Theatrical Trailer For The Dark Knight Rises Officially Online

Posted on Monday, December 19th, 2011 at 1:48 pm by TeddyBlass

After hitting theaters late Thursday night in front of the Mission: Impossible and Sherlock Holmes sequels, the first full length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is officially online. We say officially because leaks have been out since the early morning on Friday, but we’ve chosen to honor Warner Bros. request to wait until the official online release in HD. But since that time is now, I’ll shut up and just post the trailer. Enjoy.

Warner Bros. isn’t allowing any embeds at the moment, but you can view the trailer in QuickTime HD via Apple now. The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Michael Cane, Morgan Freeman, and many more. As the final entry in Nolan’s trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20, 2012.

The Dark Knight Rises Viral Campaign Continues

Posted on Friday, December 16th, 2011 at 2:00 pm by TeddyBlass

Yesterday, amidst all of the prologue and trailer anticipation, Warner Bros. sent out a special cylinder to a couple of various websites. On the outside of the cylinder was a map, and included on the inside was Bane t-shirt. Our friends over at Collider posted 17 high-resolution photos of the package and it’s contents for all to see. The ‘Fire Rises’ t-shirt isn’t that impressive, but the map on the cylinder is quite cool. It’s a map of Gotham City with five ‘strike zones’ scribbled on the surface. It’s clear that Bane has a plan for Gotham, and he’s intent on making sure the fire rises. You can check out a couple photos of the viral swag Collider got below. Read the rest of this entry »

2-Minute The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Coming Next Week

sherlockholmes rises 2 Minute The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Coming Next Week

Various reputable sources have long placed the first full length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises in front of Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows on December 16th. A trustworthy source of ours has confirmed this for us. They also told us that the trailer will be playing in front of Digital IMAX (non 70mm) showings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on December 16th as well. The 70mm IMAX showings of Mission Impossible will (obviously) be getting the 6-minute prologue instead. However, this offers an alternative to those not able to make it to one of the few dozen 70mm IMAX theaters.

We’ve also learned that the Government of Alberta just classified the upcoming trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Coming in at 2 minutes and 3 seconds, the trailer has been rated PG according to the Canadian Motion Picture Rating system. Judging by the lengths listed for the other trailers listed, 2:03 appears to be the length of the trailer without the Green Band in front. It’s also almost the same exact length as the first full length trailer for The Dark Knight. Could Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan be looking to replicate their successful formulas?

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows hit IMAX and regular theaters (respectively) on December 16, 2011 in the US and Canada.

Operation Early Bird: See The Prologue in IMAX 3 Days Early

operation earlybird 1 Operation Early Bird: See The Prologue in IMAX 3 Days Early

After the viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight Rises kicked into gear on Wednesday and Thursday, fans found a mysterious viral site for “Operation Early Bird.” The countdown displayed on the front page of OperationEarlyBird.com counted down to 1pm EST/10am PST — or basically, right now. There was much speculation as to what would be revealed at the end of the countdown. Would it be a poster? A trailer? Another viral video?

Well if you guessed either of those, you guessed wrong. Located on OperationEarlyBird.com is map with a form for coordinate entry. Located on TheDarkKnightRises.com is an audio player announcing coordinates. The coordinates, when entered, point to various IMAX theater locations. These locations are mostly the same 70mm IMAX theaters we listed the other week, with a handful of new additions, but now they’re playing screenings of the prologue 3 days early, and for FREE! On December 13th at 10pm locally, advanced screenings of the prologue for The Dark Knight Rises will be happening across the country. To get your tickets, go to OperationEarlyBird.com and click on the location nearest you.

This is a disappointment for those who don’t live anywhere near a 70mm IMAX location. At the very least, all of us gathered for a giant collective experience. We smashed our online user record on the forums. And is it me, or did one of the voices handing out coordinates sound suspiciously like Emma Thomas?
