| 11 | When a creator is maybe not prominent enough to carry a title on their own, but their work is popular [=and/or=] widely loved enough to mean something, the promoters of their latest project will highlight their track record to sell this new thing to people. Sometimes it does give the audience some clues as to what they might expect -- a signature line, a CreatorCameo, other tropes said creator is known to utilize. Exceedingly common in literature, with the cover frequently advertising something akin to "from the New York Times bestselling author of ''Insert Book Here''." Other common promotions include "by the bestselling author of [[TheFilmOfTheBook the book that was made into a successful movie]]" or even "by the author of the bestselling franchise, of which this book is the next installment". |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Can lead to DirectorDisplacement in films and television when the "creator" is a producer -- as this name immediately becomes associated with the work, people not bothered to look any further than promotional material will only know them as the creator of it and perpetuate both the displacement and the future of works being promoted by their name as they become more spoken of. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Sometimes may be used as a way to PolishTheTurd. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This form of advertising can take many forms: |
| 18 | * '''From the writer/director/creator of'''... |
| 19 | * '''From the studio that brought you'''... |
| 20 | * '''From the producer of'''... - Some people take this as a sign that they had nothing else to sell the audience on than "the guy who said Yes to this film also said Yes to this other film". |
| 21 | * '''From the Award Winning creator of'''... - For when they really want to highlight the creator's prestige. |
| 22 | * '''From the maker/s of'''... - They did something important on that film, had a little involvement with this one. |

| 24 | Compare BilledAboveTheTitle (where the [[{{Creators}} Creator's]] name is displayed more prominently than the title of the work), HeAlsoDid (for when the work is incredibly out of genre for the Creator, but it isn't necessarily advertised), ProductPlacement (where products are advertised by their inclusion in a work), InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt (where the Creator's name is part of the title or {{Tagline}}) and PreviewPiggybacking (where a work advertises an included preview for a much more anticipated work). Contrast CompetingProductPotshot. |

| 31 | |
| 32 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 33 | * Creator/{{Funimation}} uses the "from the studio" variant in quite a few of its trailers, which is odd as it merely licenses and translates released works from a variety of companies. |
| 34 | ** They marketed ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'' as being "from the studio that brought you ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Manga/OnePiece''". All three are action series adapted from Magazine/ShonenJump manga, and have had non-canon [[{{Crossover}} crossovers]] with each other in manga and anime format. |
| 35 | * Creator/FourKidsEntertainment did something similar while it was running, primarily using ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''Anime/YuGiOh''. |
| 36 | * The newest release of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' announces on the box that it's from one of the creators of ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Creator/KunihikoIkuhara. |
| 37 | * ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'' combines this with CoversAlwaysLie: The American poster boasted, "From the director of ''Film/HomeAlone'' and the director of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''," referring to co-screenwriter Creator/ChrisColumbus and either [[Creator/DisneysNineOldMen Frank Thomas or Ollie Johnston]], both of whom advised the animators. None of them directed ''Little Nemo'', or ''Fantasia'' for that matter. |
| 38 | [[/folder]] |
| 39 | |
| 40 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 41 | * ''ComicBook/KullTheConqueror1971'': The comic was originally billed as ''"From the creator of '''Franchise/{{Conan|theBarbarian}}!"''''' on its covers. Creator/RobertEHoward had been dead for thirty years and had nothing to do with the adaptation of his Kull stories, though. |
| 42 | * ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': In-universe, Nick Fury hired Stark for the Ultimates for his incredible Iron Man armor, but also because of his huge popularity, and how some of it could be borrowed by the Ultimates initiative. |

| 45 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 46 | * David Kirschner |
| 47 | ** Advertisements for the film ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' said it was "from the creator of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''". This was possibly done to mislead people into thinking it was a Creator/DonBluth film, which it wasn't; David Kirschner produced both films (and came up with the initial idea for ''An American Tail''). |
| 48 | ** Some of the trailers for ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'' also said "From the creator of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''" at the beginning. It was also produced by Kirschner. |
| 49 | * Most films from producer John H. Williams' animation studio, Creator/VanguardAnimation, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Valiant}}'', ''WesternAnimation/HappilyNEverAfter'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpaceChimps'', have been marketed as being "from the producers of WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}". |
| 50 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' pulled the bait-and-switch version, with advertisements announcing it was "from the director of ''Tim Burton's WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''", naturally leading many people to believe that the movie was by Creator/TimBurton. Actually, it's Henry Selick who directed both movies, and Burton (the producer of ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'') had no involvement in ''Coraline''. |
| 51 | * Trailers for ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' emphasized that it was by Creator/TimBurton, sometimes to the point of saying little about the film beyond that it existed. |
| 52 | * Creator/DreamWorksAnimation movies are often advertised this way, referencing previous [=DreamWorks=] {{All CGI Cartoon}}s, ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' being usually one of them. |
| 53 | * Ads for Creator/{{Pixar}} movies use the "From the studio that brought you..." version of this trope. It's typically ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' (their first feature-length movie) and their most recent successful movie they put on the poster. |
| 54 | ** The official trailer for ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' uses ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' which is appropriate since it deals with emotions and the giant red panda transformation is essentially a superpower. |
| 55 | * Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationStudios often plays up their brand in lieu of specific film association, by putting random movie clips in their trailers. ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' began Disney's habit of association in the trailers ("Now, Creator/WaltDisney brings you his first and only full-length feature since ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|and the Seven Dwarfs}}''."), and ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' was their first film to begin associating specific movies in its posters ("Greatest since ''Snow White''"). Starting at UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, Disney also sometimes promotes their movies as coming "from the creators of [insert something else with the same directors]," or, for some musicals, by name-dropping another hit with at least one of the same songwriters (For instance, ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' both received trailers announcing, "Featuring six new songs from the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning [[Music/AlanMenken composer]] of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}''!"). |
| 56 | * Played for laughs in the first trailer for ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie'', where the trailer lists [[OverlyLongGag every]] live-action Franchise/{{Batman}} movie ever made (by Creator/WarnerBros, anyway)... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''. |
| 57 | * Adverts for ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'' said it was "from the creators of WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit". |
| 58 | * The posters and trailers for the ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' movies have a tendency to advertise them as being from the same person who created ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf''. |
| 59 | * One 2002 VHS commercial for ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel'' first advertises the success of the previous DirectToVideo Franchise/{{Barbie}} film, ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker'' before hyping up ''Barbie as Rapunzel'', and offers a special deal to get the two bundled together. |
| 60 | * For ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', early previews began by recounting Disney's "tradition of innovation" in animation -- with help from excerpts of ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', and ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' -- before announcing that the studio had collaborated with "Creator/TimBurton, the creative genius behind ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'', ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'', and ''Film/EdwardScissorhands''" to produce a similarly-large achievement for stop-motion. |
| 61 | * When ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout2005'' was retooled for American audiences as ''Doogal'', a trailer promoted it as "From the creator of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''". Creator/ButchHartman did contribute to the script rewrites, but very little of his script made the final cut, and any other resemblance to his work in the film is coincidental at best. |
| 62 | [[/folder]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 65 | * Creator/EdgarWright |
| 66 | ** ''Film/{{Sightseers}}'' is "From the makers of ''Film/HotFuzz'', ''Film/{{Paul}}'' & ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead''". Of course, Wright only [[{{Producers}} produced]] this film, not wrote and directed it. Note that ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'' isn't on that list because, though complete, it hadn't been released yet and that ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' isn't because the film was targeted at British audiences, the genre of the film is much more like the ''Film/ThreeFlavoursCornettoTrilogy'', RuleOfThree, and the marketing department may have wanted to noncommittally suggest that Creator/SimonPegg and Nick Frost would be in it. |
| 67 | ** The DVD case of ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' also reminds you that it's "[[AC:from the director of Film/ShaunOfTheDead and Film/HotFuzz]]". |
| 68 | * The tagline poster for ''Film/{{Mama}}'' says that it's "Presented by Creator/GuillermoDelToro, Creator of Film/PansLabyrinth". What they mean by that is that del Toro is only the Executive Producer. |
| 69 | * Advertisements for ''Film/TheInterview'' said it was "From the Western capitalist pigs who brought you ''Film/{{Neighbors|2014}}'' and ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd''". |
| 70 | * Creator/JohnLandis. The poster for ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' proclaimed "From the director of ''Film/AnimalHouse''...A different kind of animal." |
| 71 | * ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' was proudly declared as coming "From {{Creator/Hasbro}}, the company that brought you ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}''", despite both films actually being made by separate studios. [[note]]Hasbro's film division at the time just developed the concepts for other studios. Also, they didn't create the original Battleship game, they just bought out the owners.[[/note]] |
| 72 | * When the [[Film/LandOfTheLost movie remake of ''Land of the Lost'']] came out in 2009, Universal Studios released the [[BigDamnMovie 1970 movie adaptation]] of ''Series/HRPufnstuf'', on DVD, which contained a blurb on top of the front cover stating, "From the Producers of ''Land of the Lost''" (Even though [[Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions Sid & Marty Krofft]] completely created both series). |
| 73 | * ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' |
| 74 | ** The reboot of ''Film/TheLoneRanger'' had trailers boasting that it was from producers Creator/JerryBruckheimer and Creator/GoreVerbinski, the people behind ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. But instead of stating that outright, they just show the ''Pirates'' logo. |
| 75 | ** Trailers for ''Film/KingArthur2004'' said "From Creator/JerryBruckheimer, the producer of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''". |
| 76 | * The 2015 ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'' film's trailer and poster promote "From the studio that brought you ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''", though oddly not emphasizing that they shared a writer and producer (Simon Kinberg). |
| 77 | ** ''Film/Deadpool2'' was advertised as being "From the studio that [[Film/{{Logan}} killed Wolverine]]." |
| 78 | * ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'': |
| 79 | ** Prior to the release of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', Creator/MarvelStudios was mainly known as "the studio that made ''Film/IronMan1''", a connection they very much played up in the marketing for ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. Commercials for the former film featured the bit where S.H.I.E.L.D. agents mistake the Destroyer for a Stark Industries weapon, and commercials for the latter played up Howard Stark's role in the creation of Captain America, with Dr. Erskine's "Now, Mr. Stark!" line featured prominently. |
| 80 | ** After the release of ''The Avengers'' in 2012 it became common for Marvel movies to play up the connection with that movie, particularity in commercials for origin films like ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' and ''Film/AntMan1'' (with the latter film name dropping the team in the trailers). It wasn't until ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' that the films started playing up the franchise as a whole in marketing as opposed to any individual past film. |
| 81 | * The 2015 film ''Film/JemAndTheHolograms2015'' says in the trailer that it's "From the studio[[note]]Acting here solely as distributor[[/note]] that brought you ''Film/PitchPerfect'' and the director of ''Never Say Never''." |
| 82 | * ''Film/TopSecret'' is "From the makers of the original ''Film/{{Airplane}}''", followed by a footnote stating "(Not the Wright Brothers)". |
| 83 | * The DVD cases of both ''Film/{{Django}}'' and ''Film/TheIngloriousBastards'' -- the originals from [[SpaghettiWestern the 1960s]] -- have the directors' names (Sergio Corbucci and Enzo Castellari, respectively) in tiny font, but say "The film that inspired Creator/QuentinTarantino" for ''Film/DjangoUnchained'' and ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' respectively in massive letters. |
| 84 | * ''Film/TheMinistryOfUngentlemanlyWarfare'': The release poster mentions "From the director of ''Film/{{Sherlock Holmes|2009}}'' and the producer of ''Film/TopGunMaverick''". |
| 85 | * ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' had the possibly-unique "from the ''marketing visionary'' who brought you ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}''". The movie currently holds the record for worst box office returns for a widely released movie. |
| 86 | * The first trailer for ''Film/ANewHope'' said "20th Century Fox and Creator/GeorgeLucas, the man who brought you ''Film/AmericanGraffiti'' now bring you... |
| 87 | * [[Creator/BlumhouseProductions Blumhouse]] movies also advertise the movie as their produced work, such as: |
| 88 | ** ''Film/TruthOrDare2018'', ''Film/UnfriendedDarkWeb'': "From the producer of ''Film/GetOut2017'', ''Film/ThePurge'' and ''Film/HappyDeathDay''." |
| 89 | ** ''Film/{{Ma}}'': "From Blumhouse, the producer of ''Film/GetOut2017'', ''Film/TheVisit'' & ''Film/HappyDeathDay''." |
| 90 | ** ''Film/BlackChristmas2019'', ''Film/FantasyIsland2020'': "From the producer of ''Film/GetOut2017'' and ''Film/Halloween2018''." |
| 91 | ** ''Film/TheCraftLegacy'': "From the producer of ''Film/TheInvisibleMan2020'' and ''Film/{{Split}}''." |
| 92 | ** ''Film/RunSweetheartRun'': "From the producer of ''Film/ThePurge'', ''Film/TheInvisibleMan2020'', and ''Film/{{Ma}}''." |
| 93 | * The trailer and poster for ''Film/TheDarkestMinds'' advertise the film as being from the producers of ''Series/StrangerThings'' and ''Film/{{Arrival}}''. |
| 94 | * Trailers for ''Film/MortalEngines'' advertise the film as being from the filmmakers of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Film/TheHobbit''. |
| 95 | * ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'': "What else did you expect from the director of ''Film/{{Clerks}}''?" |
| 96 | * ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'': "From [[Creator/TimBurton the director]] of ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure''..." |
| 97 | * Creator/DavidCronenberg examples (note that his films often have used InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt in promotional campaigns from ''Dead Ringers'' onwards) include: |
| 98 | ** ''Film/{{Videodrome}}'' was promoted as "A shocking new vision from the creator of ''Film/{{Scanners}}''". |
| 99 | ** ''Film/DeadRingers'''s promotional campaign played with this in that it positioned the film as the SpiritualAntithesis of Cronenberg's ''Film/TheFly1986'' (since it's more PsychologicalThriller than BodyHorror). For instance, the trailer features the narration "From David Cronenberg, who in ''The Fly'' made the fantastic real...now, David Cronenberg makes reality the ultimate fantasy." It also RecycledTrailerMusic from the previous film. |
| 100 | ** ''Film/ADangerousMethod'''s poster referenced ''Film/AHistoryOfViolence'' and ''Film/EasternPromises'', both of which also starred Creator/ViggoMortensen. |
| 101 | * ''Film/ArmyOfTheDead'': The trailer has "From Creator/ZackSnyder - Director of ''Film/ThreeHundred'', ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/{{Dawn of the Dead|2004}}''". |
| 102 | * ''Film/{{Reminiscence}}'' is advertised as "From the co-creator of Series/{{Westworld}}". |
| 103 | * ''Film/{{Peninsula}}'' is known in some territories as ''Film/TrainToBusan Presents: Peninsula''. |
| 104 | * The British DVD of the gross-out horror film ''Film/{{Braindead}}'' has "From the Director of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]] Creator/{{PETER JACKSON}}" at the top of the cover. ''Braindead'' is very much by Jackson, but it was also made before he hit the big time. |
| 105 | * ''Film/BulletTrain'' - “From the director of ''Film/Deadpool2''.” That director being David Leitch, of course. |
| 106 | ** Also he acted as producer at ''Film/ViolentNight'' trailer: "From the producer of ''Film/{{Nobody}}'' and ''Film/BulletTrain''. |
| 107 | * The trailer for ''Film/{{Men}}'' mentions that director/writer Creator/AlexGarland also directed ''Film/ExMachina'' and ''Film/Annihilation2018''. |
| 108 | * One [[https://youtu.be/U_-md5pebwI trailer]] for the 1949 rerelease of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' boasts, "Produced by the producer of ''Film/{{Little Women|1933}}''" and "Directed by [[Creator/VictorFleming the director]] of ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''". |
| 109 | * ''Film/DontBreathe2'': "From producer Fede Alverez, director of ''Film/EvilDead2013'' and ''Film/DontBreathe''." |
| 110 | * ''Film/TheGuilty2021'': "From Creator/AntoineFuqua, director of ''Film/TrainingDay'' and ''Film/TheEqualizer'', and Nic Pizzolatto, writer of ''Series/TrueDetective''." |
| 111 | * ''Film/{{Barbarian}}'': "From a producer of ''Film/It2017'' and the executive producer of ''Film/TheGrudge'' and ''Literature/TheRing''." |
| 112 | * ''Film/{{M3gan}}'': "From Creator/JamesWan, producer of ''Film/{{Annabelle}}'', and [[Creator/BlumhouseProductions Blumhouse]], producer of ''Film/TheBlackPhone''." |
| 113 | * ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'': "Creator/TriStarPictures announces the collaboration of three extraordinary talents: Creator/JimHenson, creator of Franchise/TheMuppets and ''[[Film/TheDarkCrystal Dark Crystal]]'', Creator/GeorgeLucas, creator of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' saga, and one of the most innovative forces in modern entertainment, Music/DavidBowie." |
| 114 | * "''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' is an Creator/IanFleming story, born as [[Film/JamesBond Bond]] was making screen history." |
| 115 | * ''Film/TheApartment'' advertisements boasted that it shares a director with ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'', Creator/BillyWilder.[[note]]They also share two writers, Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, and a lead actor, Creator/JackLemmon.[[/note]] |
| 116 | * ''Film/TheGoreGoreGirls:'' The poster says "Special effects by the same perverted madmen who brought you ''Film/BloodFeast'' -- ''Film/TwoThousandManiacs'' -- ''The Gruesome Twosome'' " |
| 117 | * The ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' teaser and TV spots name-drop some hits that Creator/StevenSpielberg and Creator/GeorgeLucas individually directed or wrote, such as ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' and ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]''. |
| 118 | * ''Film/GreatestDays'' was advertised as "From the writer of ''Film/CalendarGirls''". |
| 119 | * ''Film/MaryPoppins'': The teaser for the world premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater has Creator/WaltDisney and theater manager Bob Selig wax nostalgia for the ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' roadshow run, before Selig declares that ''Mary Poppins'' has topped it as Walt's best movie. |
| 120 | * The trailer for 2023's ''Film/{{Napoleon|2023}}'' mentions "From Creator/RidleyScott, the acclaimed director of ''Film/{{Alien}}'', ''Film/BladeRunner'', ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', ''Film/BlackHawkDown'', ''Film/AmericanGangster'', ''Film/TheMartian''". |
| 121 | * Advertising for ''Film/WomenTalking'' boasted the film being "from the producers of ''Film/{{Moonlight|2016}}'' and ''Film/{{Nomadland}}''", respectively referring to Plan B Entertainment (Creator/BradPitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner) and [[ProducedByCastMember the film's costar]] Creator/FrancesMcDormand. |
| 122 | * ''Film/StateFair'': Advertisements for the musical retellings name-drop Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein's biggest Broadway hits: ''Theatre/{{Oklahoma}}'' and ''Theatre/{{Carousel}}'' in 1945, and ''Oklahoma!'', ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'', ''Theatre/SouthPacific'', and ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'' in 1962. |
| 123 | * The original ads for ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'' advertised it as being "from the pen of Pierre Boulle, author of ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai''". This was pretty unusual considering how different the film was from Boulle’s [[Literature/PlanetOfTheApes original novel]]. |

| 131 | ** ''Literature/EarthIsRoomEnough'': One of the {{tagline}}s for the 1960 Panther cover references ''Literature/TheCurrentsOfSpace'' and ''Literature/TheCavesOfSteel''. |

| 137 | * Creator/JanetAsimov's ''Literature/MindTransfer'': Beneath the [[BilledAboveTheTitle author's name]], the cover points out that she is the co-author of ''Literature/TheNorbyChronicles'' and ''Literature/NorbyRobotForHire''. |
| 138 | * Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/JanetAsimov's ''Literature/TheNorbyChronicles'': |
| 139 | ** The cover of the first {{Omnibus}} edition, ''The Norby Chronicles'', mentions that Dr Asimov is also the author of ''Literature/TheRobotsOfDawn''. |
| 140 | ** The cover of the second {{Omnibus}} edition, ''Norby, Robot for Hire'', mentions that Dr Asimov is also the author of ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire''. |

| 143 | * Creator/TerryBrooks: The novelization of ''{{Film/Hook}}'' proudly advertised on the top of the cover, "From the Bestselling Author of ''[[Literature/TheHeritageOfShannara The Druid of Shannara]]''". The first printing even had the ''Druid'' title in '''BOLD ALL-CAPS''' and almost as large as the actual ''Hook'' title; subsequent printings shrunk the blurb down to just the top edge of the cover. |
| 144 | * Creator/JohnLChapman's "Literature/CrystalWorlds" was published in ''Magazine/CosmicStories'' referencing "Literature/LunarGun" and "Literature/AnothersEyes", previous works by Chapman. |
| 145 | * Creator/CecilCorwin: "Literature/TheReversibleRevolutions" was published in ''Magazine/CosmicStories'' referencing "[[Literature/ThirteenOClock Thirteen O'Clock]]" and "The Fly-By-Nights", previous works by Corwin. %%"The Fly-By-Nights" story appears to not exist. |

| 149 | * Creator/ErinHunter: The three series ''[[Literature/SeekerBears Seekers]]'', ''[[Literature/SurvivorDogs Survivors]]'', and ''Literature/{{Bravelands}}'' are advertised as "From the author of the #1 nationally bestselling ''[[Literature/WarriorCats Warriors]]'' series" right on the covers. For ''Survivors'', fans consider this rather misleading: while ''Warriors'' and ''Seekers'' have shared the same group of writers and editors under the pen name Hunter for a decade, ''Survivors'' has an entirely new team and isn't connected to any of the people responsible for the other two series. |
| 150 | * Creator/ELJames: ''Literature/TheMister'', her first non-''Fifty Shades'' novel, was marketed as being from "the author of ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''", which is also mentioned on the cover. |

| 160 | * Creator/FredSaberhagen wrote the {{Novelization}} of [[RecursiveAdaptation the film]] ''Film/BramStokersDracula''.

| 163 | * The first Corgi paperback covers of Creator/TerryPratchett's early sf novels ''Literature/{{Strata}}'' and ''Literature/TheDarkSideOfTheSun'' advertised "Unparalleled science fiction from the author of the Literature/{{Discworld}} novels". Later cover designs with the same artwork don't, Terry's success having reached the point where few people familiar with Discworld would need reminded who he was. |
| 164 | * Creator/JohnSwartzwelder's self-published novels all have "By the Writer of 59 Episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''" on the front of them. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | !!!Works by an editor/author, but another author is advertised: |
| 167 | * ''Literature/MastersOfHorrorAndTheSupernaturalTheGreatTales'': Creator/StephenKing, one of the biggest names in the {{Horror}} genre, wrote the introduction, and this gets advertised on every front cover. |
| 168 | * ''Literature/ScienceFictionVerhalen'': One of covers for volume 4, containing stories by Creator/JohnWyndham, has a {{tagline}} that references Wyndham's other stories, such as ''Literature/TheChrysalids'', ''Literature/TheDayOfTheTriffids'', ''Literature/TheMidwichCuckoos'', ''{{Literature/Chocky}}'', and ''Literature/TheKrakenWakes''. |

| 172 | * Creator/{{NBC}}'s premiere episode of ''Series/OneVersusOneHundred'' introduced the show as "from the producers of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal''". |
| 173 | * Creator/{{FOX}}'s summer 2015 game show ''Series/{{Boom}}'' is being advertised as "from the creators of ''Series/{{Wipeout|2008}}''." |
| 174 | * Creator/RyanMurphy's ''Series/{{Scream Queens|2015}}'' is "from the creators of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' and ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''." All three do [[ProductionPosse share the same crew]], nearly in its entirety, as well as a mix of the casts of both shows. |
| 175 | * ''Series/{{Oobi}}'' was advertised as featuring "furless" Muppets due to its vast amount of connections to ''Series/SesameStreet''. |
| 176 | * Early promos for Creator/TheWB's ''Series/UnhappilyEverAfter'' said that "The creator of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' picks up where marriage leaves off." |
| 177 | * ''Series/TheLastOfUs2023'' trailer plays up the involvement of Creator/CraigMazin, who was responsible for the hit miniseries ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}''. [[https://www.hbo.com/the-last-of-us The website]] also associates co-developer Neil Druckmann with ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' and the original ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' video games. |

| 179 | |
| 180 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 181 | * News articles about I AM I's lead singer, ZP Theart, tend to introduce him as ''Music/DragonForce'''s ex-singer. |
| 182 | * Recent ''no-man'' albums tend to include a sticker that says: "no-man are: steven wilson ([[Music/PorcupineTree porcupine tree]]) and tim bowness". Which is ironic considering that Wilson [[MagnumOpusDissonance considers no-man his main project]]. |
| 183 | [[/folder]] |
| 184 | |
| 185 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 186 | * Card games published by International Games Inc. and Mattel all have the inset "From the [[TabletopGame/MakersOfUno Makers of UNO]]" on the game's box. While most games are unrelated to ''TabletopGame/{{Uno}}'', it does help distinguish SimilarlyNamedWorks, such as the game ''DOS'' (the official sequel to ''Uno'') from ''DOS!: Twice the fun of UNO'' (a word and drawing card game). |
| 187 | [[/folder]] |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 190 | * The packaging of the first wave of ''Toys/HeroFactory'' sets had a label boasting "From the makers of ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}''!" |
| 191 | * ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'' have labels on the top of their pegs with "From the makers of ''Toys/TheTrashPack''!" on them. Before their official release, both ''The Trash Pack'' and ''Toys/{{Shopkins}}'' [=YouTube=] channels aired crossover promotions for ''The Grossery Gang''. |

| 194 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 195 | * ''VideoGame/Back4Blood'' was advertised as being "from the creators of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''". |
| 196 | * The original ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' virtual pet toys had text on the packaging saying they're from the makers of ''Toys/{{Tamagotchi}}'', which ''Digimon'' was developed as a SpearCounterpart to. |
| 197 | * ''VideoGame/{{Dizzy}}: The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure'' was originally promoted with this caption: "By the Oliver Twins, authors of ''Grand Prix Simulator!''" |
| 198 | * ''VideoGame/DynastyWars'''s North American flyer proudly promotes it as "from the creators of ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' and ''VideoGame/BlackTiger''". |
| 199 | * The trailer for ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'' makes a big deal of the fact that Tango Gameworks exclusively worked on horror games before it, presenting it as "from the makers of ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'' (seriously) and the makers of ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin2'' (naturally)." |
| 200 | * ''VideoGame/{{Judas|GhostStoryGames}}'': The announcement trailer proclaims that the game is from the creator of ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}''. |
| 201 | * The box to ''VideoGame/LittleDragonsCafe'' mentions that it was "created by Yasuhiro Wada, the imagination behind the original ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' game". Wada did create [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon1 the first title]] in that series and he worked on the franchise until he split off during the DS era. In ''Little Dragons Cafe'''s case, at least it is [[CreatorDrivenSuccessor very much]] in the spirit of ''Harvest Moon'' (but without the dating element). |
| 202 | * ''VideoGame/LunarKnights'' was marketed in North America as being "From the creators of the '''''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Metal Gear Solid]]''''' series" below a Creator/KojimaProductions logo at the upper-left corner of the cover art. Creator/HideoKojima did not actually direct the game, as he just served as the producer. |
| 203 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAgEmdFuOuE The first teaser]] for ''VideoGame/MasterDetectiveArchivesRainCode'', then originally named ''Enigma Archives: Rain Code'', points out that the game is "brought to you by the creative team behind ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}". |
| 204 | * ''VideoGame/NinjaShadowOfDarkness'' is advertised as "from the creators of ''Franchise/TombRaider''", that is Core Design (although the teams for each were mostly different). |
| 205 | * The American cover art for ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever'''s [=GameCube=] port displays a symbol in the corner saying it's from the creators of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. |
| 206 | * ''VideoGame/Rage2011''[='=]s box points out that it's "from the creators of ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}''". |
| 207 | * The debut trailer for ''VideoGame/TheOuterWorlds'' points out that its a game from the creators of ''VideoGame/Fallout1'' and ''[[VideoGame/Fallout2 2]]'' and [[Creator/ObsidianEntertainment the development studio]] who created ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. Justified as the game is a CreatorDrivenSuccessor to ''Fallout'', only [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace in outer space]]. It was also seen as a jab at the company who currently owns the ''Fallout'' brand. |
| 208 | * ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' was promoted in a later pre-release trailer as being developed by ''"[[Creator/EpicGames the creators]] of ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''"''. |

| 213 | * ''WebAnimation/DrHavocsDiary'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBCMmYI2BB0 Is advertised as]] "from the guys who brought you ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool''". |
| 214 | [[/folder]] |
| 215 | |
| 216 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 217 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdaTwistScientist'' and ''WesternAnimation/RidleyJones'' were advertised as "from the same creators as ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}''", since the show is headed by Chris Nee. |
| 218 | * ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai'': Both the official trailers and posters claim that the show is made by the writer of ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and ''Film/BladeRunner2049''. |
| 219 | * When ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' got its first promo, the creators of ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddparents'' were mentioned. |
| 220 | * The teaser trailer for ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'' advertised the series being from the head writers and director of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. |
| 221 | * This was this reason that ''WesternAnimation/FatherOfThePride'' caught the ire of the [[MoralGuardians Parents Television Council]]; ads for the show cited [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation its studio]] as the creators of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', which they felt would mislead kid/family audiences into watching a show that was most decidedly ''[[AnimatedShockComedy not]]'' aimed at such. |
| 222 | * The promos for ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' say it's "from the team that brought you ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''". |
| 223 | * ''WesternAnimation/ParadisePD'' advertised itself as "from the twisted minds that brought you ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}''". |
| 224 | * ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'''s trailer states that this show is "from the team that brought you ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman''". |

| 226 | |
| 227 | !!Parodies: |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 230 | * The first paragraph of ''Super Fanfic/PaperMarioX'' starts with a "Creator of" example, like a trailer for a movie, but a RecordNeedleScratch occurs halfway through, with the author assuring that "this is not a movie." |
| 231 | [[/folder]] |
| 232 | |
| 233 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 234 | * Parodied by the 2007 Spanish-Italian animated film ''Donkey Xote''. The film had a lot of [[FollowTheLeader similarities]] with ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', bordering on plagiarism. Its creators lampshaded this, promoting the film as "From the producers who ''saw'' Shrek". |
| 235 | [[/folder]] |
| 236 | |
| 237 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 238 | * Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg advertised ''Film/DateMovie'', among others, as produced by "two of the six writers of ''Film/ScaryMovie''." |
| 239 | * The trailer for ''Film/DudleyDoRight'': "From [[Creator/JayWard the creator]] of ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', and [[Creator/BrendanFraser the star]] of ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', and [[Creator/HughWilson the acclaimed director]]... [[BaitAndSwitch who saw]] ''George of the Jungle'', comes a new kind of hero." |
| 240 | * A trailer for ''Film/Deadpool2'' advertises it as "from [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox the studio]] that brought you ''Film/TwentySevenDresses'' and ''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada''" - i.e. films that are very much the opposite of a action superhero comedy. |
| 241 | ** The second trailer takes things further by adding "from the studio that [[spoiler:[[Film/{{Logan}} killed Wolverine]]]]". |
| 242 | * The first trailer for ''Film/FreeGuy'', another Creator/RyanReynolds action-comedy, begins with one of these... but instead of naming other Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox films, it names the movies of studio owner Creator/{{Disney}} instead (namely ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''), and ending it with [[Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes "Twice"]]. |
| 243 | * ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' advertising used the director's name only, as he didn't really have any similar films with which to draw favorable comparisons. Fans, on the other hand, were happy to point out that the movie about Australian madmen driving the awesomest {{weaponized car}}s this side of ''{{TabletopGame/Gorkamorka}}'' was "From the director of ''WesternAnimation/HappyFeet'' and ''{{Film/Babe}}''." |
| 244 | * ''Film/TheHappytimeMurders'' was "From the studio that got sued by ''Series/SesameStreet''", a reference to the fact that Sesame Workshop sued the filmmakers for the tagline "No Sesame. All Street." |
| 245 | [[/folder]] |
| 246 | |
| 247 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 248 | * ''Series/NotNecessarilyTheNews'' once ran a clip of fireworks set to orchestral music while an announcer delivered a bombastic introduction one word at a time. "From! The makers! Of! [[Film/PoliceAcademy Police! Academy! 2!]] Comes!" Cut to an all black screen, music stops. "Nothing of importance." |
| 249 | * ''Series/MockTheWeek'', during a "Scenes We'd Like To See" round, with the category being "Unlikely film trailers": |
| 250 | -->'''Rob Beckett''': From the director of ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman V Superman]]'', [[TakeThat a heartfelt letter of apology for wasting our time.]] |
| 251 | [[/folder]] |
| 252 | |
| 253 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 254 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': The ''VideoGame/PeasantsQuest'' preview advertises it as being "from the company that made that game ''Trogdor'', and that game ''Rabbit Algebra''". (''Trogdor'' was already a playable game on the website, but ''Rabbit Algebra'' was made up as a joke just for this trailer and was never playable.) |
| 255 | * In ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded''[='s=] ''Film/ManOfSteel'' Superhero Cafe short, Batman points out how prominently Creator/ChristopherNolan's name was in the trailer, especially since this is the only reason they really list producers. Superman insists that's not why people are excited. |
| 256 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Japanoschlampen}}'' advertises the video game ''[[UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000 Ninja Shotgun Gemetzel]] [[RuleOfThree 3]]'' as from the makers of ''Ninja Shotgun Gemetzel'', ''Ninja Shotgun Gemetzel 2'' and ''[[UltraSuperHappyCuteBabyFestFarmer3000 Cutie Eichhörnchens]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Abenteuerländ]]''. |
| 257 | [[/folder]] |
| 258 | |
| 259 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 260 | * ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' will frequently lampoon this. |
| 261 | ** Examples include describing ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy as "From the director of the ''Film/KingKong'' Universal Studios ride", or ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'' as "From the director of all those Creator/RussellCrowe movies you never saw, and the writer of ''Series/{{Lost}}''[[spoiler:'s unsatisfying final episode]]". |
| 262 | ** Creator/MNightShyamalan's ''Film/AfterEarth'' is "From the director of... Oh God, not him again." |
| 263 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' is "From [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation the studio]] that brought you the DreamWorksFace." |
| 264 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' uses TheTriple: "From [[Creator/{{Disney}} the studio]] that brought you ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheStoryOfMenstruation''. |
| 265 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'' is "From [[Creator/RudyardKipling the author]] of ''Literature/RikkiTikkiTavi'' and ''The White Man's Burden''? (Uh oh.)" |
| 266 | ** The trailer for ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' does this with Creator/{{Sony}}'s recent business mishaps. |
| 267 | --->'''Narrator:''' From the studio that just [[Film/TheInterview got hacked by North Korea]], [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse lost creative control of]] Franchise/SpiderMan, might lose Franchise/JamesBond, and couldn't even keep Creator/AdamSandler happy,[[note]]Referring to Sandler singing a multi-picture deal with Creator/{{Netflix}}[[/note]] comes this [[TemptingFate surefire hit to put them back on track]]. |
| 268 | --->''(cut to a montage of various negative comments on a video of film's trailer)'' |
| 269 | --->'''Narrator:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no.]] |
| 270 | * During the ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', while joking about how ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' flaunts "From the company that brought you Transformers", they come up with a better tagline: "From the language that brought you Hamlet". |
| 271 | * {{Discussed|Trope}} by Yahtzee Croshaw in his series ''WebVideo/JudgingByTheCover'' during his critique of the poster for ''Film/FantasticFour2015''. |
| 272 | -->'''Yahtzee:''' I love it when film marketers have to fall back on "from the studio that brought you". The usual starting point in the quality-by-AssociationFallacy is "from the director that brought you", followed by "from the producer that brought you", which is desperate in itself, and this is the final resort: a small handful of the guys involved in the creation of an unrelated good thing work in the same building as us, and you never know, maybe we caught some talent off the toilet seats." |

| 274 | |
| 275 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 276 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' |
| 277 | ** The episode "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" parodies this by having its opening caption read "From the Network that Brought You ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''." (They could have made a big deal out of Creator/MattGroening's name being on the cover of both shows, but they offer their then-shared home on Creator/{{Fox}} as the key similarity instead.) |
| 278 | ** "A Head in the Polls" has "From the Makers of ''[[ShapedLikeItself Futurama]]''". |
| 279 | * Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', in an unaired cutaway gag from season 9, "Road to the North Pole". |
| 280 | -->'''Stewie:''' ''[to Brian]'' You tried to trick me! Like those commercials for upcoming movies.\ |
| 281 | ''[cut to Stewie watching TV in the living room]''\ |
| 282 | '''Announcer:''' This summer, from the guys who brought you ''Film/{{Superbad}}'' comes a hilarious new comedy.\ |
| 283 | '''Stewie:''' Uh, I hate when they do that. Which guy? You know it could be the writers or the guys in the wardrobe department, they don't specify.\ |
| 284 | ''[Stewie changes the channel]''\ |
| 285 | '''Announcer:''' From the studio that brought you ''Film/WeddingCrashers''.\ |
| 286 | '''Stewie:''' Uh, who cares? It's sure a broad association.\ |
| 287 | ''[Stewie changes the channel]''\ |
| 288 | '''Announcer:''' From the species that brought you ''[[Film/TalladegaNightsTheBalladOfRickyBobby Talladega Nights]]''.\ |
| 289 | '''Stewie:''' Oh what, humans? Who else is making movies?\ |
| 290 | '''Announcer:''' From the same molecular elements that brought you ''Film/ForgettingSarahMarshall''.\ |
| 291 | '''Stewie:''' What?\ |
| 292 | '''Announcer:''' ...and air!\ |
| 293 | '''Stewie:''' Fuck off! |
| 294 | * Parodied in the "WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa [[SpinOffBabies Babies]]" segment with "From the [[Creator/CartoonNetwork network]] that brought you ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''." |
| 295 | * ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': A sketch from "Things Look Bad for the Streepster" features a trailer for ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros The Smashing]] [[Film/TheHungerGames Games]]'', which says it's "From the studio that brought you ''VideoGame/MarioIsMissing'' and ''[[VideoGame/GameAndWatch Donkey Kong Hockey]]''. |
