Bullshit!

Trailers routinely show scenes that are not in the movie they are
supposedly portraying.

Sometimes it's a scene or part of a scene cut for pacing or for the
total length of the movie.

Other times the trailer footage is from an earlier draft of the script
and shows something, sometimes including characters, that aren't in the
movie at all - the beancounters just figure "It's exciting, it's
interesting looking, we paid to film this lets get something out of it,
who cares if it's actually in the movie if it gets people in seats."

Googling will no doubt turn up dozens, if not hundreds, of other
examples of trailers containing scenes, dialog and characters that
aren't in the movies they are supposed to represent.


They'll never get called on it though, because the MPAA has enough money
to buy Senators and Congress-critters to make legislation that is
beneficial to them and not the consumers.

Bribe: spelled "Campaign Contribution".
