See you at midnight.
I don't think I've talked about "Lord of the Rings "[LOTR] and the upcoming first part in the new trilogy "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" [Hobbit]. Mostly because I am not invested as much into that universe as Star Wars or Marvel (see previous post) but for the main reason, I have not seen the LOTR Trilogy beginning to end.
Before you start telling me to see them, I will tell you that I already plan on seeing this new installment at midnight for other reasons. For starters, this is a Warner Bros. movie and as such, they will undoubtably be playing their own trailers, promoting their upcoming movies before the movie. This is what has me interested.
The first trailer I plan to confirm being there is the new "Man of Steel" trailer. The previous trailer that premiered in front of "The Dark Knight Rises" did not provide much in regards to story but rather set a tone for the movie. This trailer had some fans skeptical about whether Zack Snyder was the right call for the Director. Warner Bros. needs to premier a new trailer that will get people excited for this movie is they have any chance of bringing together a Justice League movie.
The second trailer is for the new Star Trek movie. Filming is still going on and so far it has been confirmed that a new trailer will be premiering in front of Hobbit. But that's not the only news about Star Trek. It is rumored [possibly confirmed] that Warner Bros. is pulling a TDKR Prologue stunt in front of Hobbit, just like TDKR did with "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" last year. This will be showing the first 10 minutes of Star Trek 2 in IMAX screens only followed by the trailer everybody else will be seeing. This alone is definitely going to bring out the fan base and sell tickets.
The third reason I will be seeing it at midnight is not a trailer but the actual movie itself. "But wait, you said weren't invested into that universe. Just look above." I know what I said, and I am seeing this movie for the film production. In select theaters (AMC) they will be showing Hobbit at 48FPS, as it was intended, on the IMAX projected screens ONLY. I want to see first hand what all the commotion is about over it being "too realistic" for a movie experience. Click here to see the list of theaters showing the 48FPS.
But most of all I'm seeing it for my friend because that's the kind of person I am. I'm a good friend like that. See you at midnight.
