We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we’re seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can’t help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we’ll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which trailers share them. For our first installment, we’ll be breaking down one of summer’s most ever-present previews: The Romantic Comedy Trailer.

Those who’ve fallen victim to the L.A. media craze should certainly have a field day with this one.

This week in theaters Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star in a modern day romantic comedy (which seems almost biographical) about a couple torn apart by dueling coasts in Going the Distance. The couple managed to somehow pull off a relationship on and off screen despite all the nasty rumors circling around them. Not too long ago we got a chance to sit down with both of them at a press conference and talk a little bit about making the film.
Barrymore seems so at ease in front of a group of people and Long was cracking a number of jokes which kept it entertaining. They swapped a number of cute comments to one another, calling the other person a good kisser and what not. It, like the movie, was somehow managed to avoid being cheesy and was actually rather charming.

We just received an e-mail from Warner Brothers letting us know about a rather last minute swap for the release date of their upcoming rom-com Going The Distance starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. The film was originally supposed to be released on August 27th 2010 but has just been pushed to September 3rd 2010, which also happens to be Labor Day weekend (not quite as big of deal as “The Will Smith Blockbuster Weekend” aka 4th of July weekend, but still a money-maker!).
The move makes senses, seeing as they don’t have much competition over the big weekend from The American or Machete, and Eat Pray Love won’t still be pulling in as many viewers… the only odd thing is why they didn’t think of this sooner? Someone get a really large sharpie and start fixing those billboards! Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures President of Domestic Distribution released a statement as to why they’ve made the swap…

Damn! And here I thought this film had promise. I really hope that this is just a bad trailer and not a real representation of the film that was supposed to be a realistic romantic comedy. Going the Distance stars the on-again-off-again-real-life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long and is by first time feature film director Nanette Burstein and was written by first time/Black List writer Geoff LaTulippe.
They do have quite a promising supporting cast, aside from our two lead characters the film co-stars Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Ron Livingston, Kelli Garner (who was so adorable in Lars and a Real Girl) and my favorite “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s,” Charlie Day.

SNL‘s Jason Sudeikis has decided to take on two films this summer. Already in the works is Bounty Hunter, an action-comedy film starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler– interesting, I wonder what that will produce with funny man Sudeikis in the mix. And now, the 33 year-old is signed to appear in Nanette Burstein’s comedy Going The Distance, starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, alongside Christina Applegate and Charlie Day.
