DC's 'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer To Pair With Marvel's 'Avengers' Release: Confirmed
Attention, fanboys! Once again the earth is about to spin off its axis when comic worlds collide. I've confirmed that Warner Bros/DC Comics' The Dark Knight Rises will debut its 3rd trailer when Marvel's The Avengers opens on May 4th. 'Yes, our 3rd trailer will be out with The Avengers,' a Warner Bros exec just told me. 'We see this placement as a good strategic decision. We always want our trailers to be seen with films that people want to see ' and a lot of people will be going to The Avengers!' The pairing was first teased by the Warner Bros Exhibitor website, and spotted by NolanFans.com. Both 2D and 3D conventional showings of The Avengers (as well as 2D and 3D IMAX showings) will be playing the TDKR trailer.
This isn't the first time Warner Bros has placed a big DC Comics trailer in front of a Marvel movie. Back in 2008, the third trailer for The Dark Knight played before showings of Iron Man. (In 2010, interestingly, the final trailer for Christopher Nolan's Inception played in front of Iron Man 2.) When I suggested that newly intensified DC vs Marvel rivalry might preclude this kind of trailer pairing, the studio exec explained, 'It will provide the best potential exposure for TDKR. It's a big positive for everyone!' And certainly a boon for Joss Whedon's pic. After all, when TDKR's first major glimpse paired with Paramount's Mission Impossible 4's release in late 2011, it goosed MI4's opening numbers. The only question now will be which movie makes more moolah: Batman 3 or The Avengers. I'm confident that
both could set new 3-day weekend numbers. So far The Dark Knight Rises, which opens July 20th, has released two official trailers ' a teaser that focused on Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman), and a trailer that spotlighted the villainous Bane (Tom Hardy).

Hot Stoogery: The 3 Stooges Take On WWE
The Three Stooges stars Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe), Sean Hayes (Larry) and Will Sasso (Curly) are pulling out the stops to promote Friday's opening of the Farrelly Brothers-directed comedy for 20th Century Fox. That brought them to the last night's broadcast of WWE Raw, and a pretty funny encounter with grappler Santino Marella. The routine, complete with signature sound effects, is funnier than most of the trailers. The trio also got in the wrestling ring to vamp, harkening back to all those original Stooges shorts that sent Curly into the ring against boxers and wrestlers in shorts like the 1934 classic Punch Drunks. That's the one where Curly became invincible as long as Pop Goes the Weasel played in the background. Those actors the Farrellys found have the Stooges voices and slapstick down so well, they can take this act on the road when all this is over. Sasso wound up getting choke slammed by WWE grappler Kane, which seems consistent with all the punishment Curly endured in the ring during the shorts. Here's footage of both the WWE intro and Curly's Kane encounter. While these actors aren't big names, I wonder if Fox would have been able to get Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey to do this had they been cast in the film.
