If I were to write the promotional ads they would be different.
Unfortunately, the people who DO write the promotional ads are AD/PR people who wanted to be in the entertainment business, but (a) either can’t hack it or (b) want to make more money than your average producer/director/actor shmuck.
Remember, a lot of these guys come from the same breed of thinkers that come up with promo spots like this ol’ favorite:
“Is something in your home killing your children right now? Watch Channel 2 News at 11 to find out! Then Leno has Tom Cruise and Sting!”
Of course, they’re also known for hacking a movie to bits just to come up with a few out of context one liners and expressions to edit together to promote a picture they believe “the audience would really like to see.”
Like any industry, though, most guys are pretty straight foward and good at their job, its just that some like to use razor blades as mental floss.
