Download Trailers 1 and 2 for The Creator (2023)

The Creator (2023) © 20th Century Studios.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) is my favorite of all the Star Wars films produced by Disney, so I am really interested in seeing what director Gareth Edwards has in store in The Creator (2023). One thing that is immediately evident is the aspect ratio used for the film as it is presented in 2.76:1 “Ultra Panavision”. The last film to be shown theatrically in 2.76:1 was Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight (2015) and famously Ben-Hur (1959). Interesting to note that Gareth Edwards actually shot Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) in 2.76:1 but it was cropped to 2.39:1 in post production.

The Creator (2023) certainly has a Star Wars / Rogue One / Terminator feel and I am officially excited to see this film next month. I added the first and second trailers to the site. The first is from a 4K source, presented in 3840×1392 with the official 5.1 audio. The second trailer is only available as HD at the moment with a 1920×696 picture size. In case you are wondering, the image above was taken from the 10 bit 444 HD encode of Trailer 2.

More to come next week.

Dune: Part 2 (2023) in the IMAX aspect ratio

I really wanted to call this post the super fantastic Dune: Part Two (2023) trailer update because it gets a bit confusing. Here is what we have:

I added Trailer 2, which is a shorter version of Trailer 1. It is presented in 4K 3840×1608 with 5.1 audio. It may be considered a teaser for Trailer 1. I also added Trailer 3, which is also a shorter version of Trailer 1, but longer than trailer 2. Trailer 3 is also 4K 3840×1608 with 5.1 audio. Next is trailer 4, which is commonly referred to as trailer 2. This is the second full trailer, and differs from trailers 1, 2 and 3. Finally, I added the domestic online trailer 3, which I am calling the online IMAX trailer 4 as it is a longer version of trailer 4 (full trailer 2) and is in the IMAX 1.90:1 aspect ratio. Unfortunately this is only available with a stereo track at the moment.

I still have trailers 5 and 6, which I think are shorter versions of trailer 4 (full trailer 2) to add. They will be coming shortly. You can head over to the Dune: Part Two (2023) page to get all of these trailers.

Also, if you are interested, my encodes of Dune (2021) trailers are here. You may also find some in the user uploaded trailers at the following links:

Dune: Part Two (2023)

Happy Thursday! I am still working on the second trailer for Dune: Part Two (2023) and I am having a slight issue with it. I was going to post them both at the same time, but I thought it would be better to get Trailer 1 out while I did the finishing touches on Trailer 2.

For Trailer 1 we have a widescreen 4K version and a 1080p IMAX version with a 1.90:1 aspect ratio – although I kept the black bars to have a 1920×1080 image size on the IMAX one. Both have the official 5.1 audio. The second one I have a widescreen 4K version with 5.1 audio, but the IMAX version is about 30 seconds longer and only available in stereo at the moment. I will continue to search for a 5.1 mix while I work on the encodes. I should have them up in the next few days.

Head over to the Dune: Part Two (2023) page to get Trailer 1.

The Meg 2: The Trench (2023)

There is nothing like going to the beach on a nice summer day. The sea breeze, fancy drinks, ladies in bikinis, action, horror and Jason Statham! That’s right, Jason Statham returns as deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor in The Meg 2: The Trench (2023), also known as Meg 2: The Trench, the sequel to The Meg (2018). I added the usual 4K encodes with the official 5.1 audio. You can find them all the page for The Meg 2: The Trench (2023).

Last week, I also added trailer 2 for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) but I did not publicize it due to fears or if being mistaken for an illegal copy of the film being so close to the release date. But if you are looking for it, you can find it at that link. I did not have a 4K source, so it is 1080p only.

More to come.

Download Trailer 3 for Oppenheimer (2023)

Oppenheimer (2023)

I just updated the Oppenheimer (2023)page with the third (and likely final) trailer. Like the first trailer, this one is in the 2.2:1 aspect ratio, but unlike the first trailer it is also available in 4K!

I recently heard that the IMAX window for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023) has been reduced in favor of Oppenheimer, and Tom Cruise is not too pleased. I think it is great that we have film makers who are producing content that is meant to be seen on the biggest screen possible. But it is a shame that they have to compete for the same limited space.

In other news, I hear that Disney has moved out their entire release schedule and added a new Star Wars film. According to Variety, Avatar 5 will not arrive until December 19, 2031. Yeah, you read that right. The next two Avengers films have been pushed out a year having Avengers: The Kang Dynasty set for May 1, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.

I am planning to get the second trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) up in the coming days.

Download Trailer 2 for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023)

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023)I am still here. I have just been unusually busy with my day job, but things are starting to get back to normal. I have a few items to update you on.

As you may recall, this site used to have a collection of Dolby® trailers. Back in January/February the site was taken offline due to a cease and desist order from Dolby® claiming a trademark violation. As a result, all of these trailers, along with DTS®, IMAX® and THX® trailers were removed from the site. Please do not ask me for any of these as I will not share them with you. This seems to correspond to roughly a 10% reduction in page views. That is not so bad, but it also seems to have corresponded to a 70% reduction in ad revenue. It seems a bit weird, but perhaps traffic from more ad revenue generating regions were looking for those demo trailers. But overall, it looks like the region with the biggest drop was India – which is on the very low end of the ad market.

This is all to say that this site – and many others – rely on ad revenue to fund their operation. If you use an ad blocker, please whitelist this site and any others that you enjoy.

You may have noticed that the trailers for the Super Mario Bros.® movie, along with posts and references have been removed. This is because of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notification that Universal sent Google Ad Sense. Getting a DMCA notice is nothing new, and I have counter claimed those successfully in the past. The issue was always related to the trailer being mistaken for a download of the actual movie. And those takedown notifications were always focused on search results, or the actual files themselves. This DMCA was directed to the Ad serving, which allowed the content to remain, but no ads to be served. This is hugely concerning. If this is they way that the copyright holders move forward, then there will be no ad revenue and likely no website unless another model can be worked out.

And lastly, Twitter has disallowed the API that I use to do a simultaneous posting to my Twitter account. As a result, I will be doing a manual posts going forward. Another thing to add to the list of things that take additional time.

Now, on to the main topic of the day! The second trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023) has been added. And there are 4K and 1080p versions with the official 5.1 audio. There does not seem to be a lot of additional info, so I don’t think there are any real spoilers. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One will be in theaters on July 12. Coincidentally, it was one year ago today that I posted the first trailer, which you can also find at the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023) page.
