Starring: Richard Gere, Debra Winger, David Keith, Lisa Blount , Louis Gossett Jr

We look back at the marketing of one of the most successful movies of the early 80s, despite fierce competition from many fictional films released that year. Were audiences ready for a truly uplifting non-fiction story? And what about that ending?

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) 

Monsters come in many forms. 

An unexpected sequel to the 2008 film Cloverfield, some would argue that the Cloverfield elements were tagged onto a generic “kidnapped girl in cellar” story. However, John Goodman is terrifying as the “captor” and the film is extremely tense. 

The marketing was also remarkable. In addition to the usual posters and trailer the producers set up an elaborate viral treasure hunt style game to suck fans into following clues to find Howard’s bunker where the film takes place.

Music by: Maurice Jarre  

Starring: Kevin Costner (Tom Farrell), Gene Hackman (David Brice), Sean Young (Susan Atwell), Will Patton (Scott Pritchard), alongside an extensive cast  

Strapline(s): Is it a crime of passion, or an act of treason? 

We look at the marketing for this edge of the seat political thriller, including a look at the Lobby Cards and the Photography. And we ask how different things could have turned out had they marketed this as an erotic thriller.

The original Mad Max trilogy was released in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t turn up until 2015. But various aspects of the film pre-production, script and models and props date back to 1997. A film with a fascinating development history. The editing is fast with more cuts per minute than usual in a film, plus interesting changes to the frame rate to boost the excitement levels.

Dredd (2012) 

Director: Pete Travis 

Writers: John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra, Alex Garland (screenplay by) 

Stars: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey 

Taglines: In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.   

Second film about Judge Dredd, a character from UK sci-fi magazine 200AD. The first was released in 1995 and starred Sylvester Stallone. This film is more faithful to the style of the magazine, but whilst it was a great film, it wasn’t a box-office success. We look at how much the poor marketing campaign was to blame.

OPPENHEIMER (2023) 

Director: Christopher Nolan 

Writer: Christopher Nolan 

Starring: Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, with Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a senior member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

We look at the posters, trailers and the website in advance of the release of Oppenheimer. The studio has also released many featurettes almost like advance Blu-Ray extras to discourage people from waiting for the physical and digital media releases.

Casino Royale (2006) 

Director: Martin Campbell 

Writers: Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis 

Stars: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench, Mads Mikkelsen 

Synopsis: After earning 00 status and a licence to kill, secret agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro. 

We look at the marketing of this reboot of the James Bond franchise. Massive changes in style and cinematography, and a much more rugged and physical approach to storytelling. There are product placement campaigns going on from film sponsors but is the campaign strong enough to support the reboot?

THE PRINCESS BRIDE - (Sept. 25, 1987 (US) /March 28, 1988 (UK)) 

Director: Rob Reiner (Spinal Tap 1984, Stand By Me 1986, Misery 1990) 

Starring: Fred Savage (The Grandson), Perter Falk (The Grand Father), Cary Elwes (Westley), Robin Wright (Buttercup), Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya), Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdinck), Wallace Shawn (Vizzini), André the Giant (Fezzik), and Christopher Guest (Count Rugen). 

This film has gained an impressive cult following thanks to its home video release and the relentless enthusiasm of its fans. But the initial marketing for the film, adapted by William Goldman from his 1973 novel, was confusing (especially the trailer) and resulted in box office failure. 

We look at the original marketing efforts and compare those to the regular events, cast reunions, and “live” performances which have kept The Princess Bride amongst the most successful movies of all...

It started with an intriguing hook, In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville Maryland while shooting a documentary... A year later their footage was found. Made more intriguing by a mockumentary and viral pre-release marketing campaign. 

Lost footage film, The Blair Witch Project was the most successful independent film of all time once released in 1999. And it’s pretty scary too!

It’s not too long after they arrive that mysterious doppelgangers appear at the edge of their property, setting everyone on a path to find out what’s happening and why.

THE GAME (1997) 

It is the story of Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) a wealthy investment banker who is given a mysterious gift on his 48th birthday by his wayward brother Conrad (Sean Penn) —participation in a game that "makes your life Fun”. Quickly his controlled life is turned upside down and he becomes unable to distinguish between the game and reality. Hints of a large conspiracy at play. 

Directed by David Fincher: Alien (1992), Seven (1995), Fight Club (1999) Zodiac (2008) The Social Network (2010) Gone Girl (2014) 

The first trailer for the film only featured voices over a movie of a puppet being manipulated by strings. Intriguing.

Taglines: Never has the screen thrust so deeply into the guts of war! The most explosive motion picture in 25 years! 

We review this epic but controversial film which was banned in many countries despite depicting the true picture of corruption in the French military during WWI. The producers knew they were courting controversy but pressed on regardless, giving us one of the finest, if not the grimmest, anti-war films ever made.

Yesterday (2019) 

Everyone in the world has forgotten the Beatles. Everyone except Jack... 

Written by Richard Curtis and directed by Danny Boyle this is NOT a jukebox musical based on Beatles songs it’s a science fiction movie which showcases Beatles music. You’ll be singing along and punching the air and mesmerised by the performances of Himesh Patel, and Lily James in a career best. 

The marketing focused on the music and not the sci-fi elements which might have led people to believe it was indeed a jukebox musical. The posters were striking and

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Stars: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas 

This gothic horror masterpiece set in New Orleans and Paris re-defined the vampire genre and features great performances from Pitt and Cruise along with copious amounts of gore. 

Whilst little information exists about the marketing of the film apart from the trailer and posters, we know that writer Anne Rice objected to Tom Cruise being cast in the role of Lestat. She kicked up a torrent of publicity whilst airing her concerns. 

Once the film came out she admitted Cruise’s performance was excellent and the film...

Director: Chris McKay (Robot Chicken, The Lego Batman Movie) 

Starring: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, JK Simmons, Sam Richardson, Mary Lynn Rajskub 

Music: Lorne Balfe (His Dark Materials, Pennyworth, Mission Impossible Fall Out) 

A stunning time-travel, alien invasion summer action movie released straight onto Amazon Prime. The “White Spike” aliens are well realised and the time-travel plot takes a different approach than you would expect. 

Arguably the marketing campaign failed to make people aware of the movie outside of the US, but some of the PR initiatives were very creative and created much buzz and anticipation.
