Below is the French promo trailer for THE BRIDGE.
Unless you understand French, the audio just sounds like blah, blah, Frank Leo, blah, blah, The Bridge :)

Below is a recap of the 2-hour pilot episode from E1, one of the producers of THE BRIDGE.

At time stamp 0:52 (Frank talking to reporters), is one of the scenes (that I mentioned in the CTV vs CBS comparison post) that wasn’t in the CBS version of the pilot.

video description: Inspired by the insights of a former police union head, The Bridge peels away the veneer of a big-city police force to reveal the political machinations underneath. As Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) battles to bridge the gap between right and wrong in the force, he walks a fine line between supporting his union members and pleasing the politically-motivated chiefs in a corrupt police department.

Below is the SET (Sony Entertainment Television) promo for THE BRIDGE in South Africa. The Bridge premiered in South Africa on Thursday July 1st, 2010 @ 8:30pm.

Below is the CBS Promo for the premiere of THE BRIDGE.
The Bridge premieres on CBS on Saturday July 10th, 2010 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT)

Video Description: When dedicated street cop Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) learns that there will be no police funeral for his fallen training officer and that his fellow officers are being railroaded for using excessive force, he stages a walkout. Motivated by the pressure of “the brass” who want to bring him down, Frank becomes the head of the police union and fights to bring more protection to the cops on the street; however, unbeknownst to Frank, another fellow officer is involved in a series of drug-deal rip-offs, on the two-hour series premiere of THE BRIDGE

Airs: Saturday, July 10th, 2010 (8pm-10pm, ET/PT) on CBS.

My friend spacepug records all the Aaron/The Bridge related items for me that air on Canadian tv. The above commercial aired during last weeks episode of The Bridge. I saw a couple of the ‘red background CTV commercials’ last week for ‘Ghost Whisperer’ and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and I was hoping they had also done one for The Bridge. Yay CTV :)

Here is the extended version of the trailer for THE BRIDGE. It is exactly the same as the original one except for the voice over at the start (on this one).

It is the role of the police to protect society – but who is there to protect them? The police union has become powerless against the politically-motivated police department and street cop Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas) is sick of it. By popular vote Frank becomes president of the 8000 strong police union but makes many powerful enemies in the department along the way.

Inspired by the insights of a former police union head, The Bridge lays bare Frank’s struggles – he not only battles criminals on the street but sometimes his own bosses and police force corruption, in order to protect his fellow officers and ultimately society.

THE BRIDGE will air on CBS in the USA and on CTV in Canada.

Thanks to Aaron, here is the preview trailer for THE BRIDGE.
