Reverse Trailer Engineering

 So I had an idea.

Have you ever watched a trailer and thought

"I have no idea what the plot of that movie is"?

Then you watched the movie and then watched the trailer again and thought:

"Oh, that makes perfect sense now. I can't believe I didn't see it before!"

Or is that just me? Anyway, I thought I'd try to reverse engineer a movie from the trailer. But the question was what? I could have done a Marvel movie, but the problem with those is that they often put in fake scenes, mostly to confuse Tom Holland with what he can and can't spoil. At this point I think it would be easiest if they just wrote the movies after Tom wraps filming.

A movie which is coming out this year is the newest Wallace and Gromit movie. Let's start by making this a bit easier for ourselves by using the official synopsis:

"Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!"

The first trailer came out on June 6th 2024:

It shoulfd be pointed out that the description above was amended after this trailer was released. Before the reveal of Feathers McGraw returning, the synopsis was as follows:

"Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. As events spiral out of control, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!"

I have highlighted the altered text. Speaking of the reveal, I have to say that the secret was incredibly well kept; I for one had no idea
