Imagining a Modern Trailer for “The Empire Strikes Back”

Cameron Arrigioni has made a fan trailer for The Empire Strikes Back, attempting to create what a modern trailer for the 1980 movie might look like today. The trailer emphasizes the epic scale of the classic Star Wars movie, incorporating key scenes and music from the first Star Trek film directed by J.J. Abrams. Check it out.

If you wish to compare this “modern” concept of the trailer to the real theatrical trailer for The Empire Strikes Back, check out the theatrical trailer below.

Either way, I still think The Empire Strikes Back is the highlight of the Star Wars franchise.

Do you prefer modern trailers, which often include spoilers, over older trailers? Leave your two cents in the comments.

    “That, My Lad, Was a Dragon” in the New Hobbit Trailer

    Director Peter Jackson has released the first teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which is the second of The Hobbit series following The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In the new film, Martin Freeman again plays the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Check out the trailer.

    Benedict Cumberbatch, fresh off his turn in Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) as well as his work in the TV series Sherlock, plays the dragon Smaug (created through motion capture), although we do not yet hear his voice in this trailer. And yes, that elf is Legolas (Orlando Bloom) from The Lord of the Rings trilogy making his debut in the Hobbit films. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will appear in theaters starting on December 13, 2013.
