New RENT TRAILER! Today AUG 25 on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD — Page 9

Just one thing I want to add, personally looved the trailer, watched it twice, tear ran down during Idina's line.

But those who are criticizing both Idina's and Adam's delivery I personally think should wait till you see the scene in context. Maybe you'll see it fits in perfectly with the rest of the scene and the mood and whatever. I just think...we should try to hold criticisms till the movie actually comes out, though personally from what I've seen...I wouldn't say the movie is going to be perfect, but I think I will love it enough to overlook and perhaps not even acknowledge the faults--Evelyn, I think that's what's going on now, and what may happen when the movie comes out. If it's a great movie, I personally am not gonna care to dwell on the faults. Then again I'm one of the few who love the Phantom movie, and I know there are faults there, don't dwell on those either...so maybe I'm a bad example, because I do think the Rent movie will if nothing else be more critically and commercially appreciated than Phantom.

I wasn't scrutinizing - just making an observation in response to some of the previous posts within the thread. Personally, I'm going to wait for the movie to make my final opinions.

My comments were specific to the trailer, and the trailer alone! : )

yea,i agree w/ the not judging anything until you see the context.kinda pointlesss(even tho i did it)

Adam's delivery sounded ok to me.

If anything, the trailer leads you to believe a GIRL has died, because Idina says "It was you, baby"...and she never says "he" or "she".

She said it at one of her concerts in Provincetown.

I just showed my twin brother the new trailer, and he said that it looked like "a very serious episode of Friends." He said that it doesn't look bad, but it's just not something that he would see.

And his only other comment was, "Is that Rosario Dawson? She looks hot."

She does.
Your twin brother has great taste.

What a wonderful present I find after returning from vacation! I honestly think it LOOKS and SOUNDS absolutely.... BREATHTAKING!

-The cinematography is simply stunning! Mad props to Stephen Goldblatt, who also (I just found out) did Angels in America! Snaps for the cinematography.

-Hearing yet another song fully mixed, I am totally at ease about the poor sound clips on the main site. This film WILL sound great!

-I was not bothered at all by anyone's line delivery at all in the trailer, although, I really liked Anthony's line at the beginning! Idina, to me, just looks and sounds like she is fondly remembering a friend who passed. I've seen the same kind of speech given at a real funeral... sad but controlling their emotions on the outside. Angel wouldn't have wanted a sad funeral anyways.

-The staging for Finale B IS slightly awkward in the TRAILER! I am totally confident that it will NOT appear in the film that way.

**LISTEN TO THE OTHERS WHO SAY THAT FILMMAKERS PURPOSELY SHOOT EXTRA FOOTAGE FOR TRAILERS. IT'S TRUE. OR ELSE THEY STAGED AND FILMED IT DIFFERENT WAYS AND WILL CHOOSE THE ONE THAT WORKS BEST FOR THE FILM.** Put your minds at ease about that.

BTW: I'm assuming the shot of Mimi on the fire escape is OUT TONIGHT... so where are the blue Mimi pants? I've heard they made it into the movie... but where are they? lol

em-lee: yeah, my brother said the SAME thing - the Friends rference! 'course, he said "it looks like Ross and rachel are homeless and on crack". i thought that was hilarious. but he did say he would see it if rosario was indeed a stripper.

whatever gets them in the movie, you know? :)

i loved when jesse spun around on the subway. i have a feeling his performance will be one of my favorites. he's so sweet and charming.

kas- That cracked me up! Well, boys will be boys. Maybe my brother will see it too if I tell him that Rosario plays a stripper. Yeah, that would probably work.

I mentioned this over on the CB boards, but I think that the shot of the cast on the couch during Finale B just may be a type of "base shot" (sorry, I'm not familiar with film terminology) that the movie comes back to after cutting away to other shots of the cast, like Mark setting up his movie, everyone watching his movie, ect. Like One Song Glory where during the song we'll see Adam sing and also see flashbacks of his life with April. I think the same thing will happen with Finale B, only we'll see "flashforwards."

I hope that makes sense.

During Finale B, I thought they were all on the bed in the apartment were Mimi dies and comes back? Its not a couch...
