An RSS feed of new movie trailers on Apple's web site is now available. Oddly, the feed isn't formatted so that iTunes can subscribe to it. I decided to find out why.
So I wrote in:
Hello Apple Employee in charge of movie trailers,
I notice you have a handy RSS feed of the newest trailers on Apple.com. Thank you!
Question: now that iTunes supports vodcasting, why not make the feed subscribable in the Podcasts section of iTunes so I could download and play them automatically?
Thanks for your consideration,
Gina
Within 13 minutes I received a response. Thirteen minutes!
Hello Gina,
That is a great question about delivering trailers to your iPod. We don't have an immediate answer for you, but please keep checking in with our site as that may change.
Thanks for asking and we're glad you like the RSS!

Glad I like the RSS, indeed! Impressive showing of customer service there, Apple. Of course, I don't necessarily want to load movie trailers onto my (not yet in my possession) video iPod, I'd just like to get them automatically in iTunes instead of in a traditional newsreader, but close enough. So, something to possibly look forward to - new movie trailers on your hard drive when they're released!
