The early screenings of Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows are about to roll out across the UK this morning (my local Empire Cinema in Newcastle has a screening at 10.30am) so very soon we should start to hear some feedback about The Dark Knight Rises trailer that we are about 95% sure is attached to Guy Ritchie’s film beginning from today. Both The Dark Knight Rises and Sherlock Holmes 2 are of course Warner Bros productions.
IMAX confirmed via Twitter last week that the full length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises will be shown in cinemas from today, presumably with U.S. prints of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The trailer is timed at being 2 minutes and 3 seconds long, just 2 seconds shy of the length of The Dark Knight’s now legendary first full trailer but we have had no official confirmation yet that the trailer is attached to Sherlock Holmes 2.
Now in the past I have been burnt several times by expecting to see a trailer attached to a movie only for it then not to happen. Sometimes the reason is because the trailer that we were promised was only attached to U.S. prints of a film or other times it’s because the theater chain/complex simply have ignored a studio’s request and have just gone with what they wanted. These things are always hard to get confirmations on.
But… I want to hear from you this weekend. If you have seen The Dark Knight Rises trailer (or indeed the prologue with 70mm IMAX cinemas showing it before Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) I want to hear from you. What cinema you saw Sherlock Holmes/MI:4 and what trailers were attached.
It would be really great to start a list of cinemas that we can confirm are showing the film to help those wanting to see it over the weekend so do let us know…

I saw Sherlock Holmes at midnight (about 4 hours ago) and the new trailer for TDKR WAS before it. The trailer is awesome plenty of clips of Bane and Catwoman and all the other cast members. The theater went crazy after the trailer, no one was expecting it to be before Holmes. Only person I didn’t notice in the trailer was Marion Cotillard. Tom Hardy looks INSANE as Bane, he is going to be a real treat to watch. How many days till July 20th?
UK or US mate and what location if you can?
Marion is in the trailer though only for about 2 seconds
Just seen it here in Dallas and got chills.. We got a great film i think..

Full leaked trailer Dark Night Rises http://t.co/vmJaasZl
Oh and I saw it at the AMC Norwalk in Norwalk CA
Thanks :)
I know the BFI IMAX at Waterloo will have it! They’re the right screen and did see a pre-screening this week – but just by itself – I’m sure they’ve confirmed it as well from the 21st December though…
Yeah thay are showing the prologue before every MI4 screening, but the post is about the 2 minute trailer. Given how they’re not showing Sherlock Holmes then I don’t think the trailer would be showing there.
I just hope that UK screenings also got the trailer with the Sherlock Holmes print.
Just saw sherlock holmes in the uk (bath). No trailer for tdkr. Disappointed.
Think you’re a day early man! Unlucky!
Same, went to see Sherlock Holmes (more for the TDKR trailer tbh) and zilch :(
Disappointed…
Was in cineworld, Ilford, Sherlock Holmes. No trailer. Rubbish.
Saw the trailer (not the prologue) before MI4 last night at an Imax experience theatre in Durham NC.
A friend who works at a theatre in Arizona told me they got TDKR trailer in a seperate mail with instructions to add it to Sherlock Holmes 2… therefore, it doesn’t seem to be attached to the Sherlock print but seperately sent out by Warner Bros., they should get it out soon though.
Saw Sherlock Holmes at Midnight in Denver, and the only DKR trailer I saw was the damn teaser trailer AGAIN. I was so pissed.
Just came back from watching Sherlock at Apollo in Leamington, no trailer, was pretty angry
Do you know if TDKR trailer is only attached to MI:4 if it’s on IMAX? Or do you think if I see MI:4 tonight at a non-IMAX theater that I’ll be able to see the trailer?
You’re confusing the prologue with the trailer. The prologue is shown only on ‘real’ IMAX screens before MI:4, whereas the 2 minute trailer is supposedly shown before Sherlock Holmes. So you’d have more luck catching TDKR trailer by watching Sherlock Holmes in a non-IMAX cinema, than you would if you watched MI:4.
Cotillard is in the trailer. She’s at the same masquerade as Selina. Does anyone think the building where chairs are being thrown downstairs at the cops is the new Wayne manor? And is that Alfred being dragged out from under the table by the cops?? What I love about this trailer is that it is not a “Batman” trailer… It’s all about Bruce Wayne.
No trialer in Vue, Westfield, Stratford City, Rubbish!
@ Jacob -
No, I’m not confusing the two. My question is: Will the 2 minute trailer be shown before non-IMAX showings of MI:4?
I understand how the prologue works, and I get that the trailer will be in front of Sherlock Holmes. I’m also curious if the 2 minute trailer will be attached to MI:4, seeing as the prologue was attached to it already. Thanks for the help though!
The trailer is being shown before Sherlock Holmes, at least in Canada.
Details are:
It starts with a kid singing the anthem in a football field. Then if your observant you see Bale with a walking stick move towards a table Voice over by Alfred ” You are as precious to me as you were to your mother and father. I swore I would protect you and I haven’t”
Shots of Bane walking towards the football field in the first scene
Selina Kyle at a Ball dances with Bruce Wayne tells him stuff that goes along the following lines, “There’s a storm coming Mr. Wayne. You and you friends thought you could ” do something, something “and leave so little for the rest of us”
Shot of the Miranda Tate <<played by Marion Cotillard. Followed by a Bale in a underground prison kind of thing <<the dark knight rises chants are heard", he asks an old guy "What does it mean?" the old guy <> says “Rise”
Some shots of the football field collapsing following by a bleeding Bruce Wayne with Bane near him <> but Bane says “When Gotham is in Ashes you have my permission to die.
and other shots of Selina Kyle, what appears to be Bruce Wayne jumping from a building. A shot of the bata wing, Batman in daylight about to take on Bane and then the shot of the falling buildings in the shape of the Bat symbol by a white title card that says “The Dark Knight Rises”
