I really love Ang Lee. So you can bet that I’m looking forward to this film. And the trailer was just enough to wet my appetite. It really doesn’t show us much, but it clearly conveys what the story is about and gives us a good idea of what the general mood of the film is going to be. And I think that is just the right way to go with this film.

I’m afraid you’ll find this, along with many YouTube uploads of the trailer, is no longer available. Focus Features recently made a bunch of copyright complaints, and those of us who’d put it up got warned.
It’s the company’s legitimate right, of course. But I can’t help feeling they’re wrongheaded in doing this. After all, the uploads merely help get the word out — certainly, none of us on YouTube are out to stop them from making money, and we don’t reap any financial rewards ourselves.

Studios generally seem to be ok with trailers being posted to youtube and widely distributed. Apparently this specific trailer wasn’t supposed to be out yet (or at all) and that is why they are being more aggressive. Still, I don’t think having it removed helps them at all at this point, from a marketing perspective
