Did you see a commercial or a movie trailer?

A studio will make 3-5 TOTALLY different commericials for the same movie targeted at different audiences. On TV shows or channels watched by women, they'll show a commercial for a movie emphasizing the weepy chick-flick aspects. If the commericial is during a football game, they'll show combat scenes.

I saw the trailer in the theater, prior to "Master and Commander."

Most of the trailer was the Petersburg mine exploding, enormogigantic cloud of dirt and bodies flying around, then thousands of Union troops advancing, then they mill around in the big crater while the Confederates blaze away at them.....

I saw the trailer, preceeding Disney's Haunted House, Bad Santa, Lost in Translation, Master and Commander and TimeLine. It was the same trailer (3 different theater chains). Wonder if the trailer is localized in this case. I'm in Austin, and each time I've seen it; it's been the same.

Now, the trailer for 'Troy' looks impressive.
