Expect INDIANA JONES Trailer in Feb.

There's also planned releases for new trailers of STAR TREK and DARK KNIGHT. A scoopster has sent Comingsoon a tip stating that the first trailer for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL is currently planned for February 2008. This information seems to fit with one industry source of mine that also states the same knowledge. Nearly all of George's SW films initially released their trailers in February of that film's year and Spielberg seems to use the same marketing for a lot of his films. The tipster above says that this isn't a definite..It could also be released before the Superbowl (the NFL Championship Game) or even during the Superbowl.

I said a few days ago that the next two major Paramount films are Sweeney Todd (Dec. 21, 2007) and Cloverfield (Jan. 18, 2008). Well, the third major release is The Spiderwick Chronicles, which hits theaters in February. This tip seems to indicate that film for the first trailer of the next Indy adventure.

Next piece of information is the first teaser trailer for STAR TREK, another Paramount distribution. There have been reports that the studio wanted a teaser trailer made sooner rather than later in the 2008 year. Those reports were not lying, given the scoop. Paramount now plans to unleash the first teaser trailer for this film attached to Cloverfield on January 18, 2008.

Last bit of information pertains to THE DARK KNIGHT and is pretty much just a confirmation to something we already knew. Ever since Comic Con San Diego, reports and quotes have indicated that something relating to the film was happening in December. Last month's announcement of an 7-minute Joker prologue attached to the IMAX edition of WB's I Am Legend seemed to confirm those reports. It's now reported that a new trailer will also be attached to the standard theatrical version of I Am Legend as well. So, the choice is yours, Maniacs. You can go watch the trailer attached to the standard version or you can opt for the 7-minute prologue attached to the IMAX version. Either way, I'm sure both versions will be released online later in the month.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL opens in theaters May 22, 2008.

THE DARK KNIGHT hits theaters July 18, 2008.

STAR TREK hits theaters Christmas Day 2008.
