In the trailer, which uses CGI technology and is being shown in the US, former first lady Clinton is shown morphing into a blonde housewife holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, while Presidential adviser Rice appears topless with her arms crossed over her chest.
The images mirror the submissive role women play in the film, which stars Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick and Bette Midler and opens in the US on June 11, about wealthy men in a small Connecticut town replacing their wives with obedient robots.
In media reports in the US about the ads, Pat Gray of Northstar Marketing Group is reported to have told Kansas City TV station KMBC that "if I were them I'd probably sue".
The New York Daily News ponders whether Rice and Clinton will be offended by their new looks.
Nancy Kirkpatrick, a spokeswoman for Paramount Pictures, said the film studio had not received any complaints about the ad and not heard from either Rice or Clinton.
