If this is attatched to The Dark Knight Rises, will it be an IMAX exclusive? I have tickets booked for a regular showing (No IMAX unfortunately) on friday night, what are the chances that it'll be attatched to a regular screening?

I’d say no chance at all, this is being talked about as an IMAX exclusive.

[DamnCoffee]

Damn. Nevernind then. The best bet is that they release two versions tomorrow, a cut down teaser trailer #2 and an extended 3 minute one for IMAX, but that seems unlikely.

If there was a cut-down version, I'd also have expected it to have been classified on the BBFC website, so I think it's probably only the IMAX version for now. I'm confident it will surface online relatively soon though; the studio won't want any pirated copies of the trailer springing up on YouTube, etc.

[DamnCoffee]

What do you think are the chances of it appearing today? I would've expected some update last night, but I guess that the Comic Con preview kinda did confirm it's release.

[MattofSteel]

It will start showing up when TDKR Imax screenings start occurring in large number, especially in foreign markets, where most of the pirated videos nowadays seem to come from. This screening I'm seeing Thursday is a closed corporate one, though - and oftentimes they don't run trailers in front of those. I'm actually near the point now where I'm debating calling them ahead of time to find out.

[KM16]

I have midnight tickets for DKR in IMAX, if no one beats me to it, I'll confirm or deny.

tonight or the 20th?

The 20'th. I'll be attending the very first screening at midnight and I'll have my phone with me so if I have good signal in there, I'll quickly post if it shows if no one else has.

[x007AceOfSpades]

Hopefully they don't do it like Inception, where the trailer was released online a week or so after it appeared in front of a film.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

The Imax trailer has partially 'leaked' online. I say partially in relation to how much of the screen you can see.

I'm probably not meant to direct people where to find it, but I'll say I'm even more hungry to see it properly released in HD now.

Edit: Just saw the Skyfall Second Trailer topic and realised I'm late to the party.

[marktmurphy]

Thanks for the info; I had a look but it's almost not worth watching.
Hopefully this means it'll have a proper release soon, though.

[S K Y F A L L]

I have a good feeling for some reason that we can expect some more SKYFALL tidbits this week, is it just me?


JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN

[hoagy]

Well ? Hasn't someone who frequents the site seen The Dark Knight Rises, and therefore be able to answer whether a new Skyfall trailer is attached to this new Batman film ?

[The Shark]

I'm hoping it's this. If they don't release online, God damn EON!

[Mrs Rabbithole]

One of my mates works at the local IMAX cine-complex here in the southern caribbean, and confirmed the trailer is there. TDKR opens here on July 25 and I have my midnight tix. Security has been heightened though and the cosplay crowd might have to lose the costumes...

Just had a thought. Maybe they'll release it at the Olympics? After the Bond opening?

that would work........the entire world is watching.......that would be a good marketing strategy?

[DamnCoffee]

I think it's unlikely since it's all about the Olympics, BUT, if Bond is appearing in the opening, it would be a great chance to promote Skyfall. Maybe after the Bond opening, they'll show the trailer.

[Marketto007]

That's make perfectly sense Harkers. The best advertising ever.

[crheath]

I have a feeling we'll see it soon. The Man of Steel trailer first showed on Comic Con, then it was before TDKR, then there were people posting poor copies of it (by shooting it with their cellphones), and now it's online. The Skyfall trailer appears to be working in that order too.
Also, some people are starting to post bootleg copies of the trailer with poor quality. I think this should encourage the studio to release it online since they don't want fans to view it for the first time that way.

It's only been two days. Hopefully it's up no later than Tuesday. Thursday the latest. If not, it's heading down the Inception route which is quite disappointing.

I'm not sure that's a factor. For one thing, I doubt the studio cares that much about the fans. They know we'll see the film no matter what.The people they're trying to reach are the people who might or might not see the film. For another thing, if people are interested enough in the trailer to watch it via a low-quality cell-phone video, then the trailer has already done its job for those people. I can't see there's a downside for the studio either way.

Hopefully they don't do it like Inception, where the trailer was released online a week or so after it appeared in front of a film.

Eternal condemnation seems like a slight overreaction.... ;-}

But assuming damnation were in order, would it be Eon or the studio we should be consigning to the fiery pits? This is an actual question--is it the studio that decides these things, or the production company, or both? I'm curious.

The production company is just that, the company that produces the film. Seeing as the studios, MGM and Sony's Columbia Pictures are distributing it, it's all them. However seeing the James Bond franchise being owned by EON, it could be them. It's a highly popular and successful franchise, so maybe they are in charge of the marketing, and the studios are just there to distribute it to theaters worldwide. Heh, it could possibly be a joint venture, but I wouldn't be a 100% on that.

[# 11]

We will have the new trailer (not the IMAX one) in a week.
So if this is the one zencat saw, we might have the first official look at the baddy this week.

I doubt they would in the UK - it's on the BBC, so no ads. And I don't think the BBC or the Olympics folks give time to the trailer during the openinc ceremony. In countries where ads are shown, though, I wouldn't be surprised if someone had bought some Skyfall ad space (although it may be a little early for that).

We (the Swiss Bond Club) are in contact with our distributor. The stuff with the first look is speculation on my side.

[thecasinoroyale]

I doubt the Olympics would front a film, especially 'Skyfall'. Kudos is given to the character of James Bond for his 50th year and to represent a British icon, so I don't think they'd make it even MORE Bond-centered with a trailer/preview with the risk of being a big promotional stunt for the film, rather than for the iconogrpahy of the Olympics itself celebrating Great Britain.

Can't wait to see what Bond does have in store this Friday though...exciting!

TANGENT ALERT

Eon owns half the franchise. MGM owns the other half, the half that, once upon a time, was Harry Saltzman's. (United Artists bought it, MGM bought UA, etc.)

END TANGENT ALERT

It's rumoured that

Spoiler

The opening ceremony starts with Bond visiting HRH at Buck House for a knighthood, before catching a 'copter to the stadium and abseiling in.

Unfortunately there's not much known about it.
