Explosive DARK KNIGHT Trailer

Now that's a great piece of marketing

Warner Bros. has just released an absolutely kick-ass teaser for the Batman sequel, THE DARK KNIGHT - click TRAILER for the preview.

Heath Ledger's portrayal of 'The Joker' looks ominously psychotic, miles above Jack Nicholson's portrayal in the original BATMAN (which in my view was way too campy). Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles in KNIGHT adding a touch of class and gravitas to the proceedings. The sequel is again helmed by the talented Chris Nolan (MEMENTO, INSOMNIA).

The $150 million dollar sequel (which will also will be released in the IMAX format) opens July 18th, 2008 in the United States and July 25 in the United Kingdom - I expect a U.S. day and date opening in Kuwait.
