Captioned Movie Trailers Now Appearing on TV more Frequently

1 Reply

Observed by twitter user deaf258, captioned movie trailers have started appearing more during regular TV programming, including The Odd Life of Timothy Green (Disney), Premium Rush (SonyPictures), Expendables 2 (Lionsgate), Bourne Legacy (Universal Pictures), Paranorman (Universal Studios), and Total Recall (Sony Pictures) : [Images].

Nice to see that studios are paying a little more attention.

They all have similar flash-tastic websites, so maybe it’s a common marketing co? Anyone know who’s captioning them?

Most Watched: The Avengers

It took less than 9 months to overthrow the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1 trailer, and has 800 more views than #2, Hunger Games

Most Translated: 4 Way Tie!

Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lockout, and Toy Story 3 have all been translated by volunteers into 5 other languages.

These are happy/sad things to report.

Happy: People are captioning and translating these to be helpful and for the love and fun of it.

Sad: This is all unpaid, free publicity for movies that spend mega millions on production, but rarely put out a movie trailer with captions on TV or the internet. [they have put some trailers on TV] Shouldn’t someone be paid for this?

Happy: Glad that DotSUB provides free tools to do this.
