Warner Bros.
Directors like Christopher Nolan and J.J. Abrams have carved out a reputation for secrecy. Cagey about the plots of their films and only lightly dropping hints if they say anything at all, they send fans into a fervour. It can’t always work (everybody had twigged the Talia/Khan twists in The Dark Knight Rises/Star Trek Into Darkness respectively), but when it does it’s a delight.
In these spoiler heavy times, with the twist of the latest releases a click away, it’s very much appreciated. Other filmmakers don’t seem as bothered about shrouding their films in secrecy (or simply don’t have the clout to pull it off). Trailers burn the big set pieces to our retinas months in advance and entire online communities piece together the plot as if pre-release material is a puzzle in need of solving.
Some films take it even further.
