Parody video made from movie clips and trailers
A re cut trailer, or retrailer, is a mashup video that uses footage from a movie or its original trailers to create a completely new context, or one different from the original source material. The mashups are parody trailers that derive humor from misrepresenting original films: for instance, a film with a murderous plot is made to look like a comedy, or vice versa. They became popular on the Internet in 2005.

The making of retrailers became possible with the availability of consumer level digital video editing suites. The more sophisticated of these allow the editor to separate the audio and video tracks of a clip, allowing the original score or soundtrack to be removed — these contribute most to a scene's tone—and replaced with another. By placing clips of different characters (typically closeups) together in sequence, a relation between them may be implied, regardless of where each character is actually situated within their respective movie. All that remains is to include certain conventions such as voice over narration, titles and credits, and the familiar MPAA rating system copy (the white on green introductory screen).

The earliest identified re cut trailer debuted in December 2003, named Kill Christ, created by an NYU film student. It mocks the films Kill Bill: Volume 1 and The Passion of the Christ. In 2005, the format started to gain popularity with Robert Ryang's re cut of The Shining, which made the horror film appear to be a light hearted family comedy drama about father and son bonding, adding voice over narration and Peter Gabriel's song "Solsbury Hill" to augment the re edited footage. After it was published to the Internet, it jump started the popularity of re cut trailers for the internet community. In 2006, comedy troupe The Lonely Island made a Saturday Night Live Digital Short in which a trailer of Mel Gibson's upcoming film Apocalypto, a film entirely in the Yucatec Maya language, was recut and had English language subtitles added to it based on statements made by Gibson during a well publicized drunk driving incident of several months prior, to make it appear that the characters were saying anti Semitic things. With continued growth of the Internet, including the ease of mixing videos and publishing to sites like YouTube, re mix trailers continued to gain popularity. While most were made with the intent of present a film in a different genre than intended, other trailers were made to rectify what some might see as bad marketing or approaches to movie promotion. A notable example was the fan made re cut of John Carter based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs character. Michael Sellers, a fan of Burroughs' work, had been disappointed by the trailers Disney had released, including the one used during Super Bowl XLVI. He and his friend Mark Linthicum spent the evening after the Super Bowl downloading available material for the film and other works to piece together a more representative trailer of the source material; this caught not only the attention of the film's director Andrew Stanton, but of major media productions that praised the trailer's quality over Disney's own efforts. In a similar vein, the web series Honest Trailers from Screen Junkies similar remixes films to create trailers that sarcastically portray what happens in the film.
