Warner Bros. has released their Summer Preview 2008 kit and along with it comes some new official details from The Dark Knight! The new official synopsis reads as follows:
The Dark Knight” reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good.

‘Speed Racer’ Trailer No2
Another trailer for the upcoming adventure of gelled up petrol head ‘Speed Racer’ has revved up and its showing even more curvy cars with gadgets that’d make a certain secret agent jealous.
Flipping, slipping and swerving out of control, this new trailer is just as dizzying as the previous ones. The only slight difference is that we get to learn a bit more about the titled lad (but it’s still mainly that he’s a really good driver).
The Wachowski Brothers leave the dark universe of ‘The Matrix’ behind and step into the almost Willy Wonka-like world of ‘Speed Racer’. This new adaptation sees the world’s greatest driver in the race for his life as he aims to take the title of The Crucible, a race that was previously run by his older brother who mysteriously died in the event – or did he?

‘Speed Racer’ – Two Brand New International Trailers
The studio that brought “10,000 B.C.” and “I Am Legend” Warner Bros. Pictures have released two brand new international trailers of the upcoming family movie “Speed Racer“. The trailers each last for about one and a half minutes and contain pretty much the same compilation of clips with different sequences.
The trailers showcase many never before seen footages from the highly anticipated film by the Wachowski brothers. The two video footages give out glimpses to the hard-core racing competition where a slightest mistake can cause a devastating result. Unlike the domestic trailer, these international trailers let out much of the animation parts from the film starring Emile Hirsch and Matthew Fox.
Scheduled to be opened simultaneously in conventional theaters and IMAX, “Speed Racer” will bow on May 9. The film follows Speed Racer, a natural behind the wheel race car driver, who follows racing competition to save his family racing business.

New Line Cinema Becomes Part of Warner Bros
New Line Cinema, who took a massive hit late last year with The Golden Compass, and haven’t had much luck at the box office throughout the past year will now become part of Warner Bros.
In making the announcement, Time Warner’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said:
“We are moving quickly to improve our business performance and financial returns. New Line has built a strong franchise of cutting-edge entertainment. We can enhance its value by combining it with Warner Bros. Given the trend toward fewer movie releases, New Line and Warner Bros. will now have more complementary release slates, with New Line focusing on genres that have been its strength.
With the growing importance of international revenues, it makes sense for New Line to retain its international film rights and to exploit them through Warner Bros.’ global distribution infrastructure. We can also take better advantage of digital distribution platforms by combining our studios. These changes will enhance our revenue opportunities and drive dramatic cost efficiencies and higher margins at New Line.”
New Line will now do so as part of Warner Bros. and will probably be a much smaller operation than in the past. Time Warner hopes that operating New Line as a unit of Warner Bros. will allow New Line to focus on the creative side of movie-making, while reducing costs and taking advantage of Warner Bros.’ distribution systems.
Trailer For ‘The Incredible Hulk’ Coming Early March
Marvel Entertainment announced its fourth quarter and full year operating results this morning, and with it came the news from Vice Chairman/Director Peter Cuneo that the first trailer for “The Incredible Hulk” will debut early March.
Since the new movie is distributed by Universal, there is a good chance that we will be seeing the trailer in front of “Doomsday” on March 14th. But if the studio is looking to begin their marketing sooner, then it will be shown in front of Warner Bros’ “10,000 BC” on March 7th.
Stay tuned.
