Comic book fame could not prepare Todd McFarlane for music fans. “I found out that rock & roll groupies are way different than comic-book groupies,” says the man who created Spawn and illustrated one of Marvel’s most iconic Spider-Man covers ever. His success led Pearl Jam to ask him to direct their “Do the Evolution” video in 1998, and he’s since made clips for Korn, Ozzy Osbourne, and others.
“Korn was in town here in Phoenix where I live, doing a signing,” he recalls. “One of the band members got sick,...

Here's a fun hypothetical: What do you think would happen if you set snippets of Inside Out to Zack Hemsey's Inception-associated "Mind Heist"? Well, you might get something kind of badass, like “Incept Out,” digital maestro Nelson Carvajal's revised version of the recent Pixar box-office hit. Carvajal's mash-up is a gripping, understated faux-trailer tinged with heightened drama, loud noises, and (unfortunately) just a pinch of Bing Bong. In his own words, Carvajal calls it "a Disney-Pixar thriller set within the architecture of our emotions." Deep and trippy.

Much like the way movies are influenced by hit movies, the way trailers are cut are influenced by other trailers which have been highly successful or memorable.
One trend in trailers over the past few years has been the overuse of "Braaam!", the large foghorn-style noise which originally appeared on the trailers for Christopher Nolan's "Inception".
Composer Hans Zimmer is the one credited for coming up with that noise, a noise that was then mixed into Zack Hemsey's "Mind Heist" music which became the iconic theme from the "Inception" trailer.
The noise has then showed up in trailers for practically every action movie of the past few years from "World War Z" and "Star Trek Into Darkness," to "Prometheus," "The Avengers," "Super 8," "Pacific Rim" and so many more.
Speaking with Vulture about his career, Zimmer bemoans the way the sound has been overplayed:
"Oh, it's horrible!. This...

Thanks to the wonder of the world wide web, there has been a dramatic uprise in the number of old films getting 'new' trailers. Fans have taken to their video archives, editing software and the latest piece of dramatic music (from Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna" to Zack Hemsey's "Mind Heist" to audiomachine's "Judge and Jury") to approximate what a preview for a classic movie would look like if it was being marketed today. But when there's a big anniversary release of a landmark film, studios themselves sometimes get into the game and Warner Bros. Home Video has given Ridley Scott's Blade Runner trailer an update. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the re-envisioned preview not only showcases the pristine new transfer of the beautifully photographed film (although 480p is a pretty weak way to advertise) but also implements music much more à la mode. Take a...
