iTunes Movie Trailers

The iTunes Movie Trailer site is a great place to look at trailers by genre. You can see trailers for the latest releases but also you can sort the trailers by genre and see at a glance some of the more obvious genre features.

Year 13 - Three very good film poster/trailer sites

You have probably already found the Apple film trailer site. This shows all the latest upcoming films for release, providing posters, trailers and links to the film websites themselves. Every genre is here and the websites for the films can give a variety of trailers for each film. Also, try Movie Poster.com.

The Film Distributors' Association site is a wealth of information about film releases in the UK as well as a host of issues to do with the distribution side of the industry. A must if you are doing the Film Industry in the retake in January.
