ANo. The only plot point the trailer "spoils" are the fact the George Harvey (Stanley Tucci) is the killer and Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is murdered.

It is a contemplative look at death and how it affects loved ones. While there are some moments of suspense, there are no true "plot twists" or "big reveals" as pertains to the murder. However, there are several unexpected turns in the story that relate to Susie's death and that made the book treasured by so many readers.
