I can't help but think this is just going to be a cluster**** of terrible.
didn't really care for that trailer. I'm pulling for it to be a good movie, but I have my doubts.
I'm not crazy about the new version/arrangement of the theme song.

Yeah, I am not too fond of the new arrangement of the title song, but other than that, I am excited for this :)
After watching the trailer, I have lost all hope that this will be any good. I am such a huge fan of the original Fame movie.
Loved the top of the trailer with the recreation of the original's Out Here On My Own - the 360 has always been a favorite movie moment of mine. Then, well, hmmmm, we'll have to wait and see, I suppose . . .
The 1st half of the trailer is great with Out Here On My Own, you watch it going 'yes, they get it, they aint gonna ruin it' but then the 2nd half of the trailer kicks in, the Fame song sounds awful, the whole point of that song is that its supposed to be a high energy celebration, that sounds flat as hell
This will have none of the grit or realism of the original, it will be high school musical meets step up.

Someone ought to tell that little girl playing the piano to be careful of strange men promising auditions in restaurants...

Wow, based on less than one minute and thirty seconds of a trailer, one of you has lost hope that the film will be good, and another has prophesied (twice) that it will have none of the grit or realism of the original (the original had realism and grit - who knew?).
I wasn't a fan of the original, really, but I think I'll give this one a chance, if for no other reason than to see ACL's Paul McGill in it.
I liked Coco's voice...but boy....could she shake her head MORE while singing?
The change in FAME didn't bother me so much...time will tell, but I don't have high hopes.
I think I saw a little bit of something that may or may not be "Hot Lunch"...which (for me, after "Out Here on my Own") is the best part of the original film.
I'm such a huge fan of the original, I hope they don't eff this up.
