The Dark Knight Rises Anticipation Station

According to Slash Film, and apparently confirmed through multiple sources, there will be a six minute prologue attached to IMAX prints of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on December 16th.

The second theatrical trailer will still be attached to prints of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in December. A similar situation occurred in 2007 when Warner Bros. attached a six minute prologue of The Dark Knight with IMAX prints of I Am Legend. The theatrical trailer was attached with the conventional, theatrical version of the film; the prologue was attached with the IMAX version.

As long as it doesn't look like that silver and blue monstrosity from Batman & Robin.

That would be pretty sweet if we got the prologue in December...but why would Warner Bro release it attached to a Paramount film? It seems to me that it would be logical to keep it along with the "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows". Unless Warner Bros and Paramount have come to some kind of promotional agreement.
 
According to AMC Theaters, the six minute prologue for The Dark Knight Rises has been confirmed to appear in front of IMAX prints of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on December 16th. The catch?

AMC Theatres can confirm that this footage will be shown in front of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on December 16th. (Ghost Protocol will release in IMAX five days before its general release on the 21st of December.)

However…

The six minute Dark Knight Rises prologue footage will only be shown on the higher resolution 70mm IMAX screens. Not the digital IMAX screens. Locations haven’t been confirmed yet, so stay tuned for an update on AMC Theatre locations that will be showing the prologue Dark Knight Rises footage at a 70mm IMAX screen nearest you.

Which basically means if you want to watch the preview you have to attend a real IMAX theater and not a LIEMAX theater. Which means for some of you that might be a bit of a drive. In any event, I am extremely pumped for this. I am literally counting down the days to December 16th!
 
Probably for extremely minor roles for short scenes for nobody actors that didn't need to be cast months in advance. Movies do this all the time.

Right. Movies are shot by location, not linearly. If you have a role that is only for a sequence of scenes or in a certain setting and those shots are later in the shooting schedule they don't have to be cast until it is time for that role to shoot.
