Damnit...
"Where did the trailer for BATMAN BEGINS go?
Earlier this month we reported (through one of our most trusted sources) that Warner Bros. had completed a trailer for BATMAN BEGINS. The studio's plan was to strike a deal with 20th Century Fox and place the BATMAN trailer attached to Fox's I, ROBOT. A deal was reached between the two companies and theaters managers were notified via email and fax that the BATMAN trailer would be playing on their screens by July 16. Fox even confirmed that the BATMAN trailer would accompany its cans of I, ROBOT to theaters.
There's just one big problem: there is no BATMAN BEGINS trailer playing in front of I, ROBOT today.
The answer is simple: somewhere, someone at Warner Bros. decided it wasn't the right time just yet to show audiences the BATMAN BEGINS trailer, and so it was yanked from playing on I, ROBOT's scorecard. Instead, we're now told that WB's back-up plan is to have theaters place a trailer for either CATWOMAN or EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING with showings of I, ROBOT.
Additionally, instead of the new BATMAN trailer playing with CATWOMAN (which we insist had been the plan a couple of weeks ago), Halle Berry's superheroine flick will instead be accompanied by a trailer for SOUND OF THUNDER, the time travel-gone-awry sci-fi film starring Edward Burns.
So there you have it. If you had been one of the many awaiting the opportunity to see what the new Dark Knight looks like on-screen, you'll have to remain patient a little while longer. Nevertheless, it does seem a missed opportunity. Where else could Warners cash in on the combined interest of those eager to check out CATWOMAN? It's not like there's any other major comic book event taking place this month which will have the attention of thousands of comic book fans...
Unless you remember that the San Diego Comic Convention happens next week -- and a BATMAN BEGINS panel just happens to take place one week from today, with one of the film's actors and its screenwriter in attendance. If you're asking if we know something will happen for sure at Comic-Con, we don't...but it sure seems like a pretty good place to show that missing BATMAN trailer, doesn't it?

I started out in the consession stand, then to box office and then to usher, so yea, I've been there. And now I'm a supervisor/manager at a resturant. 
At any rate, we should get back to the topic at hand.  |

We had that as well. but after a while, the GM didn't want a lot of people in there (since a few people would bring more than on friend). I have to admit, it was the best job that I ever had thus far. |

I used to be a projection manager (and even after I left), I would still see movies at 1am on Thursday nights before they run for the public.
They have to be screened to make sure that the movies are built right. |

I, Robot comes out Friday. Friday, July 16th. Thus, you have not seen the movie. Thus, you are liar.
actually, my friend works in an AMC theater in Whitby where i live. before the movies come out to the public the staff get to have a night where they can bring a friend and preview the movies. my friend Kyle Main who works there took me and we saw it together. i'm almost positive that this happens in all theaters.
In order to prevent piracy, movie theatres generally do this screening one or two nights in advance, rather than a freakin' week. Anya normally gets to see movies like this. |

I have an idea! We could just wait for the trailer to appear on the internet and just skip the movie! That'll save youi a good $8.50 =D |

Liars SUCK!
I may go see the movie, Im looking forward to the Batman Trailer more than the movie itself though.
I dont care what its based on so long as there is non stop action and a decent story. With that ill be happy. |

I live a town over, and I'm one of the biggest nerds around. I know when the pre-screenings are. |

"today i went and saw I, Robot and it was pretty good if you like action and what not. if you go to see it take it for what it is and don't read into too much or compare it with anything because it'll be ruined fast"
Tell me, how is it Friday already?
Yes, I do. But I'm more or less banned from the place for being too god damned good. That and pissing off that jack ass John from Supernova. |
