According to recent reports the American theatrical print does not have the "red tint" which was associated with the Japanese home video version of the film that many feard would ruin the North American release.
The dialogue in the American trailer during the scene with Chihiro and Haku is not the same as in the movie. And there is still no word about theatrical distribution of a subtitled version.
