There's also a trailer with French 'visuals' but English audio (& French subtitles and incursions), 1:55:

.

A high quality version of the French-French trailer is to be found

.

If the links don't work on your computer, go to fnac dot com.

Hi rdx,
  Congrats. on tracking down two other versions of the trailer.
   However, is fnac dot com or, I assume, "fnac.com", supposed to provide an alternative way of opening these two trailers if your first suggestions don't work? When I try "fnac.com" it leads me to a financial site and I can't believe that these two trailers are somewhere buried in there. Or are they?
   Any idea on why these two were made?

You're welcome CH!

Yup, the trailers are to found there, though in lower resolution; the links point directly to higher quality versions.

1) Type "Brokeback Mountain" in the field left of the button 'Rechercher' at the middle-top of the fnac dot com main page

2) Click 'Rechercher'

3) Click on the first BBM hit (Le Secret de Brokeback Mountain - Edition Simple)

4) Go down for 'Vidéo et son' & voilà: bande-annonce x 2!

There's a 'commercial' for 10 seconds before the trailer starts.

The French-French trailer is the very same as brought up by you and discussed here before.

I think that the French-English trailer is just an intermediate while they were making the French-French trailer, nothing more.

Thanks, rdx, for your very clear instructions. By following them, I was able to open and play the trailer. And yes, as far as I can see, it is identical with the version I posted earlier. In passing, I note that both the English and French versions retain the shot of a shirtless Jack - but, of course, wearing his black cowboy hat - standing on that plank bridge.  This isn't seen in the movie. I wonder why they kept it - though I think I can guess. And which deleted scene does it come from?

If you've got a spare moment, rdx, you might return to the Brokeback section of fnac and take a look at the fourth item listed there. It says it's a two disk VIP Combo Blu-Ray edition which became available on the 29th Sept, 2010. I wonder what it is. Do you think it's something new or is it a reissue in blu-ray format of the Collector's edition from a couple of year ago. I have a blu-ray version of the movie but it's only a single disc. If there's new stuff on this one, I'd love to get hold of it. I've had a look at a couple of major online stores here in North America but can find nothing about a two volume Blu-ray edition of Brokeback.

I think that the 'Jack shirtless on the bridge' "scene" was only used only for publicity photo purposes, not filming per se. Though they just happened to film that "scene" too and it ended up being used in the trailer. I don't think that it is a written/screenplayed scene at all. Folks with scripts/screenplays, feel free to revise my thoughts, please.

For the French release: see here and onwards (till today).

Pity the new release is just a rip off. I guess we'll just have to keep om waiting patiently for something new.

Just an added bit of info - it has been stated (I recall anyways, it's been some time), but I believe it has been said that the "Jack, shirtless on the bridge" shot is not actually Jake, but is a stand-in. This was determined after careful and exhaustive study, analysis, and side by side comparisons of Jake's arms and bare upper torso, chest hair, etc. with the scene photograph. Tough work, but somebody's got to do it.

Yup, thanks jackster for this reminder. Could it be that a 'second unit' (second unit camera operator and assistant directors are mentioned in the credits) did some 'screen testing' for Ang Lee with stand-in(s) without any actual script, e.g. Jack on the bridge. A brief segment of the screen testing ended up in the trailer and a couple of photos for publicity. Just my brain again... :i
