My fat thumbs probably botched the operation. Sorry.
Thank you, HERO!

Both the trailers are excellent. The prologue (if that is how we are distinguishing it), has a more horror, dangerous vibe. The music in the trailer felt more almost rousing and triumpant, the prologue sounds menacing. Conti Accent is ON POINT!!!!! I'll be honest, I was sweating. It's fascinating that the trailers are focusing almost purely on the Los Almos/Trinity, obviously its the big important thing, but we haven't seen Pugh, or much pre, post. (obviously you sell this thing on that). The only thing I'm not vibing with is the cross fade from Murphy to a fire explosion...hopeful that is a trailer edit. Can't be more excited!!!!!!

"The whole thing about igniting the atmosphere is interesting, Nolan is choosing to make that a conversation between Oppenheimer and Einstien. In the book, it was actually Teller who suggested it:
Teller stunned Oppenheimer’s group in July with calculations suggesting
that a mere twenty-six pounds of liquid heavy hydrogen, ignited by a fission
weapon, could produce an explosion equivalent to one million tons of TNT.
Magnitudes of this scale raised the possibility, Teller suggested, that even a
fission bomb might inadvertently ignite the earth’s atmosphere, seventy-eight
percent of which was made of nitrogen. “I didn’t believe it from the first
minute,” Bethe said later. But Oppenheimer thought it advisable to hop a train
East and personally report to Compton on both the super bomb and Teller’s
apocalyptic calculations. He tracked Compton down at his summer cottage on a
lake in northern Michigan" (American Prometheus, pg. 209).

ok this hits the Tone i was expecting to be hit, i think its mainly the music, i first saw the normal trailer bootleg without sound and the imagery is pretty effing eerie and foreboding, perhaps even more so than the IMAX one, but this one has the edgier lines, and the darker music, i think the film will walk both paths.

The crossfade is definitely a trailer edit, I can’t think of a single crossfade edit in a single Nolan film, he only does hard cuts, which is superior anyways

The prestige's final shot is a cross fade. That is the only one I can think of, but its a gooder. (Crossfade, like anything else is a tool that can be used well, or not. Inherent Vice has so of the most beautiful cross fades).

I’m here for this. Loved the tone of the IMAX version. Tension endlessly ramping up with what I assume is part of the new score

99% sure it is, Nolan always uses original score in his trailers. He did so for all of the TENET trailers, plus this IMAX trailer contains a lot of the same stuff that was in the teaser which was 100% Ludwig, so yeah I’m very confident in saying what you hear is Ludwig

To be honest, I can see the "There's a chance - Near zero - Near zero?!" dialogue play out as a typical Nolan comedy moment :D
