I can't tell from the trailer: is the movie a period piece or is it set in today?

I think it looks gorgeous. And from a marketing perspective, they can't have it look all glum. Besides, there ARE fun, happy, hopeful moments in the musical.
I think it's going to be a huge success!

I also think the trailer looks like the preview for the upcoming teen urban drama on the WB. I don't really like the trailer that mich. I don't know if this is going to work as a movie musical. I can't picture these poeple yelling all these notes out when the camera is right there in their faces. I don't know. I sill don't know how i feel about the idea of the people from the show being in the movie. It seems kind of gimicky and I don't want ti be reminded of the show. I want this to be a completely cinematic entity of its own not associated with anything thats done on stage.

I thought the movie took place in the mid 90s. Does it not?

Oh man its beautiful...now 5 months for the full film is way too long
The musical was written in a span from the late 80's and early 90's but it takes place in the late 80's because of some of the references of AZT and other things

I think it will be a beautiful movie.
Over the Moon looks great.
Is that Tracie Thomms as the SOL soloist?
(I know, I'm slow)

ugh, it is so beautiful and so powerful. I have no words. This movie is going to be so amazing. The storyline..ugh..no words.
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.
And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

who's the guy singing on stage to the girl in the audience? is that a flashback roger/april scene with adam having short hair? if that's not what it is, i have no clue.
and did you see the scene of wilson taking off his (her) wig? heartbreaking. i have goosebumps.

I prefer the "other" one. It was more dark. Even though we didn't see everything - the audio was better (more surround sound and echoy) and the color was brilliant.
"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."

hey capnhook, I'm sorry, totally didn't mean to offend by calling the bootleg crappy (and I called it the "other" because the last blog got locked down for talking about bootlegs, so i thought tha word may not be a great choice for the topid heading), I just read a bunch of people complaining about the bootleg so i thought people would wanna know this one was out there...

I saw the show in 96 while it was still in previews. Hype was building around Larson's death and the Broadway transfer, and being a fan of rock/pop shows generally I was so excited. The first 20 minutes of the show -- before the Pulitzer, before the Tony, and I didn't know what to expect -- were some of the most thrilling I've ever spent in a theater.
And then it sort of pittered out for me. The real killer -- Seasons of Love. The song owes a huge debt to T.S. Elliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and is a sugar-coated anthem that I feel is musically out of sync with the rest of the show, regardless of its theme. Worse still, it became everyone's anthem overnight. I must have heard a hundred show choirs and singing groups do it in the first few years after it opened.
Which brings me to this trailer. I'm still excited for the movie, though less than most of you. And the reason my excitement is dying once again is that same stupid song.
Jonathan Larson wrote some great riffs for the title song. I'd really like to hear them in the full trailer.

Well of course the other trailer was grittier and darker -- it was bootlegged from someone's lap in a cineplex...

littlemermaid - I wasn't arguing with you. Simply stating that I liked the "other" one better.

RENT is an uplifting story about love. I don't think there's anything dark and gritty about it. Yes, characters have AIDS. Yes, a character dies. But the show is about the love that gets these friends through it. There's nothing cynical about the piece. It's rather cheery. And yes, light and fluffy. In a good way.
I think the trailer looks great. Can't wait to see the film.

watched trailer again.
man... if the acting is good (i.e. if their performances play translate well for the big screen), then i think this has a great chance at winning Best Picture.
the academy is impressed by musicals, having nominated BATB and Chicago; the score is good and the story is touching. this has a chance
