Ok I know it's supposed to premeire exclusively on AOL on June 7th, but guess what...SOMEONE JUMPED THE GUN!!! Here's the link, when you get to the page, just hit the trailer button on the left side of the page...ENJOY!!
"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.
Ok, but does that look too light and fluffy to anyone else?
It certainly looks like an episode of FELICITY or a feel-good miniseries.
Wow, I just cried watching that...I wish Jonathan was here to see this.
I think Jonathan Larson would be mortified.

Yeah, and Jesse gets the other solo. I don't know why, I guess just to give your stars more time in the spotlight. Or maybe to showcase Tracie and prove why she's in the movie instead of someone with more experience. *shrug*

umgeoboy, i thought the same thing when i first watched it. to the normal viewer that watches it, they probably won't notice that someone dies or the tie around april's arm (which someone pointed out but I still don't see it -- anyone?). since this is just the teaser they probably don't want to give too much away, in future trailers they probably will put some gritty stuff in. i really thing that the contrast between the light and dark subjects is what is going to sell this movie. that being said, i really think that some scenes of angel very sick / in the hospital ... or although this may be too late in the movie to show, mimi very sick - or even of april in the bathtub would be really key in cluing people in to the grittyness that is also involved.
I don't know. Does anyone here really think RENT was ever edgy? It's an pop opera retelling of La Boheme with catchy 80s music. What were you expecting? Outtakes from REQUIEM FOR A DREAM?
That was fantastic, I just watched it twice and grinned immensely the whole time. Everyone looks great, the costumes, the few scenes they showed, I think it was a great trailer, showing both light times and dark ones. Showing the cemetary but for those who aren't familiar not knowing who's funeral it is. Loved that they put a Maureen and Joanne kiss in the trailer, really puts the subject matter out there for all to see. I'm soooo excited!
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
cutting the soloists makes sense...sad as it is, movie audiences aren't good at watching unfeatured characters and paying attention...and yes they kept the blue pants, that's not out tonight, they added a scene in the cat scratch club (dunno if it's a flashback or not). I'm hoping the reason for the semi-Felicity feel is the music. Try to envision it with no sound, or a different song, visually it's true to RENT. let's all cross our fingers!! :)
