It's also completely possible that these borderline anachronisms aren't even going to be IN the movie.

i thought the trailer was wonderful! of course it doesn't convey all of rent but it's a great starts and it's definitely captivating, for someone that's never heard of rent too.

the image of adam in the bus and then clapping, and the images of them walking in the graveyard gave me goosebumps.

"The movie takes place in the late 80's. Joanne is a lawyer and cell phones were already common to business men/woman at that time. There were over 1 million cell phone subscribers by 1987."

i didnt know that. thanks!

"Alexi Darling makes reference to her email address, which was not commonplace in the 80's."

Corporations/Businesses had e-mail in the 80's.

It's a part of the play that can be easily discarded. It was a funny little moment, but certainly not something that will be badly missed.

As for the trailer - wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!!! November 11 can't get here soon enough! I had chills!

That was gorgeous...much better than the cutof boo-...i mean, nothing.


I don't think it looks light and fluffy. It seems to me that it just looks like a broadway musical being transfered to the screen. I hope it'll be INCREDIBLE- I'm pretty sure it'll be amazing.

remember, the trailer has to entice the rent fans yet be vague and obscure enough to attract middle america (and ohio, dammit!) who won't know it has drugs, sex, booze, AIDS and transexuals!! ha, ha tricked ya conservative christian right-wing wackos!!

"Corporations/Businesses had e-mail in the 80's."

Yeah, but Mark didn't... the internet has existed for decades but even in the late 80's I'd wager few businesses would have used it in interchanges like that with Mark. Is that line in the screenplay, though?

It looks amazing, I can't wait to even see the trailer in theaters. I've watched it about 6 times already, and I feel like an idiot because I can't stop smiling.

As for the comments about it's lighthearted-feel, trailers can only be rated PG-13, regardless of the rating of the movie, so they can't really show some of the "grittier" aspects of the show.

Wow. I really can't even think right now. That was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. I...just...wow.

"Wow, I just cried watching that...I wish Jonathan was here to see this.

I think Jonathan Larson would be mortified."

I actually like the trailer a lot..fans said the same thing about tolkien and lotr..and look where those movies are

orangeskittles, I'm not sure what you mean when you said "trailers can only be rated PG-13, regardless of the rating of the movie".

Trailers are either approved for all audiences (as everything from Bambi to A Nightmare on Elm Street have been) or restricted like SHOWGIRLS was due to nudity. There is absolutely no restriction on Sony showing "grittier" aspects of the movie in the trailer.

I do want to see the movie but I wish they would used a different song as I hate this song with a passion.

"i was waiting for frenchy and drew lachey to leave before i went back to see rent again..."

Drew's gone, but Frenchie's still there. Don't worry, Frenchie's good and a legit theatre person. Don't let her "American Idol" stint keep you away from seeing the show.

From the MPA website:

"Trailers are an important aspect of the program. They are approved for "all audiences," which means they may be shown with all feature films, or "restricted audiences", which limits their use to feature films rated R or NC-17. There will be, in "all audience" trailers, no scenes that caused the feature to be rated PG, PG-13, R or NC-17."

I was wrong about the PG-13 rating, previews have to be G-rated to be approved for all audiences. Any nudity, drug use, and hard language in Rent would all make the preview inappropriate for all audiences.

I clicked the link, but how come I don't see a link to the trailer? Am I missing it or just dumb? Where is it? lol

[karlean7]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 5:44pm

I think they took it down.

Which SUCKS.

'Cause I didn't get to see it!

[kim1061]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 5:46pm

aww wow they took it down. i wonder why haha?

[RobbO]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 5:47pm

they did take it down, the link to the trailer that was on the top left is missing. but i saw it once - now only if my computer automatically downloaded it....hmmm, did it?

[FabalaYero85]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 5:51pm

You can still get it from comingsoon.net and joblo.com

[karlean7]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 5:54pm

No, you can't. Since it was streaming video, no one downloaded anything, they just linked to the Tribute.ca site.

Which took it down.

ANYWAY, consolation prize is two new entries over at the Rent blog.
