Yes! We finally have the trailer for Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go.
It is set at Hailsham boarding school. It is clear that Hailsham is not a normal boarding school, from the peculiar way the teachers - known as "guardians" treat the students to the stern emphasis on keeping healthy and the external boundaries that separate the school from its surroundings. We discover as the children do that they are actually clones intended to provide vital organs for non-clones ("originals"). The students are not taught any life skills, though the teachers encourage the students to produce various forms of art and poetry. The best works are chosen by a woman known only as Madame. Students believe she keeps their work in a secret Gallery although this is not discussed with guardians (from Wikipedia).
Have you already read the novel? I haven't yet, but it's next on my list...
