In the UK, it's all about animation:
Animation has replaced action as the UK's favourite film genre for the first time.
Figures from the British Film Institute show British audiences are being drawn to the cinema in their millions for films such as Despicable Me 2, Disney's Frozen, Monsters University and The Croods, all of which were in the top 10 films at the UK box office last year.

In fact, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were not happy with the trailer:
Marketing executives at 20th Century Fox faced difficulties in marketing Fight Club and at one point considered marketing it as an art film. They considered that the film was primarily geared toward male audiences because of its violence and believed that not even Pitt would attract female filmgoers. Research testing showed that the film appealed to teenagers. Fincher refused to let the posters and trailers focus on Pitt and encouraged the studio to hire the advertising firm Wieden+Kennedy to devise a marketing plan. The firm proposed a bar of pink soap with the title "Fight Club" embossed on it as the film's main marketing image; the proposal was considered "a bad joke" by Fox executives. Fincher also released two early trailers in the form of fake public service announcements presented by Pitt and Norton; the studio did not think the trailers marketed the film appropriately. Instead, the studio financed a $20 million large-scale campaign to provide a press junket, posters, billboards, and trailers for TV that highlighted the film's fight scenes. The studio advertised Fight Club on cable during World Wrestling Federation broadcasts, which Fincher protested, believing that the placement created the wrong context for the film.[46] Linson believed that the "ill-conceived one-dimensional" marketing by marketing executive Robert Harper largely contributed to Fight Club's lukewarm box office performance in the United States.[51]

It is a psychological thriller. too slow to be an action movie, too dark to be a romance, too slow to be a screwball comedy.
It has an essence of Noir in terms of the subjects of the movie. Thriller maybe and a darker version of Drama, it has psychological and philisophical aspects (probably the two major aspects of the book/film) but I'm not sure if you could call them Genres.
i LOVE that movie, number one, drama/action/mystery..... helena bonham carter was in it! only reason i watched it............ enjoy it!

This was for an assignment to alter the perception or genre of a movie trailer. I chose to make Fight Club into a romantic drama with 'Jack' loving Tyler to switch up a classic love triangle.
I do not own the rights, this was school related.
The song is the same one as what the original trailer used: Where is My Mind? By the Pixies.
