The prologue is just the first 6 minutes of the movie, not an actual trailer. And it will only be showing in select IMAX theaters.

Posted by: ShawnMR on Nov 15, 11:58 in response to Antibody's post A BATM3 trailer with HOLM2 on 12/16 doesn't make sense...

It makes perfect sense from a marketing perspective.  Get people out to IMAX to see the footage, then follow up with an actual trailer a few days later for the rest of the 95% of people who will not ever see or have access to the prologue.  (IIRC, TDK's prologue wasn't made available online until long, long after the trailers released.)

And to be fair, there's not really a precedent for this so I don't see how it doesn't make sense.  TDK's prologue -- which was also *not* the trailer -- at least had the convenience of being attached to another WB flick.

My thoughts on the [HOBIT] teaser release ShawnMR Nov 15, 09:21

You're just repeating what IGN says. BATM3 prologue/extended trailer is with MISS4. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 09:44

Incorrect. (By that logic, IGN is repeating what I've been saying for over a year.) Also, BATM3 prologue has nothing to do with the actual ShawnMR Nov 15, 10:51

What logic? In any case it's not an original thought. You wouldn't be the first or only one to think HOBIT teaser could be with TINTN. Antibody Nov 15, 10:57

Never claimed it would be, all I said is its my opinion (and has been for awhile). Read more carefully in the future before dimissing an ShawnMR Nov 15, 10:59

Everything you said about HOBIT was in the source IGn article, which you avoided liniking directly. Antibody Nov 15, 11:01

You can make the same case for the vast majority of posts on here, including some of your own. You're kind of being **** about this, frankly {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:03

Everyone knows link to the source is a major pet peeve. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 11:06

I agree, which is why I said it was an error (and is fixed). Unfairly painting my opinion as something else is a bigger pet peeve, with all ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:08

I meant you could have post a link to the IGN source with all the info, rather than to your blog. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 11:11

If I was just reporting what they were, I would have. But I gave actual reasons for my opinion...they didn't. {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:12

The mislink was a simple error. You fail to mention the fact that I sourced ComingSoon *and* IGN, the former which links directly to IGN's ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:05

Also, there is a very clear difference between a report stating possibilities and my own report actually detailing *why* I think what I do. {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:11

This is the key difference between what I wrote and what IGN reported ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:18

A BATM3 trailer with HOLM2 on 12/16 doesn't make sense because the prologue is with MISS4 on 12/21. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 11:32

The prologue is just the first 6 minutes of the movie, not an actual trailer. And it will only be showing in select IMAX theaters. ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:58

Also, your dates are off. MISS4 releases in IMAX on 12/14. {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 12:00

Noted, that's even closer. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 12:16

Exactly why I think they'll use that strategy. Holmes is their winter tentpole, I'd be surprised if they wasted a marketing opporunity like ShawnMR Nov 15, 13:29
