"Come at me, bro."

Earlier I told you about how the first six minutes of the Dark Knight Rises (the prologue, I guess they’re calling it now) would play before Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, at “select IMAX screenings.” We had a hunch that meant the special advance previews at 70mm IMAX theaters that start December 16th, five days before the regular opening, and now Deadline is confirming. Good job, hunch, go to the head of the class. So I guess if you want to pay premium ticket prices to see officially-not-gay parkour master Tom Cruise swing from tall buildings, you’ll be able to catch a six-minute cocktease of a film that doesn’t open for eight months. Sounds like a great deal! I would totes be there, but I have to wash my hair or shave my legs or something really important. You should still go though, and if you do, film it and put it online. But, hey, don’t let me put suggestions in your mouth.

The prologue for The Dark Knight Rises will not screen with digital Imax or regular digital or 35mm film presentations of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Regular, non-Imax versions of Ghost Protocol open December 21. The list of theaters follows. Moviegoers should confirm theaters will be playing the prologue for The Dark Knight Rises before purchasing tickets. [Deadline]

Oh yeah, and NO RIFF RAFF. If you’re not wearing a dinner jacket or at least a tweed coat with leather elbow patches, you will slapped hard across the face with a silk glove and asked to leave.

Sidenote: Doesn’t Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol sound like it could be one of the books of Scientology?
