Shit like this is why I stopped watching any movie trailers years ago and now I just go in blind to everything. Film marketers are dumb as hell sometimes. Luckily I've read the book but this is a stupid spoiler to have in the trailer.

A bit hard to avoid when they play it in the theater. I mean I guess you can stand outside the theater and periodically poke your head in to try to guess if trailers are over.
