It's fascinating to see the original poster for the original release - Peter O'Toole, who was almost completely unknown before, but is absolutely brilliant as Lawrence, is billed below Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Jose Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains and Arthur Kennedy. I first saw the film as a child in a re-release (I think, I don't think I saw it in its original release - it was a long time ago) in the middle 1960s and even at a young age I knew I had seen greatness. It IS one of the greatest films ever made.
O'Toole had only done one movie before, a supporting role in the 1959 Disney movie, "Kidnapped". When he was cast as Lawrence, he was almost unknown. But Lawrence of Arabia made him an international star and he was nominated for The Oscar Award for Best Actor. And he is remembered as the star of one of the greatest films ever made, so not altogether a terrible legacy.
Nice, "modern trailers" are usually doing great disservice to classics, but this is very good work. I love this movie, saw it many times... and now I want to see it again.
I have loved this movie, since I was kid (and it is one of the reasons I a severe history junkie) but the run time on it makes it kind of an all day watch party to see it! Having said that you somehow managed to do a pretty good job to take 4 plus hours of classic and turn it into the 2000's 2 minute ADHD trailer!
The guy doctorates travel around the world become an archeologist has a 15-year-old boy as a lover (yikes) go to war for a promise to him, became a really difficult enemy for the Ottoman army get captured, tortured, raped and escapes to win the war with classical tactics against mechanized war machines, meets some big names of his time, then betrayed and continue fighting...sounds an astonishing life to me.
This is one of the greatest films of all time, no matter the trailer.

My second favorite movie after the bicycle thief .
brilliant work! the famous cut at the very end fits perfectly!
I love love love this edit! Oh man... the feels. The end with the chanting and the match... perfection!
A modern remake utilizing Bedouin actors for the Arab positions could turn out to be an excellent film.
Superbly well done!
Brilliant acting in one of the best films made, yet no Oscar - O’Toole , one of the real greats 👌👏👏👏👏

this works really well! and the real movie is still great today
Knowing this film could never be released today, this alone makes it a great film
Maybe someday we will move to a new culture where creativity returns.

This is immaculate. Well done. :)
Great job!
Excellent
This is brilliant. Great work. It is exactly how a big modern studio would make a trailer today
THAT WAS SO PERFECT
Breathtakingly done, Wonderful tribute to an amazing timeless movie, BRAVO 👍👍
I love this movie!!!
Great job man, would be great to show this to ppl of today who might not ever watch the film becuz its from the 60s and is around 3 hrs long.
What would be more interesting is to insert this trailer with whatever other junky trailers and see what the reaction is

Thank you!!!
still a top 10 film

holy shit i wanna watch the movie again
I seen it at a 70mm theatre and it looked amazing.
Brilliant! Brilliant! BRILLIANT!
Great edit. But this movie had some great music. You should have used that, imho.
Agreed. The music for this film is sublime
Great edit, but I'd prefer you'd use the original music
Should have continued, "...but I am a river to my people". Still, a very good trailer to one of the best movies ever made.
Is this some alternate trailer? It’s well done, but was there a problem with the original one?
