Is it wrong that I cried tears of joy when I saw this? No? Good.
OHMYGOD, I cannot wait for this movie. Someone, tell me when it's playing in theaters! I might die of joy if I saw it on the big screen. (Although, I'd of course come back to life for trailer 3, the movie, etc.)
THANK YOU.

WOW. And I thought the original trailer/music video gave me chills. I am SO excited. You've even convinced my friends (people who's only taste of theatre and musicals are at school) that this is something to be excited about and even THEY want the soundtrack. Thank you so much for bringing this show, a show that has touched so many of us out here, to the movies and to the public.
Posted by: Ben on 08/25/05 at 05:06 PM

It looks amazing. I mean, I don't know what else to say. It really looks amazing, and sounds amazing, and, ah! 3 months is way to long!
I just pre-ordered my soundtrack. It's shot up more than 500 spots on amazon in one day, that's awesome!
I think these next 3 months may kill me...
Posted by: Amanda on 08/25/05 at 05:19 PM
wow. im completely speechless. it looks so amazing. the vocals are great and its really cool seeing all those familiar scenes after watching it countless times on broadway. i cant wait.

Posted by: Dhiraj Chand on 08/25/05 at 06:34 PM
the cat scratch club looks so great - and i should tell you looks very graceful.
jesse's little spin on the subway is my favorite :) what a smoothie, man.
adam - all the girls will truly love the bon jovi hair.
Posted by: dd on 08/25/05 at 06:41 PM
I wasnt sure where i should post this, but just a shout out to you and the entire cast - i've been dealing with my dad's recent death, and my life as a musician and so many things - i found rent at just the right time in my life. i just wanted to let you all know that you're reaching people from all over, not just on broadway, and that you all inspire me with what you're doing and what you stand for
Posted by: Cindy on 08/25/05 at 06:41 PM
Omg ... Omg ... That was so FRICKING AMAZING! I am in ... Just ... Wow. I cried so much. From the moment Anthony started talking. Oh wow. So great. I cannot wait ... 92 more days. Omg ... Oh wow.
Posted by: Lausy M. on 08/25/05 at 06:43 PM
It was amazing! I loved it! I am SOO excited for this movie! The only thing that I thought could have been done diferently was maybe you could put a couple more lines in the trailer. I love the music but if people aren't Rentheads they have no idea what the movie is about.

Posted by: MIke Matson on 08/25/05 at 07:08 PM
Definitely the best trailer yet...I was completely fine until Idina's "but it was us baby who were the lucky ones," then I got all teary-eyed and giddy.
I didn't get to see RENT on Broadway until 2000 (I'm only 18, so any earlier and I would have been thuroughly confused) so I'm rediculously happy the majority of the OBC is doing the movie...It's almost like a time relapse :)
Posted by: Katie @ Cal on 08/25/05 at 07:09 PM
I love the new trailer...I wanted to cry it was so good. Each day I don't think I could get more excited about the movie...and then you guys prove me wrong :) Thanks for all the great updates, I'm sure I speak for everyone on here- we appreciate it so much!!
Sincerely,
Megan
Posted by: megan_m on 08/25/05 at 07:11 PM
:D It looks so wonderful! Good job everyone, all my dorm-mates and I are eagerly awaiting 11/23!
*hug* Thank you!
Posted by: Sheila on 08/25/05 at 07:14 PM
This is a fabulous trailer. Truly fabulous. Can't wait for the movie!
*Jules
Posted by: Juliet on 08/25/05 at 07:40 PM
Best trailer yet, definitely
I posted it all over myspace, livejournal, and every broadway board i could get my hands on lol
The transition from song to spoken word is really good. They do that a lot in movie-musicals dont they? Like at the masquerade in Phantom of the- *realizes she's so off-topic*
Almost cried when Maureen made her little Angel speech and Finale B is playing in the background. :(
So yeah, absolutely gorgeous job, editors and actors and everyone else involved- i watched the trailer about 18 times in a row lol
Posted by: Christyn on 08/25/05 at 07:42 PM
Everything i see makes me want to see it now... ah! how to cope having to wait another couple months to see the greatest musical in theaters???
Posted by: Jeremy on 08/25/05 at 07:43 PM
WOW! That was awsome! I almost cried cause I wanna see it so much! I'm so excited!!!!!
Posted by: Stephy G on 08/25/05 at 07:44 PM
My boyfriend told me that there was an update with the new trailer, and i freaked. It was so well done, and now i know for sure that i need to bring a box of tissues to the theatre in Nov. Im traveling to NY to see the show and the movie on the same day...hopefully opening night! Thanks to all who were involved in creating this treasure!
Posted by: Joey on 08/25/05 at 08:15 PM
Adam Pascal! This is the first time I have seen you for so many years I have just heard you and you have a magnificent voice.
Posted by: bob on 08/25/05 at 08:20 PM
That trailer is 30x better than the first one. Wonderful. I can't wait to see some clips (I noticed they made a spot for them on the movie site).
Posted by: Mack on 08/25/05 at 08:22 PM
ahh i am soooooo excited!!!!! i am even flying out to new york the weekend of the 11th so i can see the film two weeks earlier than it will open here in chicago
Posted by: madeline on 08/25/05 at 08:27 PM
Wow!!! Chills! I am sooo excited!!! It looks Fantastic!!
Posted by: Jessica Meijer on 08/25/05 at 08:27 PM
OH MY GOSH! IF IT IS POSSIBLE, IT'S BETTER THAN THE FIRST TRAILER! I love it!!! I can't believe that it's actually a movie, that I'll be able to go and watch it and know it's going to be AMAZING!
If there are any more trailers like this I'll be crying before I see the movie.
Thank you Chris and the Cast for all your hard work- it certainly has payed off!
Posted by: Jenna on 08/25/05 at 08:39 PM
Hi.... I watched the trailer and I´m sooo exited... But why ... why the limited released was cancelled?? It is not fair!I´m from Mexico and when the official web page announced the release I booked hotel for NY, bought plane tickets and tickets to see the broadway show before and after the movie! I´m really sad because I´m such a huge fan and I´ve planned the trip just to see the movie!!! I can proove I bought everything and now! what can I done????
Posted by: Pepe on 08/25/05 at 09:10 PM
OMG this is so exciting!!! I shouldn't have seen this trailer before going to bed. Now I won't be able to sleep!! What an amazing trailer. Oh man... I'm so excited I'm rambling in circles XD
89 days, everyone!!!!
Posted by: Sk8inglioness on 08/25/05 at 09:14 PM
I've watched this trailer an unhealthy amount of times. Like everyone has said, it looks amazing.
I'll admit, I did cry...shut up! Boys can cry to, geeez.
Posted by: Ben on 08/25/05 at 09:36 PM
...fade to black,"LOVE"... fade to black..."HOPE"...fade to black,"STRUGGLE"...fade to black, "TRIUMPH"...fade to me,
"BRILLIANT"!!!
Chris, you are a genius!!! Thank you.
Posted by: Michael on 08/25/05 at 09:37 PM
holy cow. i am speechless.
Posted by: Catherine on 08/25/05 at 09:41 PM
being that this is my favorite musical ever, i'm anticipating this movie more than YOU KNOW. everytime i watch that trailer, see a picture, hear the music, i'm constantly reminded why i saw the play so many times. we're all counting down to its release to be able to watch it with that room full of people who know every lyric, every costume, every voice...and we cant wait!!!
Posted by: Meghan on 08/25/05 at 09:48 PM
Wow. ::is in tears:: that was incredible! i just watched it about 10x over! with the rest of the fans i'm sure. everyone looks and sounds so fabulous. thank you so much for giving us this movie. HOW MANY DAYS TILL 11/23??
<3amanda
Posted by: Amanda W. on 08/25/05 at 09:49 PM
I hope there's a midnight showing in NY on the 11th.... i'd love to be surrounded with all of you true RENTheads out there.
Oh...and I'm DYING for a larger version of that trailer, just so i can see more details from La Vie Boheme.
Has anyone else out there seen the international trailer? It's AMAZING!
Posted by: Christian on 08/25/05 at 09:59 PM
Wow!! I loved it!! Even more than the first trailer!! I am so excited!!! I loved how it showed alot of Roger and Mimi's relationship. I loved Mark's dialogue in the begining. Finale B sounds great!! I'm super excited!! I can't wait till November 23rd!!!
Posted by: Melissa on 08/25/05 at 10:06 PM
Every day I come to this site, I visit my myspace blog site, I visit the rent fansite blog, and it kinda shines a light in my life :)
Rent has touched millions, and millions, and I'm happy to say that every day it touches me more and more. (hehe... on reading that it sounds kinda naughty... appropriate for rent? ;-) I am a college freshman, and having to live in a crappy ghetto apt I asked myself, "What would a bohemian do?" :-P But seriously... When the first trailor came out i was tearing, and as I watched this new trailor i was crying. I can't even think of words to really describe how I feel now.
I think that it looks amazing. The visuals look astounding, the music sounds great, and everything i've seen so far has matched and surpassed my expectations.
Mahalo nui loa to the staff, and cast who will give this amazing show a new life.
To the amazing actors who bring these intricate and colorful roles into such a vivid life continue to amaze me. Rosario, Idina, Adam, Anthony, William, Tracie, Jesse, and Taye you are truely heroes in a dark time. Please continue to do what you do!
We all love you here in hawaii!
Aloha,
Kimo

Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!
Posted by: Megan on 08/25/05 at 10:48 PM
I am in LOVE with this trailer. It is AWESOME! All my doubts I had about the songs have been washed away and I think any changes are gonna rock hardcore and make this movie amazing. I am so ready for it ! YAY! THE RENT CAST ROCKS!
Posted by: Joanne on 08/25/05 at 11:23 PM
I am speechless. I can't describe the emotions I felt watching that trailer. I wish it's Nov. 23rd already. The anticipation is agonizing. I am counting the days. Please show us more trailers. Loved It A LOT!!!!
Posted by: Ro on 08/25/05 at 11:54 PM
I was excited to see this trailer as I simply can't wait to see how the show translates onto the big screen, and it's looking like it transfer wonderfully.
I suppose I only wish, sometimes, that I wasn't so tech savvy and connected to the internet. I can't imagine my reaction if I had been sitting in a theater, really not knowing how the Rent movie was progressing, and while watching the trailers I suddenly hear the first piano notes of Seasons of Love start. I would have been in awe, I'm sure.
I'm excited. To everyone involved, actors, driectors, crew alike, great job.
Posted by: Brandon on 08/26/05 at 01:08 AM
my sentiments are the same as everyone on here - the RENThead family - i CANNOT wait till november!... i teared and was excited and it gave me chills.. just a boatload of different emotions! again, thank you movie cast, thank you chris columbus, and most of all, thank you jonathan larson!...
Posted by: bja19 on 08/26/05 at 02:24 AM

november SERIOUSLY has to come.... like NOW!
Posted by: bja19 on 08/26/05 at 03:16 AM
Chills, I tell you. CHILLS! From only the trailer, too. It was so beautiful with the dialogue, the scenes, and especially the gorgeous "Finale B" playing in the background. It's truly a masterful, stunning trailer and I can't wait until November 23rd to see all of this already fabulous film. Thank you for making us a part of your journey from stage to the screen, we love you all.
Posted by: Violet on 08/26/05 at 03:54 AM
I've started and stopped typing this post like a dozen times because I'm damn close to speechless. Freaking WOW!
Posted by: Cassandra on 08/26/05 at 04:10 AM
It is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for giving this all to us so early!
So we've had the first sort of teaser trailer... now this marvelously emotional one...
I'm just waiting for the hardcore rocking trailer and we'll be done!

Oh, I'm crying...I'm sobbing (well not really) but that was amazing...absolutely amazing...I CANNOT WAIT. All doubts about the movie sucking have fled. :)
Posted by: Molly on 08/26/05 at 07:46 AM
I cried when I watched this. No joke. That might make me an obsessed fan, but I love this musical and the film looks like it is going to be so beautiful. I can't wait. -Kristi
Posted by: Kristi on 08/26/05 at 08:05 AM
I am still speechless, and it's been like, 15 hours since I first watched it. Anthony, how appropriate for yours to be the first voice we hear. The trailer seriously looks amazing. Although I've watched the other two trailers hundreds of times, I fell in love with this one. I did not think it was going to be possible to be more anxious for this movie than I already was. Every aspect of it is incredible. I lose it every time when you all put the roses on the grave.... amazing. Thank you
Posted by: krista on 08/26/05 at 08:07 AM
How do you guys continue to top yourselves? I cried during the ENTIRE thing, but when the title "RENT" popped up at the end with that swishy sound, along with NO DAY BUT TODAY at the bottom, every hair on my body stood up. i still havent recovered. all i have to say is thank you. simply put, thank you...
Posted by: kRISTA on 08/26/05 at 08:15 AM
I LOVE RENT!! This trailer made me sooooo excited for the movie.
YAY IDINA!
Posted by: Jamie on 08/26/05 at 08:43 AM
Ah! I've been listening to RENT since I was in 3rdth grade... my mom and I would play it and its message helped get us through divorce! I cannot wait for this movie! It looks incredible! Why isn't it November?! I'm going to go mad!!!
Posted by: Brianna on 08/26/05 at 08:45 AM
Never have I been so excited by the idea of seeing a cast merely interact. Throughout the making of the movie and the (THANK YOU REVOLUTION) wonderful access we as RENTHEADS have had I get more and more thrilled by the chemistry between these actors and this new trailer really shows off the talent both behind and in front of the camera. Its amazing that 9 years ago I was writing to the Rent broadway cast and now I'm posting to the movie board and getting teary eyed every time I watch the trailer for the MOVIE!!!! This cast is fantastic! Chris Columbus is my new hero! Oh and by the way.... ROSARIO DAWSON is tha SHIZZZ!!! (I currently have Mimi on one screen and Gale on the other).
I just want to thank all the people working on this film because I think it is really going to be amazing.
Posted by: Mark on 08/26/05 at 08:50 AM
AHHHH that is awesome! It really needs to be November now I'm starting to not be able to wait:S
p.s--You guys, are the best!
<33Sam
Posted by: Sam on 08/26/05 at 08:51 AM
I am so excited. It is so wonderful. I think this will be the best film ever. I was so worried, not anymore! I can't wait to see everyone at the OSCARSS!!!!
Posted by: Carolyn on 08/26/05 at 08:59 AM
I watched this first yesterday online (immediately, of course) and then again on Access Hollywood last night. They edited it so much, that I didn't feel it did the wonderful trailer justice. Thank you SO much for posting the entire trailer here. It gave me goose bumps and I definitely teared up. Thank you!
I'm still very bummed about the cancelling of the limited release (which was for my birthday weekend), but I'm working out a way to take a personal day so I can still spend the whole first day of the release watching Rent. I can't wait!
--Kathy =)
Posted by: Kathy on 08/26/05 at 10:02 AM
Absolutely amazing! My heart is racing and I can't wait any longer to see this movie!!!!!!!
Great work!
Posted by: Amelia on 08/26/05 at 10:04 AM
OMG the movie looks amazing! I love you Wilson you're the best! It really needs to be November NOW!
Posted by: Chelsea on 08/26/05 at 10:20 AM
It's so comforting to know that I wasn't the only one who cried!!! Kudos to the RENT cast and crew. The trailer alone is already a masterpiece.
I can't wait 'til November.
Posted by: Jill on 08/26/05 at 10:44 AM
I'm still shaking. That was so beautiful. The entire cast of this movie is *so* amazing!
Posted by: Mary P. on 08/26/05 at 11:11 AM
::tear:: that was amazing! so wonderful. I can't wait till november!!!!! i <3 you guys!!!
Posted by: Jen on 08/26/05 at 11:31 AM
I'm loving everything about what the cast is doing and from what I've seen so far, but I just wanted to send a shout out to Johnathan Larson. His dream will become his legacy. I will bring him with me in my heart the day I see this for the first time in the theater. Thank you Johnathan for leaving behind such an enormous gift. We love you...and you have truly shown us that there is no day but today.
Posted by: Becky on 08/26/05 at 12:17 PM
that was rad. nice work. can't wait to see the movie.
Posted by: kat on 08/26/05 at 12:37 PM
I got chills again... brilliant beyond brilliant trailer... still waiting for November... I love you all for being a part of this... no day but today indeed! (Well, technically November 23rd.)
~Taylor~
Posted by: Taylor on 08/26/05 at 12:51 PM
I can't possibly wait until Nov. 23!!! I am so bummed it's not the 11th (my birthday, I was going to spend all day in the theater) The trailer was so good.
Posted by: Traci on 08/26/05 at 01:23 PM
Viva La Vie Boheme!!!
OMG I am in shock and awe....I am crying right now... no movie has ever moved me this way especially one that hasn't even come out yet
No Day But Today,

Posted by: Lauren Shelby on 08/26/05 at 01:42 PM
HOLY LORD LOVE A DUCK! HOW GOOD WAS THAT FRIGGIN TRAILER!! WOW.. SO MUCH EBTTER THAN THE FIRST ONE! I GOT SHIVERS ALL THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO!!
ANTHONY! I LOVED YOUR LITTLE LINE YOU SAY AT THE BEGINNING!
I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE NOW!!
Posted by: Stephen on 08/26/05 at 01:58 PM
so pretty much reading these comments, i really really wanted to get on and trash the trailer since everyone thinks so highly of it.. but honestly, i cannot find a single negative thing about it.
yes, i cried too.
whenever i see it onstage, i get teary eyed when collins says "its over" but tears dont actually fall from my eyes until maureen says that line.... and in the trailer... i cried. in the first trailer i cried when it showed "the line" and then i just start thinking about the show... and one part i hope they include in the movie, but i doubt they did... is when they sing I'll Cover You Reprise and they are in their line again....and theres a gap where angel stood.... that part just makes me cry even thinking about it!!! ahh now im rambling. anyway, it was beautiful. the cast is amazing. i cant wait.
Posted by: David on 08/26/05 at 03:34 PM
The new trailer looks awesome! I love Anthony's quote in the beginning as a way of opening it up. I can't wait to see the rest of the movie. :D
Posted by: Jackie on 08/26/05 at 04:01 PM
Am I the only one that is extremely proud of this film even though it hasn't been released yet? Based on what I've seen in the 2 trailers...I think it's safe to say that they did this right and they're gonna make us all very proud!
Posted by: Justin on 08/26/05 at 04:19 PM
I wish I could have seen it on Access Hollywood. This is the best trailer by far. This is the best movie trailer I have ever seen. My eyes began to tear in the begining. The part where Idina was talking, it just broke my heart, I started crying even more. I knew I was going to need a box of tissues for this movie, but now I think I am going to need more than one box. By the way, I love the smile that Adam has in the begining. It is so cute. The movie is going to be beautiful. I can't wait till Nov. 23.
Stephanie
Posted by: Stephanie on 08/26/05 at 04:24 PM
Wow. The trailer was beautiful. Truly shows what Rent is about and did define a generation. One that I'm proud to have been a part of. Rent isnt just a musical it was a glimpse into real life and I think Chris Columbus will bring the stage alive.

watching only the trailer makes me remember all the reasons I've been in love with rent... and all the reasons why I wanted a life in the arts. rent's been inspiring me for years, and I know it will continue to.
Posted by: Rebecca on 08/26/05 at 05:24 PM
Oh my gosh that was absolutely magical, and like practically everyone else, it made me tear up as well!
However, unlike most people I can't wait until February when it *finally* comes out in Australia!!!
Well done guys, you truly are amazing
Posted by: Bryony on 08/26/05 at 05:37 PM
coooool i cried and got shivers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the last entry, Adam said something about the promotional tour... what would that be?
Posted by: Lyssa on 08/26/05 at 05:47 PM
Well, hey, if you guys want to see the Access Hollywood, it'll be on again at 4 AM central time...
I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE the trailer. I started squee-ing with the first line, because thats gotta be one of my favorite Mark lines. And thats saying something, cause Mark is my favorite character(I followed people around with my video camera before I had even HEARD of RENT). Its absolutely incredible... its so much easier to tell what the movie is going to be like when you hear them speaking and whatnot. And I must say, I'm going to flip. I seriously will go to a midnight showing if one exists, even I have school the 23rd.
And I'm going to be sobbing with the Angel scene. My eyes were tearing up just seeing Idina! *sniffle* I cry way too easily over everything.
Posted by: Fizz on 08/26/05 at 05:52 PM
Thanks for the generosity of all your crew who keep posting such great videos - we love seeing them.
The work looks great and you obviously have many, many, obsessed young fans. But here's to the older ones.... like me.... who lived the experience when it came out in 95. We still love you all!!!

Hey! I justed wanted to let everyone who is involved with the musical as well as the movie how much this story of hope, love and life truly moved me. Just last a couple of weeks ago, my best friend and I experienced Rent for the first time on broadway. I can't even find words to explain the rush of feelings I felt for the characters, the music, everything. I cried more than any movie or musical has ever made me cry before, yet it was extremely inspirational and uplifting. I could identify with all the characters in one way or another. Now i definietly know what all the fuss has been about and am so looking forward to the movie! I have been faithfully checking this blog (which is so great by the way)! This story is something special and I am excited that you will be able to share it with the rest of the world.
Posted by: Courtney on 08/26/05 at 07:28 PM
Maureen's quote at the funeral is one of my favorites in the whole show. I'm so glad they put it in the trailer.
I got goosebumps watching this... although that may just be because my dorm room is freezing cold. Whatever, it was wonderful, and I'm sure I'll be watching it many times over the next few days!
Posted by: Andrea on 08/26/05 at 08:22 PM
o my god i CANNOT wait!!! its still coming out on nov. 11th in nyc right? i will be at the absolute first screening i can get too! im so excited

There are no other words than besides .. WOW!!!!! I think you guys this movie is not going to only change this generation but future generations at the same time. Rev. Studios have turned J. Larson's ideas into a dream. He would have been very proud to call this his own and the movie is only from what I have seen from the trailer. Please keep the trailers coming. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Posted by: Jeremy on 08/26/05 at 09:20 PM
Words can not explain how excited I am about this film...I am waiting anxiously for November 23rd, untill then all I can do is watch the trailer ten times a day. It is truly beautiful!
Some of this movie was filmed in San Fransico, My home town...and everytime I pass by the "Catsratch Club," I smile and continue my day with thoughts on how great this show was and how great the movie will be...
I love the cast with a passion and I am excited to see how the movie came out...I am sure they have all done a wonderful job at playing the characters that they played so perfectly nine years ago. The fact that the members of the OBC are reprising thiers roles makes me even more anxious to see this musical that affected me so deeply on the big screen.
With that said, I am proud to be Forever a RENThead...
No Day But Today!

Adam-
You are an extremely talented and inspiring person. I love all of your work and I am anxiously waiting to see this film. I know you will be great in it, and I really could not picture anyone else playing the part of Roger.
Rock On with Peace and Love!
Posted by: Leslie, SF California on 08/26/05 at 09:32 PM
WOW!!! There aren't any words to really express how I feel about all this. It truly is a blessing that the message in RENT is being shared to people across the world.
Posted by: Kyra on 08/26/05 at 09:46 PM
Hey all of the cast and crew I think this Movie is going to be awesome and just as good as the play if not better. I have seen the play in San Diego my hometown at least 5 times and in LA but i am sad that i never got to actually see the original cast in New York. To Idina I am mad that i missed u in Wicked and sry u broke a rib I thought u were great in it and i love to listen to the soundtrack. I will see this movie when it comes out and be one of the first people.
Posted by: Jeff on 08/26/05 at 10:31 PM
I am glad I am not the only one who was emotional after watching the new trailer. :) It is pure beauty.
For me, RENT is more than a show, it is an experience. As corny as that sounds, whenever I hear the music or see the production the emotion is palpable. It could be the story of my friends and I, our hopes, fears, dreams.
To the cast: you all are incredibly talented. You ARE RENT, and we fans thank you!
Posted by: Shelbi on 08/27/05 at 04:05 AM
I got chills! I am now dead set on making a cat suit to wear to the midnight show in my town.... and I'm not joking lol.

OMG!!!! Thats an awesome trailer! I can't wait til November!!! I don't know how I'm going to survive! I hope they start showing that preview in the movie theaters soon!
Love,

Posted by: Veronica on 08/27/05 at 08:08 AM
O .... M ... G! How fabulous was that? I thought I couldn't be anymore excited by another trailer, but this one just blew me away! The whole message of the movie is in this trailer and the scenes, and musica are just incredible! And when Maureen was doing her eulogy, I was just heartbroken all over again. I've watched teh trailer soooo many times and paused and rewound, just trying to suck in every detail. People, even non-rentheads are totally going to LOVE this movie!
Posted by: Dante Mac on 08/27/05 at 09:23 AM
The trailer was AMAZING! I can't wait for the movie! At the end of the first trailer is said "Coming this Fall... Only in theaters"- does that mean it's not coming out on video? I hope not! That would be really uncool! You guys are amazing! I love you!
~Brianna
Posted by: Brianna on 08/27/05 at 09:49 AM
wow. really, truely, amazing. i loved it. i think if you guys came out with one that showed a little more of the rougher side of rent, a more rocky one, you'd definitely draw in a bigger audience and it would be really cool to have all these different trailers portraying all the different "faces" of rent.
Posted by: Leah on 08/27/05 at 10:49 AM
"Why the hell am I still living here?"
Heh, that made me laugh. Oh, my goodness...this was so amazing! I liked that there was actually some talking in it this time(especially Maureen's part in the eulogy) and I love Finale B so I was singing along(and probably annoying my entire family. November can't come fast enough!
Posted by: Laura on 08/27/05 at 11:01 AM
Here's hoping the show translates as well as the Broadway production! I think it's awesome that the cast takes the time to read the blog. You all rock! Oh, and what message wouldn't be complete without a "swoon" over Adam Pascal. My god, he looks GOOOOOD! Thanks to Jonathan Larson and all those involved for creating a truly touching story.
Peace and Soul!

Posted by: Carmen on 08/27/05 at 11:30 AM
Oh my gosh!! It looks fantastic!!!!!!!! When the trailer ended, I honestly just sat there and sobbed for ten minutes!! Everything is so perfect!! I've been playing the new (and old) trailer nonstop for about half an hour and I still can't stop crying!! I just want to let the entire cast and crew of the movie know that I couldn't be more behind you all! I know Jonathan Larson would be proud!! The audio clips sounded wonderful, too, by the way. I'd never heard Rosario sing before and I was really excited to hear her singing "Out Tonight". I think she'll be our best Mimi yet! Anthony, I'm glad we got to see some more of Mark in the new traler, and you sound as wonderful as ever in "Tango:Maureen" (thanks for the birthday email, by the way!) I'm listening to "Goodbye Love" on the original cast cd right now. I can't wait to see all this on screen!! Just watching the trailers has moved me beyond any expectations, I know that the film will be mind blowing! Idina, the quick bit of you that we saw during Angel's funeral was great (the "we were the lucky ones" quote)! You're all exceeding my ridiculously high expectations already! Well done!!!!
P.S. Adam, I hope your son is feeling better!
Posted by: Stacey on 08/27/05 at 11:44 AM

Posted by: Becky on 08/27/05 at 07:54 PM
I was sad at 7:30 Thursday night when I couldn't "access" access hollywood, but then I saw it here and was jumping up and down and screaming..yeah my friends almost called 911.
Wow. I mean we thought the first one was just serene, but this is just.. it feels like I pressed play and all the sudden entered this paradise world or something! Everything's so real; it's like the 'real world: lower east village' and 8 ppl. I loved the "would ya like to come with us?" Adam's facial expression reminded me of Theo in SoR.
Ok, going to watch it again! Nov. 23rd...*nodaybu2day*
Posted by: Chrissy on 08/27/05 at 08:09 PM
It's beautiful. It makes me sad to think of every person who doesn't know Rent or heard the music because it truly touches me in a way nothing else has. Thank you Rent.
Posted by: Kristin on 08/27/05 at 09:01 PM
Wow.. litterally brought tears to my eyes. I know seeing it live is such a gift. but to now have it in a medium and relive it over and over and with most of the originals is truly special! Thanks to Chris and the cast for everthing. Can someone speed up time so we can watch it NOW! and to Rosario and Tracey.. you guys had big shoes to fill and you have proven you can strut just like Angel would! thanks & peace.
Posted by: Tracy on 08/27/05 at 10:07 PM
DIALOG....Yea!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Elise on 08/27/05 at 10:13 PM
Oh my god!!!!! I cant wait for your movie! I've watched rent live already and I just wanna see the cinema version of it! November 23 is in my calendar...i will definetly be the first in line to buy a ticket in the movie house! Hahahaha! Yay!
Posted by: Samantha Lim on 08/28/05 at 05:52 AM
I love the trailer. That one line will get me everytime!
Question: Is it still opening in Canada on the 11th? That's what the site says.

That trailer was simply AMAZING!! i cannot wait untill the movie comes out!!!!!!!
Posted by: Jen on 08/28/05 at 11:09 AM
I can't even express how excited I am about this powerful movie. I now live in the Bay Area and was so excited about the filming in SF. I moved here from the East Coast, where I worked with an improv theatre troupe that performed on college campuses, with music inspired by the Musical. We opened every show in college dorms with Seasons and closed with Finale B. We also did work with perdiatric AIDS non-profit in Pittsbugh, PA. I wish you all much success and luck and I know I will be attending what I can showing support for you all and John Larsen's amazing dream that became a reality...No Day But Today.
Posted by: James on 08/28/05 at 11:23 AM
It's gonna kick ass at the Oscars. LOL. I can't wait to see it, because I had the kind of year where the music of RENT really helped me, my parents split up and a good friend of mine was killed in a car accident this past April three hours after I saw her. I know that her spirit we'll see the film more then I will. It looks great and can't wait.
Posted by: Greg on 08/28/05 at 11:54 AM
Oh goodness. I so happy hollywood hasn't jaded him. I don't know what to say but....Many blessings to his family and there's no one else that can play this role but Adam. Just from watching your clip and the new movie clip, I know the movie will blow the boxoffice way. Maybe it'll break the record!!!
Posted by: Ashley on 08/28/05 at 12:17 PM
is it weird that anytime i ever watch a trailer or watch any of you perform i cry? the amount inspiration and emotion that the trailer has makes me cry like you would not beleive. just the trailer. i cant explain the feeling that RENT always gives me. but it's always so emotionally stirring in an amazing way. thank you all so much for being so talented and gifted to inspire me anytime i so much as look at you. anyway, the trailer was amazing and thank you. i cant wait for nov. 11!!! (aka my birthday!)
much love
Posted by: Alicen on 08/28/05 at 12:28 PM
Graduated SHS in '87. Never thought that Adam would be as amazing as he is. Congat's to you and Idina on your success and good luck with the movie.

I just saw the RENT trailer on the big screen!! When I heard the first few beats of Seasons of Love, I screamed so loud! I was SO excited! It finally made it seem real! I was so emotional throughout the whole trailer. That definitely made my weekend! :)

the trailer is now on my myspace I love it soooooo much I get chills every time I watch it and I've probably watched it about 50 times to date ;) Its so bittersweet and just pure AMAZING!!!!! I cant not freakin wait for the movie!!!!
Posted by: steph on 08/29/05 at 09:33 AM
Thanks... I loved the new trailer that is now out. I watched Access Hollywood both nights, because there was a "preview" of the trailer the night before. Anyway, I love that my RENT vhs is already starting to get filled... I hope that there are more television appearances, especially from the cast itself. We hope to see you guys on various TV shows. I love the expression on Adam and Jesse's face when they are dancing together... that picture alone made my entire day! Anyway, I love the differences and similarities between the two trailers. Now I have another trailer to see a hundred times before the movie comes out. We can't wait for the "musical phoenmenon that defined a generation". I am getting all of my friends to come watch the movie with me at LEAST once, which will be a major feat because none of them have ever even seen a musical. But my friend got Seasons of Love from itunes, because she knew I liked it and wanted to hear it. Also, becuase it was my solo song last year and she wanted to hear the recording of it. Anyway, I love this new trailer... thanks, especially now that you can also hear parts of the diaglogue too!
~Joyce
Posted by: Joyce on 08/29/05 at 10:33 AM
I became a RENT fan recently. "Finale/No Day But Today" was one of the songs which I love best and when I heard it on the trailer I WAS REALLY REALLY EXCITED! Hope you have all the good luck with the brand new film, you deserve it, you're working very hard!!!!
Forget Regret. Greetings from Spain

Posted by: Hannah on 08/29/05 at 12:18 PM
Thank you!! *goggle eyes* That was amazing!! I LOVED it...it's given a real glance into what the movie will be like and I love what I'm seeing so far. It's RENT, completely, all the way and more.
My favorite part is Anthony narrating and then Adam starting to laugh...lol that part makes me crack up. I love it. I love the way it was put together also, with the different shots of everyone...the ones of (most of) the cast singing the Finale brought tears to my eyes. It was super beautiful.

Wow! I come back from seeing RENT in New York and I see this new trailer on the site! YAY! I loved it! It made me cry. Now I'm seriously excited for this movie. I don't know what happened, but maybe the show was a refresher of how amazing the message is that you get when you see something like that on stage. But anyway, this trailer pretty much made my summer!
Posted by: Megan on 08/29/05 at 03:34 PM
OH...My...God. That was AMAZING. I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. This film is gonna be better than even I expected..and I've been expecting alot!..Oscars all around..and even if that's not so, Everyone who truly loves RENT will love this. And so many more will experience this amazing story. I CANNOT wait. Thank you all for making this movie.
I'm going to go watch the trailer again.

The movie is going to me totally amazing! Everyone looks amazing, but Adam looks like a lost little puppy dog with the Bon Jovi hair (still gorgeous though).
I CAN NOT WAIT...
Posted by: Erica on 08/29/05 at 08:45 PM
AMAZING. simply superb. while i wish it showed more of the darker, grittier side of rent, you guys still did an amazing job on it. it brought tears to my eyes, and it was put together very well. now i have to find out what movies it's playing in front of so i can watch it on the big screen! i think my favorite part of it all was anythony's narration at the beginning. major, major props.
Posted by: miryam on 08/29/05 at 10:02 PM
So sad, so many comments -- Meaning mine doesn't matter...
But that's okay, I'll say something anyway.
It was beautiful, and I loved it. ^^ I showed it to my friend (who doesn't know anything about RENT) and now he really wants to see it.
Success!
But then again, we're both Idina-crazy. =P

Posted by: krysten on 08/30/05 at 04:41 PM
Each trailer brings me back to the first time I saw RENT live in the theater. I was nearly bawling my eyes out within ten minutes of the first scene and cried through the second half. Seeing the trailers gets me all teary-eyed at the thought of seeing this amazing musical put into movie form so that I can watch it over and over at the price of a movie ticket - $10, as opposed to a hundred dollar theater ticket. At first I was skeptical because I LOVE the music and I was afraid the movie would be too far removed from that part of the story...after seeing the trailers, I am so excited for this...
Posted by: Lynette on 08/30/05 at 07:58 PM
PURE LOVE... this has made it ten times harder to wait until november!!
AMAZING! THANK YOU!

I saw the trailer too, but just now discovered the website. I have to throw in my comments as well as all the other RentHeads out there. I cannot wait to see this movie! I've been singing "Seasons of Love" under my breath for the last week! :-) Novemeber is TOO far away!
Posted by: Jennifer on 09/01/05 at 07:59 AM
I sang "One Song Glory" and "What you own" on Karaoke for my Recital with my best friend and he and i got a standing applause. I'm so excited for this film to come out. Please find a way to tell me how to get in touch with Adam Pascal & Menzel. I want to write fan mail

I have goosebumps all over my body. I am not kidding. I dont think I can get up. I am going to start balling the second the movie starts- I'm almost crying now. Wow. Wow.
Posted by: Sammy on 09/01/05 at 01:09 PM
Wow I loved the trailer! So much better than the last one. I keep listening to the soundtrack over and over. I can't wait until November! BTW Adam if you read this you are my favorite Broadway actor! I can't wait to see you on the big screen!
Posted by: Ashley on 09/01/05 at 01:43 PM
Yes. The trailer made me cry too. I woke up my roommate to let her know. She smiled and went back to sleep.... haha!
Anyway, I don't even think people realize just how much this movie means to us Rentheads. Being only 11 when the show came out, I discovered it in high school -- and have now seen it 9 times in the past two years on Broadway (even though I live in Ohio and have only been to NYC three times, each trip lasting only about 3 days) -- and my life has been changed. This is my chance to finally see Adam and Idina and Taye and Anthony and Jesse and Wilson in the roles that I adore -- and to have some more reliable casting for Joanne and Mimi than I've seen (Scary Spice? What WAS that?). This pretty much makes my life. (It also really, REALLY excites me for my next NYC trip in October -- I've missed Rent so much! It's just a show where, once you've seen it, you can't help but keep going back... it just resonates within you and means something new each time you see it.) So all in all... thanks to those of the original cast who agreed to sign on for this movie. I'm so glad I finally get to see you in your roles. :)
*Mondie :)
Posted by: Mondie on 09/01/05 at 02:14 PM
Mondie I couldn't agree with you more...people think I'm joking when I say that Rent has literally changed my life, but I'm not...not in the least. I just saw it for the first time on August 6th...and I would give anything to go back to 1996 and see the original cast. I am in complete and total awe of these people, they are the people I respect and admire the most in life and I'm so happy this movie is coming out. It's so important.
Posted by: Alyssa on 09/01/05 at 05:01 PM
I am in love with Rent! Cant wait for 11/11! im counting down!!!
Posted by: Rori on 09/01/05 at 11:55 PM
:( My computer won't let me watch it. :'( But everyone keeps telling me that it's amazing!
Posted by: Eva on 09/02/05 at 12:45 PM
As a die hard Rent fan, I have to say I'm disspointed with these trailers. They're not moving me the way I had hoped. There are so many shots of people's backs, so many dissolves, so many wide shots. Please tell me that is not what we're going to see in the final edit. I want to experience what I felt when i saw the original cast on stage - the highest energy production in the history of theater. That said, I hope we're in for the highest energy film ever made.

Wow "Rent" on the big screen, who could ask for more???? I will be there on the first day and will be pre-ordering the DVD as soon as I am able. There was never a more meaningful and touching story as that of "Rent".
NO DAY BUT TODAY

The part with Rosario dancing on the fire escape is amazing!
Posted by: John on 09/05/05 at 09:52 AM
The trailer is beautiful, I had goosebumps. I'm really hopeful about this: when I first about it I was somewhat wary. But I think that Rent will be a wonderful movie. I can't wait!
Posted by: Brenton on 09/05/05 at 07:33 PM
I can't even say how excited I am! That was even better than the last one!!! The excitment grows as every day goes by. This one will blow the box office away for sure!

I'm still trying to figure out how many times I can see the movie on opening day. I have already taken the day off from work so I can spend the whole day at the theatre.
Posted by: Thomas on 09/06/05 at 09:50 PM
I just saw this today, 9/7...I need to check the blog more. I can't wait to show my friends at work. I'm up because I can't sleep, and now I know I won't be able to go back to bed. I'm PUMPED! I had goose bumps and tears in my eyes. holy crap, this movie is going to rock!
Posted by: KERRY on 09/07/05 at 12:55 AM
The trailer for RENT is the best thing I have ever seen, I cried when I first saw it. Can't wait to see the movie.
Posted by: Lauren on 09/07/05 at 09:02 AM
rent is truly the most beautiful, peice of work on the planet. i cannot even express my love for that play. the trailer is phenominal, and thast jsut a little tid bit of the movie.. holy shit. i cant wait.
Posted by: becky on 09/08/05 at 07:40 PM
I heard RENT isn't out here in the UK until February...I hope this isn't true as I want to see it so badly and I may have to book a trip to America...crazy, I know but it would be worth every penny to see it before everyone is talking about it (although it seems I am already too late for this! Everyone seems to love it as much as I do! YAY!)
Posted by: Alex on 09/09/05 at 04:16 PM
i thought i was going to cry when i saw the trailer for Rent on the big screen.. instead i started to laugh... and then cry.. it was unbelievably amazing. being a theatre/musical person people always ask me what part i most want to play.. i have yet to actually see the show, but just listening to it, my ideal character is going to have to change.
Posted by: Megan on 09/09/05 at 07:06 PM
When I saw the trailer, tears just fell from my eyes....
i always dreamed of seeing the original cast...never had the chance....
it is amazing to see jonathan larson's work brought to life in the only way it should---with the origianl cast..
the emotion is so strong... i cannot view the trailor without crying.
what a miracle

I literally thought I was crazy until I got to this section. I am not the only one that is getting so unbelievably excited! When I first saw the initial trailer in the movie theater before seeing some other movie, I dug my nails into my boyfriend's arm to keep from screaming out of excitement!
Posted by: Hilary on 09/10/05 at 12:24 PM
the new trailer is so beautiful. finale b is love.
i actually started rounding up people to go see Rent here in Austin back in June or so. we're all excited for the premiere! much love and luck!
Posted by: Ana on 09/11/05 at 01:10 PM
i can hardly wait to see the theatrical version.i must contact my friend in new york to see it there.
Posted by: billigeter on 09/11/05 at 04:52 PM
No flippin' way! Gorgeous new trailer, I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. I loved the use of Finale B, Seasons of Love was also a good song but Finale B is outstanding. Great footage!!! Oh, I don't think I'll make it till November, I'm dying of excitement!
Posted by: Ali on 09/11/05 at 05:21 PM
Oh...my...gosh! I have chills, whoops wrong song! LOL! Seriously, I was in complete shock, but in a good way. It's the best trailer I've ever seen. Anthony and Idina, your lines in that trailer probably had so much emotion in them, that it couldn't have been any more sincere. And the rest of the cast, as usual, totally blew me away. No Day but Today, so why don't you just have the movie start now for Heaven's sake. Ha ha, jk, jk, your movie's totally worth waiting for. Lots of love from moi, Jazzy M.
The OBC's and Movie casts' numero uno fan! And don't you forget it.
Posted by: Jazzy M on 09/11/05 at 05:40 PM
it's beautiful.
Posted by: Katherine on 09/13/05 at 06:40 AM
wow. just wow. i'm so uber-psyched for this movie. this new trailer blows the other away, and i LOVED the first one! i had that full-body-tingly sensation and i loved it. askg;lkhtg;lagabn;klt thats what came out of my mouth after seeing this!
Posted by: Andrew on 09/13/05 at 01:47 PM
In times when the general media and the world's goverments capitalize our fears and regrets to sustain their power, it is always good to be reminded that whithout tolerance and love life is just tasteless.
Posted by: c on 09/16/05 at 01:02 PM
Ok,so am i the only one who started crying as soon as she saw the trailer? Its so beautifal guys, just to hear No Day But Today and see all of the wonderful faces of characters who helped me realize what life is about...thats the sorta stuff worth crying over. Anyway, hope you guys cryed too, cause thats happyness right there.

Posted by: Elisabeth on 09/17/05 at 08:54 AM
Amazing trailer! It brought tears to my eyes... and I've never seen the show before on stage just fallen in love with the music, story line, and characters.
I can't wait to see the character I love most in action on the big screen! I'm so incredibly excited about the movie. :)
Lot's of love to everyone involved!

Posted by: Tommy on 09/19/05 at 03:59 PM
I have been a fan since I first saw a production of RENT when I was 15 and I must say that this story truly changed my life and brought me hope in my darkest hour. It reminded me that there IS hope, power and most importantly a voice alive in us young people. Thanks to all who have put together this movie as it will reach an even wider audience with its powerful message. You all are magic makers and truly more inspirational than you can ever know. Thank you for all your dedication to mr.larson's vision.

I AM A RENT FREAK ! I LOVED BOTH TRAILERS !
Posted by: Mallory on 09/21/05 at 02:07 PM
My god, having this play turned into a movie is my ultimate dream come true!! Having Rosario Dawsom play my favorite character in this movie AND Sin City is just... AMAZING! I cant wait for the movie to come out. And the soundtrack? Yup, thats being bought. No doubt. I listen to the 2 disc original recording at least once a week. I knew the play by heart and I cant wait to see the new additions of the movie!!!
