Here is the Red Band Trailer for the horror flick Jennifer’s Body written by Juno’s Diabo Cody and directed Karyn Kusama, starring Megan Fox.

A “serious horror” trailer was released before Bruno, however the film is a lot more of a campy/fun type of horror movie. So the filmmakers have decided to cut their own trailer to reflect the tone they’re going for. Here’s a message from them:

“Fox is putting a trailer of Jennifer’s Body in front of Bruno this Friday. Great right? Only problem is it’s not our trailer. It’s kind of a straight horror preview and while we’re sure it’ll appeal to many of you, we wanted to make sure you guys got to see our cut… Lets call it the ‘filmmaker’s cut’.

We think it captures the comedy and scares of the horror films we grew up on – a kind of nostalgia for when horror films were fun. Can’t wait to show you the whole film… In the meantime, here’s the red band trailer we wanted our fans to see.”

I see a log of movies being marketed poorly and the audiences are not seeing the film they saw in the trailer. (Examples: Inglourious Basterds, Drag me to Hell, The Road).

Shouldn’t the studios market films market their films according to the filmmakers intent rather than giving the audiences a false impression of the film? I’m glad to see Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama taking matters into their own hands.
