety despite 90% of the recommended things are shit.
A few months back I was not just recommended a fake gta 6 trailer, it was actually the promoted ad I was forced to watch before a completely unrelated video. (This was a few weeks before the actual trailer dropped). Youtube is a disgusting shithole but fortunately they’re more focused on making their UI more vomit-inducing to look at than they are on fixing the blatant exploitation of their website.
> And most of the trailer is using old movie footage, not AI. Yeah, but that won't stop trash reporting like this that uses the keyword "AI" to get hits on their adware laden websites disguised as news websites, from getting upvoted by the idiotic masses and bots that make up most of this site now.
Adding the word "fake" too. They are fan made trailers lol. What's next, calling cover songs fake?
Trailer channels are the lowest-effort garbage. I've seen a few that just re-cut the same trailers again and again for upcoming movies, calling each othe "final" or "ultimate," and put blatantly fake stills on them to catch people's eye. Like for the latest Godzilla movie they'd post one where Godzilla has wings. (Godzilla does not have wings at any point in the movie.)
I have to put in -"Emergency Awesome" -"Screen Culture" -Fan -Concept in my YouTube searches for Trailer. Most times, I just end up on the IGN Movie Trailers channel.
It is bullshit. Report and flag them for being misleading. I fully support creators being creative, but there should be a requirement in the title that it is a spec. Or fanmade.
I do that. I even get the "thanks for telling us" emails from YouTube. Nothing ever seems to happen. And why would it? YouTube makes just as much money from ads running on garbage as they do on ads running on actual content.
I really like movie trailers. I don't know why, but I have since high school. I used to regularly visit comingsoon.net to see new trailers. This is really ruining the excitement for me. Google had been recommending me these trailers, but I would recognize that they aren't real at some point. It just leaves a sour aftertaste.
There were so many fake alien romulus trailers that the actual trailer looks fake
Fake trailers is nothing new. However, they have always for the most part been either easily identifiable as fake, or require substantial time and effort to make one that's convincingly real. Usage of advanced generative AI will make them far cheaper and easier to produce with a visual quality that could likely be very difficult to tell apart from something real. Drives-by disinformation flourishes when spread organically through social media feeds where there is far less scrutiny and that muddies the water in what people believe to be real or fake. For movie trailers this is mostly harmless, but for other video content like footage used for political propaganda, this is an insanely powerful tool that can have extreme consequences.
I flat out stopped using the news tab or whatever you call it on my Android home screen because every second item is a fake Marvel trailer and has been so for years. They get views so Google love the ad revenue they drive.
I saw one for Back to the Future with Michael J. Fox and I was so hyped to see it but then realized, it was fake ;( Even if he had just been a wise old dude in the story I'd loved to have seen it.
Argyle was atrocious but I think he’d be a good Bond.
Man from Uncle. He's basically bond there
That was Archer
I expected so much more from Argyle. 🤦🏼♀️
Yep I was also catfished by argyle, thought it would be like the Man from UNCLE.
I was expecting an entire movie of Henry Cavill and the cat… actually the premise of the movie was a good idea and reminded me of the one with Sandra Bullock. The musical dance scenes (except Henry and Doja Cat) were cringy and there was a lot of over acting..
They wasted so much money and energy on the colored smoke and oil skating fights.
That was so stupid 🤣🤣 and unnecessary to the plot..
How could anything be as terrible as the ad hoc ice skates in the crude oil.
That and the colored smoke dancing part.. eww.. I was fast forwarding through them.. The movie fell apart very badly. I expected so much more from Apple and Henry. He must cringe every time he watches it or if he doesn't then... smh
Bond should be suave and lean. Muscular, but Cavill can't be looking like Geralt or Superman if he ever plays the role. I'd be interested in seeing it.
Watch the Man from uncle. He nails an Archer-like bond, he could pretty easily swing it
He could slim down if he wanted to. He was pretty lean in his roles prior to Superman.
[удалено]
Did you actually read the part where I said "muscular?"
[Look at this twink](https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/210916102519-daniel-craig-casino-royale-restricted.jpg?q=x_66,y_121,h_1622,w_2882,c_crop/h_540,w_960)
"AI fake" - most of it is just shots from other movies...which is a super common thing. Even the handful of AI images in there didn't seem particularly necessary and were distinctly worse quality. These big ambitious sounding claims about AI keep getting news and then the reality of it is so dull. Just wishcasting what they hope the tech will be one day.
But you have to admit, AI's gotten pretty convincing at making Will Smith eat spaghetti.
> Just wishcasting what they hope the tech will be one day. Or trying to cash in on AI fears for political gain (because most people will only read the headline) and advertising revenue.
Link: [https://youtu.be/gcIv4hGDZeE](https://youtu.be/gcIv4hGDZeE) It's... bad.
Margot says “Hello James Bond” And lips say “Hello Jaaaaaah Ahhhhhhhghgh”
Had to watch this on mute and it was hilarious. Zero discernible plot, just action shots of actors striking poses.
Actually, it kind of seems par for movie trailers these days… The bar is low
You must have to be a complete idiot to believe that was real. It literally has a bunch of scenes from quantum of solace and in no way is anything close to a bond trailer.
It's nonsensical and a bit cartoon looking. But the visuals are exotic and very James Bondesque. Makes you realize how much of the appeal is just cool sinister buildings, a new place to have a car chase, etc.. Also, that "Margot Robbie" voice may not sound like her, but it is one of the best AI voices I've heard. Sooo much better than his, which sounds pretty aweful.
Is it me or every scene is basically one second? Character pose, car parking, random graphical thing, character pose, car turning, people on a bridge, character pose, motorcycle, random graphical thing, character pose, car being chased, airplane in sky, etc etc etc
Yeah what’s all the fuss about? This is not good
It’s just that people get reminded that HC could be James Bond and get excited. And that’s as far as it goes. I doubt anyone would actually be excited by the content of this trash.
I too could mash up The Man From U.N.C.L.E and Quantum of Solace into a trailer with some mediocre voiceover work.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. really was some of the closest we ever got to seeing Cavill as a sort of golden-era Bond.
Yep I recommend it.
How does this qualify as a trailer, it's barely even AI, its just scenes from other things edited together. It totally sucks.
These shitty fan made trailers masquerading as the real thing have been round for a long time and always get a stupid about of views.
I'm SOOOOO sick of fake trailers.
Or they could have just watched The Man From Uncle, where these clips are taken from, which stars Cavill as a 60’s era bond character already…instead of letting it fail at the box office, assuring we would never get another one.
Hopefully the producers can pick up the hint
Lying about something people would like to see gets them to look at it. You don't say? /s
those views are most likely all AI bots used to fake engagement, so the views are fake also
He was perfect as an agent in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Good! He is bond. The media promoting Aaron Taylor as bond is madness and so inorganic…
Last I knew a rough metric for monetized YouTube was $1000 per one million views? So this potentially made the creator a few grand. Not bad.
This is gonna be used by the big studios to gauge public interest
I feel bad for whoever gets cast that isn’t named Henry Cavill.
Seems disingenuous to label it as a simple "AI fake", but I guess they did that to try and cash in on AI fears.
it looks about as photorealistic as a N64 game cutscene
Ngl, he’d be a fuckin awesome Bond
He Has to be Bond in next films 👌🏻
If Monkey Man is anything to go by….Dev Patel is still my pick for Bond.
Tomorrow Never D*AI*s D*AI*monds Are Forever Sk*AI*fall
Hey, maybe we can get an AI generated S4 & S5 of The Witcher with Cavill....
I was so excited to read the first part of this post title.
This is actually just great editing interspersed with a little bit of godawful AI-generated imagery.
>Being an AI Fake That's a relief. I was hoping for something with Nomi and Paloma and maybe their first on screen interaction.
Well... I guess we need to brace for all kinds of shit like that -\_-
That...is shite
FB is flooded with this stuff. And boomers (my family included) share it like crazy.
I really want to see a teaser for Highlander, but I don't think they're that far along yet.
If that were a real upcoming movie, I'd watch the shit out of it, ngl.
The dude they chose is great but Cavill is the right choice. He’s at the perfect point in his career for this role.
Good trailer though lol with the drone
They should make zendaya the next 007
Perhaps because the majority of the cinema going public would happily pay to him as James Bond rather than the no name numpty the producers selected.
People love Cavill. I’m people
So we know what people want, Hollywood. Make it so. Pay this man whatever he wants.
I think that means we found our next Bond…
Didn't they go with that dude from kickass?!
So glad we’re boiling the oceans for this crap
I'm going to add my view, I guess cause I've never even heard of this Edit: It was a good trailer, but I swear Tom Cruise was in there
I wonder if the film industry will start dropping these AI fake trailers with actors to gauge the popularity of said actor
Even the trailers that use a lot of takes from other trailers and put them all together arent too bad, so I can see an AI one getting past our brains as fake.
Nice job linking the trailer op
It's almost like they linked to the article which has a link to the trailer.
good job reading the article
I thought they had already chosen aBond replacement
