I also recently saw this trailer and simply assumed that the typeface used was Sweet Sans Heavy. I was wrong.

The closest I got on this is Sackers Gothic Heavy. The apostrophe and quotes don't match at all but the basic lettering is pretty close. Of course, we're looking for something much bolder, here.

Yes, similar, but not it.

The "A" in my sample is super closed up top. Reminds me of that very dark slanted font Verizon has been using. What was that one?

Closest match I could find (and it isn't spot-on) is Parachute's Highway Sans:
