It's weird that there's no actual musical elements in the trailer. I can't think of the last time I saw something do that.
I remember thinking about how Olivia Rodrigo's get him back! would've been perfect for Do Revenge last year. Haha. Its placement here though? …Well played.
God, what confusing marketing.
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation projectMusic Is Eighth Notes, so there's one in the title. And that's it. I suppose they're hoping fans of the musical will already know what they're getting, and fans of the original movie who haven't heard of the musical will be drawn in by this trailer before they get jumped by songs in the next one (or in the film, but I hope they don't wait that long).
It’s not that strange, actually. Musicals have a history of that. Look back at the original trailer for Mamma Mia, there’s no hint in it that it’s a musical.
Not Three Laws compliant.Heck, look at the trailers for Wonka. You wouldn't know it's a musical based on those, would you—though maybe you would actually?
I like the actors they picked, so I'm optimistic either way though. I gotta rewatch the 2004 original since I saw the whole film when I was about 13 and there's probably a lot I didn't pick up on too.
Yes, because every trailer for Wonka I've seen has included the crowd dance number in front of his shop.

Why are people disliking the trailer aside from showing no musical?
“Boom! Boomboom! Boomboomboom! Bakuage Tire! Gogogo!"The trailer I’ve seen in front of Wish has a little bit of singing…
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.I’m sorry.
I think it’s just the original was a tough act to follow?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.It’s okay. I was wondering why.
Huh, that's a weird reason to dislike a trailer.
“Boom! Boomboom! Boomboomboom! Bakuage Tire! Gogogo!"The original is highly revered for one thing. Many now consider it a classic.
Wonder if Reneé Rapp will get nominated for Best Villain. Rachel McAdams did for the original back in 2005.
What was the song from the trailer I posted at the start of this thread?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.There are also those body shaming the actress playing Regina is just... like guys get a life and let the woman work without being harassed for once.
Either way I liked the trailer as a fan of the first movie and musical. So, I am looking forward to this movie.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadYou mean Olivia Rodrigo's get him back!? That song? Great choice as well since Do Revenge was about a year too early for it as I said. Haha.
That movie did have her song brutal though, so there's that.
Yeah WTF!? She without a doubt looks the part! Clearly a cliché to say it now, but: Haters Gonna Hate.
I myself wouldn't have picked Reneé as Regina, but that's only because I didn't know who she was until just recently—and even then, I'm still not totally familiar admittedly.

We have the first trailer for Mean Girls (2024), the recursive adaptation of the musical of the movie. Tina Fey and Tim Meadows are back, and it looks and sounds good, honestly:
