This trailer is true artistry, and congratulations to the teams at Sony Pictures and Buddha Jones—it ruined my sleep. All of this year’s winners are to be commended for their exceptional excellence and creativity.”

You're never going to believe it, but Alejandro G. Iñárritu has made an elaborately-titled, darkly comedic drama exploring the messy personal and professional lives of an artist who, in one of the film's many surreal moments, flies around through the air in a flowing single take.

Titled "Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths," the film is the latest from the director of "The Revenant" and "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)," and the first he's shot in his native Mexico since 2000's "Amores perros." Daniel Giménez Cacho stars as Silverio Gama, a revered Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker who decides to return to his homeland after being named the recipient of "a prestigious international award." If it's a Golden Globe then, well, I have bad news for you, buddy...

Upon returning to Mexico, Silverio is beset by his memories of the past and fears about his future,...

The 2022 Golden Trailer Awards are led by Coda with 14 nominations — the most of any film — followed by The Matrix Resurrections, which starred Keanu Reeves, with 10.

The Golden Trailer Awards, which honor creatives who produce trailers and marketing content for new movies, TV and streaming series, will be held live in Los Angeles on Oct. 6 and will be hosted by comedian Henry Cho.

Beloved South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho’s latest already has plenty to recommend it, from a boundary-busting Palme d’Or win at Cannes to a massive box office showing in the filmmaker’s home country and even inclusion on IndieWire’s own list of the best films of the decade. Next up: a fall festival run and a prime awards-season stateside release date. So what’s all the fuss about? Let the film’s first U.S. trailer explain, which unspools a tale of two families unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Billed as a “pitch-black modern fairytale,” the film follows two very different families who find themselves tangled up in a complex bond that is threatened by encroaching outside forces. While the Kim family has street smarts to spare, they’ve got little else to recommend them — but don’t tell the rich Park family that, who easily let...

If you have an easy movie, the ones where the trailers practically edit themselves, that probably isn’t a Mark Woollen trailer. Woollen is the guy they call when the movies are more idiosyncratic, or their creators are, or both; the ones where the three-act structure may not be visible to the naked eye, or it’s hard to explain exactly what they’re about, but damn if they don’t make you feel something. But how can you see feelings, and in two minutes or less? What kind of marketing is that?

“I don’t know what marketing is,” said Woollen from the Santa Monica offices of Mark Woollen & Associates, where he employs a staff of 30. “I’m trying to represent the film. Filmmakers come to us in a vulnerable place. Sometimes we’re the first eyes seeing the first rough cut of film they’ve been working on for years.

Disney’s first quarter with 20th Century Fox was hardly a success, as major box office flops like “Dark Phoenix” lost the company $170 million. A new report from Variety, entitled “Fox Feels the Pressure From Disney As Film Flops Mount,” reveals how Disney is moving ahead on the Fox film projects it acquired after the $71.3 billion deal. The merger means Disney now owns and releases films from indie powerhouse Fox Searchlight Pictures. First out of the gate this fall from the 25-year-old indie studio is Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit.” The Nazi Germany-set comedy-drama is billed as an “anti-hate satire” and features Waititi playing an imaginary version of Adolf Hitler, hardly the content associated with Disney’s family-friendly brand.

According to Variety, the Nazi subject matter at the heart of “Jojo Rabbit” is worrying some Disney executives. Variety’s report reads: “The scathing takedown of Nazism may, however, prove a...

This December, Terrence Malick is returning to epic narrative filmmaking in a major way with “A Hidden Life.” The historical drama debuted at Cannes to rave reviews, with many hailing the film as Malick’s greatest achievement since his Palme d’Or winner and magnum opus “The Tree of Life.” The latter went on to earn Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography. Fox Searchlight was behind the release of “The Tree of Life,” and now the indie powerhouse is back with Malick for “A Hidden Life.”

“A Hidden Life” stars August Diehl in the true story of WWII conscientious objector Franz Jägerstätter, who was imprisoned after refusing to fight for the Third Reich. The supporting cast includes Valerie Pachner, Matthias Schoenaerts, and the late actors Michael Nyqvist and Bruno Ganz.

IndieWire named “A Hidden Life” one of the 10 best titles at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. In his A- review,...

With so many movies and shrinking theater audiences, a great trailer can make a world of difference when it comes to drumming up hype for a film. Trailers have become so dynamic in the last two decades that they earned their own awards show.

The Golden Trailer Awards celebrated its 18th year this year, and Warner Bros.’ smash hit superhero movie of the summer, “Wonder Woman,” took home top prize for its trailer titled “What She Is.” “Wonder Woman” also won in the best fantasy/adventure category. A wonder, indeed.

“Manchester By The Sea” took home best indie trailer, and Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” won in the drama category. Edgar Wright’s “Baby Driver” trailer took home best action, while the much talked about trailer for new Line Cinema’s “It” won best horror.

Warner Bros’ DC tentpole Wonder Woman continued its winning ways tonight, taking the Best of Show prize at the 18th annual Golden Trailer Awards handed out at the Saban Theater. Warner Bros had a great night overall, leading studios with 26 awards among Warner Bros Pictures, New Line Cinema and HBO. Its animated The Lego Batman Movie won the most individual prizes with five.

Fox won 15 statues, while Disney and Netflix won seven apiece. Mark Woollen & Associates was the top vendor with 10 wins, followed by Av Squad’s eight.

The Wonder Woman trailer, titled, “What She Is” from Open Road Entertainment and Av Squad, won both the marquee Best of Show prize and Best Fantasy/Adventure Trailer. It was one of 115 categories across film, TV, video games and more. A total of 17 of the awards were handed out tonight onstage in...

Though some people may be unaware, there’s an awards ceremony held every year to honor the true heroes behind our favorite films: the marketing team. That’s right, the Golden Trailer Awards hand out statues to those who work tirelessly putting together trailers, commercials and posters for hundreds of releases each and every year. And not just in film, but video games and TV, too. It’s an incredibly comprehensive ceremony as well, with awards for a whopping 116 categories. Yes, 116 – though not all of those are given out on stage.

The nominations for the 18th annual edition, set to go down on June 6th at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, are now in and it seems that Warner Bros. is leading the pack amongst the various studios, scoring an impressive 68 nods in total, 11 of which come from The Lego Batman Movie – the most of any title to be nominated.

The Golden Trailer Awards have unveiled nominations in 116 categories for its 18 annual edition honoring the year’s best film marketers and companies that create movie trailers, commercials and posters.

Led by The Lego Batman Movie, which had the most individual noms with 11, Warner Bros leads the studio pack in total nominations with 68 (including its HBO and New Line titles). 20th Century Fox has 58 noms, and Universal (along with Focus Features) has 50. Among trailer houses, Mark Woollen & Associates led with 33 noms, followed by Av Squad with 29 and Trailer Park with 28.

Winners in the 17 marquee categories will be unveiled June 6 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills at a ceremony hosted by Wayne Brady. Among the categories: the omnibus Best Of Show, Trashiest Trailer and the Golden Fleece Award, given to a campaign that was better than the movie it advertised.

Take a seat, get comfy,...

Trailers, teasers, and posters from the last year of motion pictures and television were celebrated tonight at the 17th annual Golden Trailer Awards held tonight in Beverly Hills. Over 1,100 marketing execs, trailer editors, movie fans, and celebrities were on hand to honor entertainment marketing of all stripes, with the night’s biggest prize going to Spotlight, which racked up yet another awards win for its “Answers” trailer, which took home both the Best of Show Prize as well as Best Independent Trailer.

With 92 categories total, Warner Bros. (along with New Line Cinema) was tonight’s biggest winner with 11 awards overall. Fox and Disney came in second with 10 each, with Universal landing 9 and Lionsgate 8. In all, the night’s biggest winners took home a combined 38 trophies. But if Disney came in tied for second, it at least claimed the night’s single biggest winner with current box office champ The Jungle Book...

You may not know Mark Woollen's name, but thanks to his work on some of the most attention-grabbing trailers of the past twenty years, you're probably familiar with his work. Whether it's the subtle heartbreak of "12 Years a Slave," the technical wizardry of "Birdman," or one of his most recent efforts, the immersive two-minute hurricane that is the trailer for "The Revenant," Woollen has been turning the teaser into an art form all its own. This week on Indiewire Influencers, Woollen sits down with Indiewire Editor in Chief Dana Harris for a conversation about his career in the field and what it's like to work with such a varied list of collaborators. Woollen's career has now spanned multiple decades, long enough to see a shift from a time when trailers played almost exclusively in theaters to now, when they're readily available at a moment's notice. But the changing venues...

“It’s weird talking with my back to you this whole time,” Mark Woollen says in a high, soft voice, chuckling nervously. Draped over an Aeron chair in an untucked plaid shirt and stylish two-tone sneakers, he’s attempting to edit, eat, and tell his life story all at once. It’s lunchtime, or what passes for it during a nine-to-seven summer Monday that finds him jumping from screen to screen to screen: a half-hour reprieve during which he can pick at his tricolore salad, sip his passion-fruit iced tea, and cull footage on his editing bay from a freshly cut sci-fi film set on mute. This is the first step in a months-long process of turning a two-hour movie into a two-­minute work of art. Over the past 30 years or so, movie trailers have evolved from dutiful clip jobs prepared by the monopolistic National Screen Service to the...

Do awards shows for advertising have “for your consideration” ads for their ads?

While your brain ponders that Russian nesting doll of a question, let’s take a look at the contenders for this year’s Golden Trailer Awards, the top honor for those clips that make you say, “Man, I’ve got to see that.”

The 15th annual competition doesn’t honor the best movie, just the most alluring promo. And it has a somewhat dubious special award known as the “Golden Fleece,” which honors the best trailer for the worst film.

The commercial for All Cheerleaders Die, featured above,...

Warner Bros set the pace for the biggest number of nominations in the 15th annual Golden Trailer Awards, which will be presented May 30 at the Saban Theater. The awards cover the gamut of trailers, and Warner Bros, with 51 noms for films including Gravity, The Lego Movie, Godzilla and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, set the pace. Universal is second with 32 nominations including Focus Features, for movies that include A Million Ways To Die In The West, Lone Survivor, The Purge and Despicable Me 2. Right behind them is Fox, which includes Searchlight, and which got 31 noms for films that included The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, Rio 2 and How To Train Your Dragon 2. Lionsgate got 30 noms and Disney came in with 23. The judge panel includes Frozen co-director Chris Buck, actor Adam Driver, Entourage creator Doug Ellin and castmember Debi Mazar, Raising Hope’s Garret Dillahunt, Divergent helmer Neil Burger,...

It's always nice to see a teaser trailer that does exactly what it says on the tin: teases. As trailer editor Mark Woollen recently revealed, the reason so many pieces of marketing reveal too much of a movie is because studio research shows that fans secretly want to know more about a movie they're about to see. The masses, even though they're complaining about it, actually want spoilers in their trailers. Don't worry, that's not happening with this trailer for The Counselor. You're not getting any spoilers out of this first look at Ridley Scott's new drama. You are getting a few crucial bits of info, though. 1. It looks gorgeous (no surprise there, since it shares a cinematographer with Prometheus). 2. It's written by Cormac McCarthy (No...

Wired published a fantastic interview with video editor and movie trailer guru Mark Woollen. He started as a one-man operation several years ago, catching his big break by cutting the Schindler’s List trailer when he was in his 20s, and now he owns his own company. Remember the trailer for The Social Network and the ingenious use of Radiohead's "Creep?" That was Woollen's idea. He's also added his touch to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and most recently Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives. Woollen prefers to work on director-driven films so you won't find him editing the latest Iron Man trailer, but he shines in the world of Spike Jonze, Terrence Malick and the Coen brothers. Mark shared an interesting response to the...

Wired has a fascinating interview with trailer editor maestro Mark Woollen. Never heard of him? Well, maybe you remember being enraptured by the trailers for "The Tree of Life," "The Social Network," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming "Only God Forgives," all of which Woollen expertly constructed. Highlights from the interview below. Read the entire interview at Wired. On the online trailer phenomenon: When I began, trailers were not on the Internet. That’s changed dramatically over the past several years, especially with fan participation. We have instant critiques, for better or for worse. Everything has gotten faster... I was in a meeting with a director a couple of years ago. We had cut something that was on the short side, and he made a crack about it feeling like a trailer for a trailer. It’s bizarre that a year later, that’s...

Moviegoers love to complain about trailers. There are too many. They give away too much. They all sound exactly like Inception. But it’s not just the ticket buyers complaining — the people selling the tickets apparently aren’t happy either. The Hollywood Reporter recently broke the news that the National Association of Theatre Owners wants to establish new rules for movie trailers, limiting the length to two minutes, down from an industry-standard two minutes and 30 seconds. Nato declined to comment, as did the Motion Picture Association of America, which represents the six major Hollywood studios.

But the report comes in...

The annual marketing kudos went big for Disney pics Iron Man 3, Wreck-It-Ralph, Monsters University, Brave, and The Avengers at the Golden Trailer Awards Friday night.

This story first appeared in the Oct. 19 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. To those working in the entertainment advertising and communications industry, The Hollywood Reporter's Key Art Awards, to be announced Oct. 17 during a ceremony at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome, are akin to the Oscars. "Within our little niche of the entertainment world, it certainly is that honor," says Mark Woollen, whose firm Mark Woollen & Associates won last year's Grand Key Art award for The Social Network's trailer. "In its reach, our work is so vast but so anonymous. What's special is being recognized by your
