Anyway, the trailer didn’t seem like an Ang Lee film at all. Also didn’t seem like anything I thought it’d be. I was expecting more drama than anything else, especially since the photograph of Emile in black and white. It seemed to have a more sophisticated feel about it. Unfortunately, as you said, it seems more sitcom-y.

We’ll see. I’m hoping it turns out alright. Danny Elfman’s my favorite composer, so I was happy to see that he was doing the score, no matter how odd the decision is.

And that word from the screenings last month was the film was more a historical drama w/ a few parts that were funny, like you’d expect from Lee.

It remains to be seen how a theatrical/mass market trailer will look for the film, but hitting Demetri Martin fans with a targeted trailer seems like a good idea, no?
