How does one find trailer info for movies.
Ie, how many teasers, trailer versions 1,2,3, a,b,c running time, etc.
Say like you are looking for trailer info for "ARMAGEDDEN" where would you find out what trailers were produced for it?

Try going to the website............www.movietrailers.com
There you can find out maybe what you are looking for. Another suggestion would be the film production company (I.E. WarnerBros.com), etc. You can watch these on your computer and time them or whatever. [Big Grin]

Apparently nobody on here knows the answer to that question.
I would hate to think it was other wise.
Thanks William for the info. [thumbsup]

It's a shame there isn't some sort of database for this type of thing. I'm sure studios have records of this though.

The only people that would really know the answer would be working in Ad Pub Department at the time over at Disney.
Because when I was at Warner Ad Publicity during the mid 80's
, we would have tapes of different versions of trailers and TV spots, EPK in the department.
You may have a teaser or two depending on if they had a date movement (coming soon or coming this summer) Then a regular trailer and maybe a trailer if they wanted to re-release later in the season. Maybe an Academy trailer. Thats just for Domestic
release then you will have different international trailers depending on different countries.
Is there any info on the Criterion DVD release of that title.
I will check the copy I have at home later tonight.

No need to as Armagedden was just an example.
