    Or taking different cuts of a scene in the movie or reordering the way the lines are spoken in the actual movie.

    Like the original Return of the King trailer took 2 lines and flipped them. When I was a kid, I watched that trailer 100x before the movie came out. It still throws me off when I watch the movie because it sounds jarring from the difference from that trailer.

    The two lines:

    Gandalf when watching the light above Minas Morgul.

    Trailer: “the board is set, the pieces are moving. We’ve come to it at last, the great battle of our time.”

    Movie: “We’ve come to it at last, the great battle of our time.” Then a little bit later “The board is set, the pieces are moving.”

    2nd line:

    Arwen confronting Elrond after seeing her kid with Aragorn in a vision.

    Trailer: “you have the gift of foresight, tell me what you’ve seen.

    Movie: “Tell me what you have seen. You have the gift of foresight.”

    Are we really upset about them using cutting floor footage in trailers, while at the same time everyone complains that trailers spoil entire movies?

    Unless you know someone who works in the studio and who also works in the media company that cuts these trailers, you ain’t going to know when a trailer has scenes that are lying to you.
