[SPEC]translated trailers.....

Wow, I haven't seen this German trailer yet, thanks! (I think, I have to visit cinema again )

Really interesting notes about various cultural backgrounds.
I found the german dubbing a little disappointing, not too authentic as original.

The question about the roof is really very significant for the whole story, because in German version they really know that they can see "it" from the roof.

[iconsumer]

"it" and "something" are pretty interchangeable to me.

They're just talking about "what's going on", as in "what" the news reporter is talking about. Remember, the news cast doesn't just say it's an earthquake, but rather Earthquake? with a question mark, as though something else might be going on.

I'm pretty sure when he said "it" he was just referring to what the general disturbance the news person what talking about.

I've seen the trailer online and I found the fact, the name of the movie (at least in German film distribution) perhaps is not 1-18-08. Because at the end of the trailer there is not the date "1-18-08", but the message "Im Kino 2008" (release: 01-31-08 according imdb). So whether it has also in US distribution another title?..

So if the movie would had the name "1-18-08", it would have the same name also in German version. (OK, sometimes German distributers give really weird or stupid titles from unknown reason).

Btw, here is the German trailer, check it out.

(The beginning of the party with "Überraschung!" ("surprise!") is too long, imho, the word has 4 syllables, hehe)

I suspect what you heard was 'in kinos' which would be 'in theaters', or 'in theaters 2008'.
No title clue, just a more generic date.
What URL is shown in all these foreign release trailers?

Edit: having watched the trailer now, I see it in fact says "In Kino" and that the URL wasn't used.

[Matt Dark]

in kino = in cinema

For those of us with appalling language abilities, could someone transcribe/translate the German trailer?

[drommi]

I just watched the trailer
Im from germany my english is not that good but
it seems that there is nothing special about it
It is normal that they translate things not very well.
I often saw translations like
"I know him since high school."
and in germany they say
"Ich kenn ihn ziemlich gut!"
which means
"I know him very well"

OK, people, I'll try to transcript German trailer.
CU in x minutes

[drommi]

someone screams
"es lebt, es lebt"
"es lebt" = "it's alive"
so now it is for sure that there is no lion

[kosmopol]

OK, people, here is the script (well, "heard script", so perhaps is here something misheard). If you find some mistakes or my mishearings, please correct me.

And please don't flame me if I haven't recognized (ore misrecognized) somebody on a party, just say and I'll correct it

Different texts than in English trailer are italic.

great work kosmo

but there is one thing wrong
i think the black guy doesn't say "wie im Leben"
i think he says "wie n beben" in english "like an earthquake"

[kosmopol]

Thanks, and yes, it could be "Beben". The sound quality of German trailer isn't that good. I've to see it in cinema.
