As we've been reporting for weeks now, Warner Bros. has revealed that The Dark Knight Rises is getting a special six minute prologue before selected IMAX screenings of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol starting December 16th.
Today, the studio released a full press release for the event which offers some more insight in what you can expect from sneak peek.
Warner Bros. Pictures' The Dark Knight Rises - the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy - is one of the most anticipated films of 2012, but moviegoers won't have to wait until next year to see the six-minute opening sequence of the film. The film's prologue will be unveiled exclusively in select 70mm IMAX® theatres worldwide. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
The Prologue will be released in North America on December 16, and in the UK on December 21, 2011. Additional international dates vary by territory and will be announced soon.
In making the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan was the first to use IMAX® cameras in a major motion picture release, and, as now, audiences were given an advance look at that film's prologue months prior to the Summer 2008 opening. Christopher Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on The Dark Knight Rises - including the film's prologue-to achieve unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for the moviegoers.
