Trivia
This trailer debuts the L.A.B. Product10ns branding for the first time in a video project.
The tall trailer can be viewed on YouTube as part of Bloopers | The Makings of Murder (2026).
This trailer is the only time we see Richmond Ursa alive, apart from old archive images and Ryan Sams in the bloopers.
The trailer opens with Grayson Beckham's quote "WE NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!", a direct pull from Calvary at the Courtyard (2022).
The song "Who Can It Be Now?" was considered to be used in other L.A.B. Productions works, such as the potential Blueprint biopic that never came to be.
Other considered/suggested songs for the trailer music include...
"Heaven Help Us All" by Stevie Wonder
"Take The Money and Run" by Steve Miller Band
"Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads
"Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley
"Killer Queen" by Queen
"Heaven Help Us All" ended up being used as background music for a different post.
Notably, this is the first L.A.B. Productions film to use all-original music to use a pre-existing song for its trailer.
The trailer was stylized like an edit, with the opening quote and caption style.
The trailer contains a vastly different color grade than the final film, as it was not done yet. It also notably has no VHS filter at all. The tall size works because of how easy most scenes could be fit to go vertical. Some were panned, but all the same shots were used in both, with some text elements being altered.
