    Default DOTM trailer info on bbfc about to be corrected?

    So we all remember the controversial page about the rated new TF3 trailer on the British Board of Film Classification site.

    http://www.bbfc.co.uk/CTxxx275375

    The only accurate information seemed to be the name of the movie and the length of the trailer. The other info (director and cast) is wrong. So the question is - is this info for the new film trailer of TF3 or a video trailer for No Strings attached.

    I sent an email to bbfc regarding this and it's very probable that in the next hours the info will be fixed. Here is my correspondence:


    "Hi,
    I wanted to ask you if the following page is legit:

    http://www.bbfc.co.uk/CTxxx275375

    This page was revealed one month ago and is about the new Transformers trailer. Some of the info though is wrong (director, cast, etc.). I'm surprised that this info was not corrected for such a long time. So my question is - is this the video trailer for No Strings Attached rated or the film trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Regards."


    And here is their answer:

    "Thank you for your email.

    I have passed your observations onto our Information Services team, who are responsible for the classification data on our main website. The team will be able to amend the record.

    Thank you for bringing this discrepancy to our attention.

    Yours sincerely,

    BBFC Webmaster"


    Somehow I doubt that I'm the first one who ask them this but let's see what will happen. I hope this discrepancy will be fixed.

    Well I guess this doesn't matter now. Alberta Film Ratings revealed the true info. It's not going to be 2:18 min. as bbfc stated but 2:24 min.

    And bbfc still haven't changed their info. Very unprofessional.

    Bbfc suck!:dh

    Well finally they fixed some of the info, but still the length of the trailer is 2:18. Alberta says 2:24. So obviously we will bet on Alberta.
    So at the end I'm really surprised that no one informed bbfc about their mistake earlier.

    Actually few of TFW members did inform BBFC when the mistake showed-up back then. I'm surprised it took them this much time to fix. BTW good job Albershide. But don't you get the feeling that this 2:18 trailer page is not for a DOTM trailer but rather for something else. That's a pretty big mix-up for a Film Classification site. It's like rating a children's movie with an "R" and rating an adult one with just a "PG".
