The Trailers with The Dark Knight?

With The Dark Knight hitting theaters on July 18, many are wondering which trailers they can expect to be released with such a highly-anticipated movie. ComingSoon.net has now confirmed which trailers Warner Bros. Pictures will be debuting.

There's been much speculation that we'll be seeing the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but it looks like Harry Potter fans will have to wait a bit longer for the first footage. Our guess is it will be shown with the studio's Star Wars: The Clone Wars on August 15, but that's not confirmed.

Instead, what you can expect are the first trailers for Warner Bros.' Terminator Salvation (May 22, 2009), which of course also stars Christian Bale, Zack Snyder's graphic novel adaptation Watchmen (Mar. 6, 2009), and the Ridley Scott-directed thriller Body of Lies (Oct. 10), with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.

Stay tuned for when these trailers come online!

I'll agree with Joseph Kerr39...

Christian Bale is absolutely on fire right now. If you haven't seen the Prestige, SEE IT! Talk about a phenomenal movie and he is amazing in it. Also, check out Equilibrium if you haven't seen it. Bale is pretty good in that one as well.

I just talked to a WB exec who said the IMAX prints will have a short HP teaser (30 seconds or so) and a 135 second Watchmen trailer. The standard prints will have a Body of Lies (90 seconds), T4 (60 seconds, and a different Watchmen trailer (144 seconds).

ENJOY!!

trailer checker,

Thats awesome to hear that there is gonna be an HBP teaser. But at 30 sec, its even shorter than the Order of the Phoenix teaser which was almost 45 seconds.

I've never read a Harry Potter book in my life and watched maybe 30 minutes of the first movie when it was first released on video. I have no interest in seeing or reading anything Harry Potter. It's one of those things that you're either head over heels for it, or you're not into it at all. Personally, I can think of better things to read or watch than that. Don't get all upset because HP won't have a trailer attached to the Dark Knight.

For those who also said they bought tickets for TDK just to see a HP movie trailer, you're completely insane. Who in their right mind goes to see a movie just because they think they're getting to see a particular movie trailer? As far as the movie goes, how can you say it will out perform TDK? That's a reach, especially when WB has refused to even give you a teaser trailer to this point. The Incredible Hulk waited like 2 months before movie release to show a trailer and look how that marketing strategy did. Yeah, at this pace your movie is surely going to beat TDK, the beast of a movie that has had the largest single marketing effort in modern cinema history since last July! That's right, and ongoing year full of goodies and marketing. I mean, HP has almost no news that I completely forgot this movie was coming out this year! Take that Harry Potter! WB knows a good movie when they have it, and obviously they spent HP's marketing budget on TDK, lol! : )

Anyway, looking forward to Watchmen and T4. Both movies should outdo HP at the box office.

I know. She didn't seem to think there was much to it other than the title, date, and IMAX 3-D information.

She did see the Watchmen trailer though and said it's pretty amazing.

Space Monkey - I'm afraid a 3 hour, R-rated coming book movie, isn't going to reach a very wide audience. 300 did well, but this is pushing it. I highly doubt it will gross more than any Potter movie. Don't get me wrong, Watchmen is going to be amazing. Maybe you should give Potter another chance. It's not a fluke the series is popular. Giving up on a franchise 30 minutes into 1 movie is really being closed-minded.
