As a general rule, I tend not to over-analyze trailers. They are seldom created by the film’s director, and can easily present very different ideas than what will ultimately shake down in the full feature.
My rule of not over-analyzing trailers goes double for this clip that set the internet a-blaze ten days ago. There are many questions to be discussed about this remake, but I will now hold off on most of them until I see the finished film in December. What I will say is that when I heard that director David Fincher was tackling this project, I was intrigued…and that intrigue holds steady with these glimpses at his version.
