The trailer visuals didn’t bother me nearly as much as it seems to bother others. It’s never going to look like Hal Prince’s brilliant staging, so I’m OK with it looking a little bit more like Mamma Mia! Here I Go Again, ha! I’m just happy (most of) the story is being told. 
 

That being said… My number one trailer pet peeve was utilized with the constant pounding drums trying to build momentum throughout. Why does every trailer have to use those damn things?

It definitely looks edited to appeal to musical fans, more than emphasizing the grittier elements. And that makes sense. Basically, the trailer says, Come see J Lo in a Chicago-like musical. And if that is what someone wants, it sells it!

Question about the color talk: what do you mean by it capturing classic technicolor, but this looking just saturated? Did the different movies each have different color grading?

I won’t judge it until I see it, but J Lo seems like J Lo. She doesn’t seem like a character. Also her voice sounds different. I sense it has been quite altered especially if she is belting (she can’t belt.) 

Having just seen Shakira I think she’d make a better Aurora.

It was very punchy and grainy like you were watching an old film. You can still see on the movie sequences that the frame is actually taken in from the regular size.

There's one shot in the trailer of Tonatiuh on a stage as a sheer curtain opens in front of many glamorous women–

Does this mean that Dressing Them Up is, in fact, in the film? I recall that early reports from the film festival said this song was cut.

The song is cut and is now a short monologue where he tells the same story of working at Montoya's. It's been a year and some change but they might have had Dressing Them Up underscoring the scene. But the cut I saw, it wasn't there.

Nope. If I'm remembering correctly, that shot is from the top of Only in the Movies

That was a pretty nice teaser all things considered. Lopez looks and sounds great, and the musical numbers seem to have a refreshing, old-fashioned style to them; honestly, I might check this out in theaters when it releases in October. Thank goodness that both Bill Condon and Rob Marshall has escaped the dreaded Disney machine and are making movies that they want to make.

"Where You Are" seems to be the most modern looking out of all the numbers shown in the teaser.

I'm currently watching the pre-show for the live broadcast of Good Night, and Good Luck on CNN. They just showed a commercial for the trailer. Wouldn't surprise me if it also airs during tomorrow night's Tony Awards (as well as a Wicked: For Good promo).
