I found the trailer for CYRANO more appealing than I expected.
Maybe because the most obvious gimmick was overshadowed by the ‘It’s a musical!’ gimmick. That was unexpected. It also created another difference from the two definitive versions* I grew up on, which probably doesn’t hurt, either. So maybe it won’t suck? Guess we’ll see…

*I will absolutely die on the ‘Steve Martin was just as good a Cyrano as Jose Ferrer was’ hill.
Not bad, but I don’t really feel the need for another Cyrano. Steve Martin and Jose Ferrer did the job just fine, for me.
But will you also defend the “Steve was as good as Ben Kingsley at playing Silas Marner” hill?
Gerard Depardieu is the best Cyrano. Steve Martin is second, and Jose Ferrer a distant third.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen the entire Depardieu Cyrano.
