Varying aspect ratios on the same film?

I just got done watching the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" DVD, and I have a question.

How is it that the film itself is presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but the trailer is in 1.85:1? I am beginning to understand the various types of film and framing, but this escapes me.

My only hunch is that the film itself was shot in Super 35, then the 2.35:1 frame was extracted for the film, and a 1.85:1 frame was extracted for the trailer.

Am I completely off base here?
