Movie Trailer?
« on: May 04, 2008, 08:57:37 AM »
While watching Iron Man yesterday (well-done film, btw), one of the trailers at the beginning featured parkour. It wasn't a trailer for a movie, but an ad for reserving tickets online. It showed a guy doing parkour to quickly get from his house to the cinema to beat the crowd and get his tickets for a movie called "The Chase." As he was starting a big gap jump to get to the box office, the ticket agent put up a "Sold Out" sign, which caused him to lose his concentration and he bailed and landed painfully on the street below.

His wife/girlfriend then pulled up in the car and was really crabby and said, "I've been trying to tell you, I already reserved our tickets on..." I was so busy trying to figure out if this trailer was new or not, and who the traceur was, that I failed to note the website/organization/company that it was for. It looked like it wasn't terribly new.

Has anyone else seen this/know what I'm talking about?

"Fandango" perhaps?  That's the only online movie ticket buying thingy I know of.

And speaking of seeing parkour at the movies, I also went to see Iron Man this weekend and noticed a bit of parkour in the trailer for the new Adam Sandler movie coming out.  Can't remember the name, but it looked sweet.  Anybody else see this?

Funny, I noticed and geeked out over the random little vault one of the SHIELD guys does in the laboratory when they are looking for the iron monger at the end.

Lol, yeah I remember that!  I was looking around grinning to see if anybody else noticed, then I realized: "Oh yeah, they don't give a crap."

lol, I did too. Mr. Muse and I looked at eachother and said, "Parkour!"  Hee!

Still wondering about this trailer. It wasn't for Fandango. I think it was some Midwest-specific company. Hm... I might have to resort to some creative Googling.

Don't mess with the Zohan.  Though, It was mostly just flips.

Oh I didn't see the Zohan one. For a second there I thought you were saying that PD was in the trailer I saw, and I was like, "Wow, it must be really old, because this guy was like 8" shorter than I remember PD!"

it wasn't a movie it was like a commercial before the movie, some dude trying to get to the theatre, and he does some parkour looking stuff in it.
