Source: Jeff Snieder (Variety)The headline pretty much says it all. Last week, The Hobbit actor Andy Serkis semi-confirmed that we’d be getting a teaser for the highly anticipated prequel by Christmas. I had speculated about where we might see that trailer, as well as that of Warner Bros.’ other highly-anticipated 2012 sequel, The Dark Knight Rises.Via Twitter tonight, Variety writer Jeff Sneider is reporting that the first full trailer for TDKR will play in front of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows when it releases on December 16. He also goes on to say, “…and MAYBE even a HOBBIT teaser.”
While this is still unconfirmed by the studio, this is a reliable sign that we may indeed see BOTH trailers debut on the same day and with the same film. If true, this would be somewhat unprecedented for a studio to debut trailers for two such massively-hyped franchise installments at virtually the exact same time.
Stay tuned as more updates come in on these two films, but for now, the countdown is officially on for December 16th now for many, many fans out there…
