A quasi experimental design was employed with two classes of the ten graders at one school in Bandung selected purposively as sample. The data were obtained through a pre-test, a post-test and an interview. The writing assessment was adopted from Alberta Education (2009) covering organization, and vocabularies. The findings were analyzed statistically using independent t-test procedure and Gebhardt theories on film trailers (2004). The statistical computation showed that film trailer was likely effective in improving the students' writing skill in narrative text (tobt 5.001 > tcrit 2.000, r = 0.63). Furthermore, there were six positive perception of the use of film trailer in writing revealed: writing skills improvement covering context (text structures), organization (idea), and vocabularies; creating challenging atmosphere; inspiring students on writing and increasing students' motivation. In addition, the obstacles found were the duration of film trailer, and native speaker language comprehension. Designing the learning purpose appropriately which considers students' needs and language level may ease teachers to use the film trailers in improving students' writing skills.
