A six-minute prologue to The Dark Knight Rises is going debut with Paramount Pictures’ early release of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in IMAX theaters on December 16 (the film has its general release on Dec. 21). Now the footage even has an MPAA rating. It’s going to be PG-13 for “some violence”.
The plan matches the screening situation in December 2007 where The Dark Knight attached its opening sequence to IMAX prints of I Am Legend.
The Dark Knight Rises opens in theaters on July 20, 2012.
