Thanks so much for sharing the Once Upon A Time trailer and screencaps, MB!  It's great to see more of Alice!

Thanks borgosi!  So, they describe it as Elfman's score (I do wonder, though, if at least Alice Cooper's part will be included in the soundtrack).  I'm still not sure I agree with the "discount" description, though- that's a pretty standard non-sale price!

Given what ShadowGram has reported, that's very interesting, jimbo. I wonder if the DS trailer is actually only playing with 21 Jump Street in certain movie theater chains?

Yes, this isn't too surprising, unfortunately.  Not every theater shows the exact same trailers before the same movies, though they usually show many of the same ones.  I checked on a movie buff site this morning (this site has a "crowd reports" section where they say how full the theater was and what trailers played) and only 2 of the 5 who saw 21 Jump Street saw the DS trailer (but one of them arrived late and only saw part of the last trailer, so it may have played at that theater).  So it did show before some screenings but not all.  I may be going to see it tomorrow so I'll report back here whether I see the trailer or not.

As for 21 JS fandom, I think it is a little different because most folks realize that the show is a bit dated and that even at the time, it was a little, well, earnest.  Also, most are also Depp fans.  Most people I know were just indifferent about the movie until it started getting such great reviews, and now there is some interest in it.  A small clip of part of Johnny's (and Peter DeLuise's) cameo was leaked a week or two ago, and I have to admit, it was not what I was expecting!  So yeah, that is adding to my interest in seeing the film.  But if the film had gotten terrible reviews, I think that most people would've just ignored the film.

What's funny is that I was reading a movie site (with no particular loyalty to DS, Burton *or* Depp) this morning, and the vast majority seem to think the trailer looks great.  This even included some who haven't liked some of Burton's recent efforts.  So maybe the marketers or whoever is behind this actually succeeded more than we think they did at making a trailer for the masses.  Of course, in Depp and DS forums, I am still seeing responses all over the map.  I haven't had a chance to watch the trailer at all today, but I am still feeling somewhere in the middle about it, probably liking it more than most DS fans and less than most Depp fans.

I don't think he pulls the plug out - I think he just pulls the back off. 

Ah, okay then, that makes more sense, thanks! (egg on my face    )

It is interesting to see everyone's various reactions to the trailer.  Some don't like the humor, and some don't find it funny *enough* (I guess in terms of, if it's going to be a comedy, it might as well be funnier).  I really would rather see a higher quality version before I make a final opinion, but I am falling more in line with MB's and Nancy's opinion.  I may not like it quite as much as Nancy, but my reaction was more or less relief, after hearing the feedback from the screening. 

I like humor, and I am fine with most of the humor that was displayed in the trailer.  Maybe one or two things seem over the top/silly, but that happens sometimes, when I see a film where I like 99% of the lines but roll my eyes at a few and wish they were cut. But to me, the tone is more of what I wanted (ie., Sleepy Hollow/Sweeney Todd) where there are some laughs but it doesn't seem like it's going to be ha ha laugh-track funny at every moment.  I feel that there will be enough thrills and chills to satisfy me- at least I hope there will!

As for Barnabas' line "I'm a vampire, madam."  As a few have pointed out, here, we don't really know who he is saying this to.  Maybe the whole family does know.  Or maybe he's just talking to Angelique.  (Or Dr. Hoffman).  Just a thought. 

I'm still not as happy as I was a couple of days ago when we saw the first few seconds on Ellen's preview, but I'm happier than yesterday.  I do understand and sympathize with those who are disappointed.

Oh, edited to add, I meant to say that the music in the trailer may not necessarily reflect what's in the film. 

Beyond the absolutely stunning look of the photos, one thing that I found interesting is that it looks as if Angelique had dark hair in 1772. Apparently she's a peroxide blonde in 1972.    And sort of the opposite of the whole Angelique/Cassandra twist of the original show.

Yeah, I noticed that and think it's appropriate, because I seem to recall bottle blondes being quite popular at that time     And just from the photos, which may darker than what we'll see, Bella's hair seems a little darker than I thought it'd be, too. 

Anyway, I've just checked around and don't see any sign of the trailer yet-- has anyone caught it on Ellen, yet??
