New Footage From The Dark Knight Rises To Be Shown At MTV Movie Awards


Bit of a strange place to premiere it, ‘eh? A press release from MTV has revealed that brand new footage from The Dark Knight Rises will be shown at the MTV Movie Awards next weekend. Unfortunately, we don’t know at this point what the footage is. It could be another trailer, or a TV spot or……………………………….. The Prologue. But I reckon if it was a trailer or TV spot they would have said as such, so my money’s on it being a scene or two. Could it be the collapse of the Football Stadium perhaps? Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be in attendance to present the footage.

MTV today announced that the “2012 MTV Movie Awards” will feature exclusive footage from Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ highly anticipated film The Dark Knight Rises, with director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan and actors Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman on hand to celebrate the Dark Knight trilogy. Hosted by comedian, actor and TV personality Russell Brand, the “2012 MTV Movie Awards” will air live on Sunday, June 3, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Known as one of the most outrageous and distinctive televised award shows, the “2012 MTV Movie Awards” will feature its trademark individuality and irreverence. Fusing the network’s musical core with the wonder and amazement of the comedy, drama, adventure and mystery inherent to the movie-going experience, the telecast is set to provide more laughs, surprises and one-of-a-kind moments with Hollywood’s biggest stars gathering to honor fan-favorites from the past year.
