Yes, Harry Knowles of the Ain't It Cool News website visited the set a couple of weeks ago and apparently heard that a trailer might be coming out in about a month. Updated On: 4/23/05 at 11:48 PM
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

What ever movie company is producing RENT, will attach it to one their movies. So which of those movies is produced by whatever moovie comp. is doing RENT?

I would look out for it on House of Wax if any of them. I know they showed that trailer on a TON of Sony movies, so the studios may have a deal or something going on *shrugs*
"There's a butt naked princess, lounging in a bed, calling your name. What exactly didn't you realize? Before our wedding night, pack up some of that dried monkey meat and have the royal cartographer draw you a map of the female body, captain. Maybe then you'll be more inclined to come explore!"
It actually might not be a trailer showing before another Sony movie...There is a trailer for HP4 (under WB Pictures) that is being released during Kicking & Screaming, a New Line Picture...however, both WB & New Line are owned by Time Warner...
Yeah, as of right now I didn't even think they'd have enough edited and public-ready footage to put into a full trailer. I know they've been filming for a while but they still need to clean it up for public viewing etc. So my opinion is that if a trailer does come out in a month or so, it would be a teaser with fairly little actual footage but you never know. I'd be damn excited for anything, that's for sure!
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Everyone is talking about seeing the trailer before the movie, but if any of you have Comcast ON DEMAND you can see a ton of trailers. If you go on ON DEMAND and click on the movies button, then click on the trailers button, they have a bunch of different trailers for movies being released by all the studios. I remember I went there last year and was excited to see the POTO teaser trailer in July. Updated On: 4/24/05 at 11:14 AM
"All the while making faces like a baby platypus who forget to take some Beano before eating a chimichanga." FindingNamo in reference to Jessica Simpson's singing.
Film studios pay to put trailers in front of films not by their production companies. Not a secret - happens all the time.
Still, because the general public doesn't know RENT, I'd imagine HOUSE OF WAX is what will happen. It depends on the marketing strategy.
Another possibility is that it debuts on an entertainment news program, such as ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT or EXTRA. This also happens a lot with teasers, and even full trailers. Happened with the 2003 film PETER PAN.
If it debuts on an entertainment news TV program, this means it'll be online within 3 days after it airs, and 2 weeks later it'll be in theatres.

Sony's next two releases are State of the Union April 29th and Lords of Dogtown June 3rd, but as Capn Hook said, the trailer could appear in front of any film, or on TV first.
House of Wax is probably a good bet, same target audience pretty much. But as most people are saying, it'll probably be a teaser with graphics and voice over, with little or no actual film footage
