The final trailer for Black Widow (2020) was released earlier today. Links to 1080p versions with the official stereo mix are below. I should be able to get a 5.1 mix within the next week, and possibly a 4K version in the next two weeks. I will post them if I get them.
Release Date: July 9, 2021 (North America) and Disney+
Director: Cate Shortland
Writers: Ned Benson, Don Heck (comic book & character)
Stars: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr.
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures / Marvel Studios
It has been a little while since I added a new trailer. February is usually a slow time of the year, but things will be picking up now into the summer season, unless COVID-19 derails the schedule. You may have heard that yesterday it was announced that the upcoming James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ has been moved from April to November 25, 2020 because they determined that it would have an impact on the box office results. A lot of cinemas are closed, so that makes sense. If the situation continues to deteriorate, we may see a larger shift in the release schedule.
Tom Hanks stars in ‘Greyhound’ for which he also wrote the screenplay. Inspired by actual events during World War II and adapted from the novel ‘The Good Shepherd’ by C. S. Forester. Greyhound is set to hit theaters in June. I do not have a 5.1 mix at this time, but I should be able to get one before too long. I did a 5.1 upmix, but I was not very happy with the result. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work, so for now we have the official stereo mix which sounds pretty good using the Surround processor in 7.1
Have you checked out the new customizable ‘Coming Soon/Feature Presentation’ trailers? These new trailers are available in multiple formats including ProRes 422 HQ and 4K 10bit HDR. You can get more information and download sample versions here:

New versions of IMAX Infinite Worlds have been added to the IMAX Pre-Show Trailers page. This replaces the version that was posted in July. There are a number of differences from the July version. The audio of the new version is much better than the previous version, and I suspect that the July version was not an official mix. The resolution is also better, where the July had 2732×1438 (1.899 aspect ratio) the new version is 3840×2026 (1.895 aspect ratio). I also did some editing to give a buffer at the beginning for smoother start of playback. Another major difference is that this time there is an HEVC 10 Bit HDR Rec2020 version as well. This is my first attempt at color grading and I could not have done it without the help of Sergio Novelli. While we are mostly happy with the results, I am sure not everyone will be. But please keep in mind that this is a first attempt and the process will continue to be refined. So, head on over to the IMAX Pre-Show Trailers page and check them both out. I also want to thank Johann for sending the new version along.
This took me a little longer than expected due to some network issues. Vin Diesel said it would be an epic trailers, and coming in just shy of 4 minutes of non-stop action I have to agree. Obviously, if you want to be spoiler free then this is not the trailer for you, because it has many. The sound mix is from the dialogue, music and effects stems. I don’t know if we will ever get an official 5.1 mix for this 4 minute trailer as I don’t think it will be shown in theaters. Download links are below.
Release Date: June 25, 2021 (North America)

Vin Diesel stopped by today to let us know of a F9 Fan Event and Trailer Drop:
Tonight at 9PM Eastern on NBC. Superstar performers Cardi B, Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth, Ludacris and Ozuna join blockbuster Fast & Furious film series guests Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and John Cena-as well as director Justin Lin-in Miami for “The Road to F9: Fast & Furious Fan Fest.” Tyrese Gibson and Maria Menounos host the massive super-fan concert event that premieres the all-new trailer for F9 and celebrates the world of Fast & Furious for ride-or-die family across the globe.
Questions and Answers:
Q: Will a high quality version of the epic trailer be available tonight?
A: With the high amount of materials leading up to the trailer drop, I expect so.
Q: Will it be in 5.1 Audio?
A: Probably not. But I will upload an official PCM Stereo version as well as a 5.1 DTS:Neural X Up-Mix.
Q: Will it be available in 4K?
A: Probably not tonight, but likely in a week or so. I have been working on 4K HDR workflows, so if things go well, a 10 Bit, HEVC, 4K, HDR, Rec2020 version may be posted. That is the plan.

As previously mentioned, I was waiting to post the first trailer for Morbius (2020) until I got a better audio mix. Unfortunately, the only true 5.1 I could get was not English, but the big problem was that it was for a different cut of the trailer and was about 70 seconds shorter. Therefore, I went with a DTS:Neural Upmix and for those who do not like upmixes, the official stereo is also provided. Download links are below. Judging by the Spider-Man graffiti in the alley shot it appears that Morbius takes place after Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).

Here is a 4K version of the first trailer for ‘Black Widow’ (2020). Video is 4096×1716 and audio is an unofficial English mix from an official foreign language mix as the source. Download links are below.
Release Date: July 9, 2021 (North America) and Disney+
Director: Cate Shortland
Writers: Ned Benson, Don Heck (comic book & character)
Stars: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr.

As promised, here is Trailer F5 for the upcoming Harley Quinn film ‘Birds of Prey’ (2020). This is an unofficial mix, but it is very, very close to the official. Left, Right, LFE and surrounds are from an official non English mix, and have not been changed in any way. The Center channel was edited to remove the non English dialogue. This was then mixed with the English dialogue and any missing background music and effects. The result is near identical but in English. The video source was 25 fps PAL, which I converted to 24 fps to match the source audio. This preserves the audio pitch, which was a problem with the Tenet trailer which I plan to fix. File links are below.
Release Date: February 7, 2020 (North America)
Director: Cathy Yan
Writer: Christina Hodson
Stars: Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor

Happy 2020! It is time to get back into the swing of things. First up is the Black Widow (2020) Featurette, which doesn’t seem to have any spoilers, which is always a good thing. The featurette was only released in 1080p and stereo and you can get a mkv with PCM and AC3 stereo, or a mp4 with just AC3 stereo below. I plan to also upload the 4K Black Widow trailer either later tonight, or early tomorrow. I am also working on Morbius (2020), but I want to wait until I get a better sound mix before I post it, and I hope it will be available before the weekend. I also plan to upload the second trailer for Birds of Prey (2020) very soon as well. Stay tuned, there is more to come!
