Needs to contact an admin about multiple accounts
the last Red Band trailer i remember working on was for Road Trip. but actually, now that i think about it, Brick had a red band version of the same trailer everybody's seen. i saw it at the arclight in hollywood. no nudity, or graphic violence. just violates some of the mpaa's rules for general audiences.
ahh, here it is..

When I worked for Regal they said that red band trailers could not be run, even on R-rated movies, unless they were specifically approved by someone at the company. They asked me to put a trailer for "Town and Country" on "Bridget Jones's Diary", but the only copy available was the red-band version so they told me to scrap it.
Of course, that company would probably run a paid commercial with tons of F-words in front of a G-rated movie if they were paid enough money for it.

I saw the red band version of the Brick trailer at Duck Season the other day.
What's funny is that Duck Season also had a red band trailer as well. Why? I have no idea

That is pretty stupid I think. And the only time I have ever seen a "Restricted" trailer in theaters was at an arthouse theater and that was it.

Not that stupid if you think about it. A parent might take a child into an R-rated movie having researched the movie and signed off on it. Then all sorts of unexpected sh*t shows up in the red band trailers before it.
I'm fine with the decision.

I've seen several of them, although I can't think of any recently. That may have something to do with the fact I don't go to the movies much anymore, though.
