As we approach the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace it's time to remember the anniversary of the last trailer released before the movies release.
This was the last chance fans had to see any of the movie before they got to see it in full on its release, and get a flavour for the story and characters.
The trailer was first released in cinemas which was the normal way to see trailers back then, and the next day released online, and this movie is largely responsible for the internet being the way we consume trailers today, and its responsible for the uptick in home broadband!
The first trailer for the movie, shown in 1998, was placed in front of movies Meet Joe Black, The Waterboy and The Siege and perhaps turned them into bigger movies than they would normally have been.
This trailer played in front of the movie Wing Commander and is most likely responsible for much of the box office gross of that movie.
Its hard to understand unless you were there how much excitement there was before the release of this movie, it had been 16 years since the last Star Wars movie, Star Wars Return of the Jedi and expectation were high.
Arguable this gave away a little too much, and perhaps promised a bit too much, but the release date was for May (in America at least) and the hype machine was just ramping up.

The new trailer which features the returning duo from the original The Matrix trilogy heavily start to give a bit more of the story away, and it seems the dynamic duo will finally get their memories back and remember the events of the original movies.
As this is a Matrix movie there is action galore, and Neo is showing a few powers he didn't display is the first movies.
Its starting to look like from the trailer that this will lean heavily on the first (and best) movie in the original set of three movies, but with the inclusion of Jada Pinkett Smith's Niobe the sequels haven't been forgotten.
Directed this time by Lana Wachowski without her sister who co-directed the original movies this one still promises to show all the hallmarks we expect from a Matrix movie.
Set for release on 22nd December 2021 there is only a few weeks until we re-enter The Matrix.
