Well, it took long enough. Warner Bros. has finally pulled back the curtain on the hotly anticipated six-minute opening sequence from "The Dark Knight Rises."
/Film originally broke the story in October, reporting that a short prologue would run on select IMAX screens before showings of "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." For over a month, the studio had remained silent on the topic, and when the AMC theater chain released a statement confirming the report, the post was removed soon afterward.
When the MPAA handed down a PG-13 rating for the prologue alone, the event was all but confirmed.
Now, an official statement from Warner Bros. is reiterating most everything previously said about the preview. It will last six minutes and consist of the film's first sequence. The clip was shot on the IMAX 15 perf 65mm/70mm film that director Christopher Nolan used for several key action sequences during "The Dark Knight."
There has been much speculation about the content of the preview. This month's issue of Empire confirmed that the prologue would introduce Tom Hardy's Bane.
Unfortunately for some Batman fans, as previously stated, the "Dark Knight Rises" prologue will only play before "Ghost Protocol" on screens using true 70mm IMAX projection, so theaters with the more common digital projection will not get the preview. All told, only 42 screens in the U.S. and Canada will show it.
Here is a list of the theaters where you can catch the "Dark Knight Rises" prologue starting December 16:
Austin, TX - IMAX Theater Austin Boston, MA - Jordan's IMAX - Natick Boston, MA - IMAX 3D Theatre in Reading Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Theatre Chinook 16 Chantilly, VA - Udvar-Hazy Center IMAX Chicago, IL - Navy Pier IMAX Theatre Des Moines, IA - SCI IMAX Dome Theater Detroit, MI - Henry Ford IMAX - Dearborn Edmonton, AB - Scotiabank Theatre Edmonton Harrisburg, PA - Whitaker Center for Science & the Arts Houston, TX - Houston Marq*e Stadium 22 + IMAX Indianapolis - White River IMAX Los Angeles, CA - Irvine Spectrum 21 + IMAX - Irvine Los Angeles, CA - RAVE 18 + IMAX Los Angeles, CA - Ontario Palace Stadium 22 + IMAX - Ontario Los Angeles, CA - CityWalk Stadium 19 with IMAX - Universal City Madison, WI - Star Fitchburg 18 with IMAX - Fitchburg Miami, FL - AutoNation IMAX - Fort Lauderdale Minneapolis, MN - Great Clips IMAX - Apple Valley Montreal, QC - Cinema Banque Scotia Montreal Nashville,TN - Opry Mills Stadium 20 + IMAX New York, NY - Lincoln Square 13 with IMAX New York, NY - Palisades IMAX - West Nyack Omaha, NE - Star Cinema 16 with IMAX - Council Bluffs Orlando, FL - Regal Pointe Orlando Stadium 20 + IMAX Ottawa, ON - SilverCity Gloucester + IMAX - Gloucester Palm Springs, CA - Desert IMAX Theatre - Cathedral City Philadelphia, PA - IMAX at the Tropicana - Atlantic City Philadelphia, PA - Tuttleman IMAX - Franklin Institute Phoenix, AZ - Arizona Mills 25 with IMAX - Tempe Providence, RI - Providence Place 16 with IMAX Quebec City, QC - IMAX Le Theatre At Quebec Sacramento, CA - Esquire IMAX San Antonio, TX - IMAX at RiverCenter San Francisco, CA - Metreon 16 with IMAX & ETX Seattle, WA - Boeing IMAX - Pacific Science Center Tampa, FL - Museum of Science and Industry Toronto, ON - Coliseum 12 Mississauga + IMAX Toronto, ON - Scotiabank Theatre Toronto + IMAX Toronto, ON - Colossus 18 Woodbridge + IMAX - Woodbridge-Vaughan Vancouver, BC - Colossus Langley + IMAX - Langley Vancouver, BC - SilverCity Riverport + IMAX - Richmond
