Even Alan Taylor, director of Terminator Genisys felt the trailer is revealing way too much in his interview with Uproxx recently. Many fans are in uproar with seemingly standard second trailer that revealed the shocking twist – John Connor is the baddie in the movie. According to the director:
“Yeah, it’s funny, I certainly directed those scenes with the intention that no one would know.” he muses.
Then he continues, “I know there was kind of a challenging calculus going on in the heads of those who market this thing to decide that this was the right thing to do. I think they felt like they had to send a strong message to a very wary audience that there was something new, that this was going to new territory. They were concerned that people were misperceiving this as kind of a reboot, and none of us wanted to reboot two perfect movies by James Cameron. I think they felt they had to do something game-changing in how the film was being perceived.”
The marketing team hopes that the trailer will convince the skeptics, but instead backfired spectacularly. The director concluded it with a laugh, “I had a few heads ups and a few unpleasant conversations where I squawked about this or that.”
Now we will see if the movie is being spoiled by the trailer to score well on box office or not.
