  • alana13, on 07/06/2008, -37/+15i cannot wait for this movie to come out. anybody want to get me the already sold-out tickets to the imax showing in LA?

    by the way, i was anticipating a RickRoll. :(
  • alexkball, on 07/06/2008, -38/+15oh my god where did you find this i can't believe you found this i've never seen this on the internet before ever!!!!
    • jdornbos, on 07/06/2008, -1/+15Am I sensing a little sarcasm here?
    • halfdirt, on 07/06/2008, -2/+7yeah this has been around since at least 2003
      • kalkin, on 07/06/2008, -2/+8he's right sarcasm did start in 2003. april if i remember correctly, i think it was a tuesday. i was there...
    • thatsmyaibo, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4Here is another scene with the Joker. Starts at about 32 seconds. You really get a feel for his personality in this one and can what an amazing job Heath did. Can't wait for this movie to come out. As far as the video in this submission, it's been around for months known as the 'Prologue'. It will be on the Batman Begins Blu Ray special edition.

  • Ramzy, on 07/06/2008, -13/+378I want to, I really want to watch it... But i won't... I don't want to spoil any part of it. I've been waiting too long.

    The movie is coming out on the 16th, in Australia. Only 10 more days.
    • killscreenes, on 07/06/2008, -0/+31You lucky bastard.
      • howzitgoin88, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Best bit is, because Australia is in an earlier time zone than the US, we get it around a day and a half before you guys!
    • AshamedAmerican, on 07/06/2008, -10/+44There's nothing really to "spoil", just a bank robbery going on. I would recommend not watching it just because of the ***** quality.
    • xrisnothing, on 07/06/2008, -1/+18This spoils nothing. This was what was shown before I Am Legend in IMAX theaters. I only saw I Am Legend because I wanted to see this. It seemed like half of the audience was there for the same thing, as a lot of them clapped after watching it. It's only a bank robbery scene.
      • rpgmaker, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1No, they weren't.
      • jamez, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1They clapped for very different reasons than what you suspected.
    • ravage86, on 07/06/2008, -23/+22Dude, don't bother watching it. They really went downhill with the production of this thing, it looks like it was made with a home camcorder! Shame on you Warner Brothers.
      • cheese06, on 07/06/2008, -27/+2what the heck? are you serious? i am seriously at a loss for words.

        i'm trying to comprehend what you're trying to say. a guy at the IMAX theater taped it with his handheld camcorder, why shame on WB?
      • paintaddict, on 07/06/2008, -2/+22Buried for broken sarcasm detector.
      • fpaudon, on 07/06/2008, -1/+14WHOOOOSH!
      • chadwalters23, on 07/06/2008, -0/+7http://digg.com/general_sciences/Sarcasm_Seen_as_E ...

        "So what? I mean really, who cares? Oh for God's sake. Don't you have anything better to do that read this column?
        According to Dr. Rankin, if you didn't get the sarcastic tone of the previous sentences you must have some damage to your parahippocampal gyrus which is located in the right brain. People with dementia, or head injuries in that area, often lose the ability to pick up on sarcasm, and so they don't respond in a socially appropriate ways."
    • mywhitenoise, on 07/06/2008, -3/+8It's not even the first 6 minutes of the movie, it's a prologue to the movie. The only way you're going to see this is if you watch it online, or buy the blu-ray of Batman Begins.
      • djblac, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1really? ... no sarcasm here, I'm really wondering.
      • BlaqReaper, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Not sure if it's really in the movie or not, but it was shown in IMAX during I Am Legend as the prologue.
    • Unit134679, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Holy ***** man!...Lucky son of a bitch...
    • hotrodZoidberg, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8I...must...buy ticket to Australia...to watch two days early...can't wait...anymore!
      • Enroth, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2With the time difference its almost 3 :)

        (well if you live in America)
      • ggacid, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Enjoy your entire days flights each way... So you'd see it 1 day early, spend $1k, and get back to the US on the day it comes out..
    • UserNull, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Stay strong brother. We all feel your pain. Trust me, you're way better off. This is something we DON'T want to spoil haha.
    • SuperWinner, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Can I assume from this first 6 minutes that someone has already pirated the whole movie?
    • callinthelaw69, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I almost let myself.

      Then it showed an overhead of Gothic city...***** that; close tab.

      Can't wait. :)
  • AllButOneDay, on 07/06/2008, -22/+11It's the exact thing they played before I Am Legend. Too bad what followed was utterly awful.
    • therightclique, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4can someone explain why he was dugg down for in irrefutable statement.
    • TheHal, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2I can't explain... you are completely right. But I think that it only showed in front of the Imax version of I am Legend... not totally sure about that, but I saw this months ago.
    • egoideal, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Second that. I Am Legend was horrible.
  • amanilaenvelope, on 07/06/2008, -14/+213Damn it, i just spoiled those intense awesome first six minutes.I watched it and now i feel like a dirty whore.
    • Carnivale, on 07/06/2008, -10/+7I feel the same way...but it was worth it.
    • DatoeDakari, on 07/06/2008, -14/+2So does your mom after what I did to her last night :-)
    • mwaleed86, on 07/06/2008, -7/+1U DIRTY WHORE!
    • mcool119, on 07/06/2008, -15/+9Sucky sucky, five dorrah.
    • DarkReign16, on 07/06/2008, -2/+34Why so serious?
      • h4mx0r, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Let's put a smile on that face of yours!
    • EIderofzion, on 07/06/2008, -6/+5My argument is the same for mp3's You really don't know if the movie is going to be kickass unless you sample it online. After watching the crude streaming versions of both Wanted and Hancock I know right away I NEED TO SEE IT at the theater or even better on IMAX.

      BTW does anyone know that the scotch will smith was drinking in the movie? Gentelman's something,,
      • willskillz, on 07/06/2008, -0/+5Gentleman's Jack? that's the only thing I know of that starts w/ gentleman.
      • gyberedeemer, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Not to be a prick, but Gentleman's Jack is bourbon, not scotch. A quick Google search for gentleman scotch brought up this: http://www.wineracksplansandmore.com/6137.html which is possible the gaudy thing ever associated with delicious liquor.
      • Asheis, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I don't know.. I think it might have been a "generic movie" version of Jim Beam.. it certainly has a similar look to it.
    • seldon452, on 07/06/2008, -1/+18Wait, I saw this MONTHS ago. When I saw the Imax version of "I am Legend".

      Did I get a special treat or did anyone else see this before too?
    • AudioPhil3, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You gets the hose again!
  • Wootstapler, on 07/06/2008, -19/+11Why? Just wait for the ***** movie to come out.
  • vsujohn2, on 07/06/2008, -45/+203BURY THIS, OMG!!
    • banmaster, on 07/06/2008, -13/+77Why? Because you don't have the self control to not watch it?
      I'm digging it up just to piss you off!
      • vsujohn2, on 07/06/2008, -16/+4I have the self control, but if this hits the top list it will be staring at me all damn day. Don't need to be tempted AT ALL.
      • banmaster, on 07/06/2008, -2/+6Well I only saw it because it was in the top list, so I think you need to turn off your internet for a few hours till it goes away.
      • jtbell04, on 07/06/2008, -0/+17Which internets?

        All of them.
      • MrMax182, on 07/06/2008, -6/+1im diggin you up to piss he off.
      • erydan, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3This was a trailer, it came out months ago and so did this cam... Burried
      • dougd3345, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1BURY THIS! - OGC
    • Rekoil, on 07/06/2008, -1/+7Haha, come on mate, everyone here knows you dugg it =P
    • bdbr, on 07/06/2008, -4/+2Its not like it gives away the movie or something.
    • tunafizzle, on 07/07/2008, -2/+4I buried.
  • alankem, on 07/06/2008, -45/+11how do u kill the joker? with a bottle of sleeping pills rofl.
  • TheDiceMan, on 07/06/2008, -12/+47***** - I can't bring myself to watch
    • HHP2K, on 07/06/2008, -1/+19*****? Where?
      • TheDiceMan, on 07/06/2008, -0/+14I don't know, I can't bring myself to watch :D
      • hellahyphy, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I didn't watch it either. resist the temptation.
  • livintoolive, on 07/06/2008, -15/+1[Insert witty comment to be proud of the digg count later]
  • CrazyEddie041, on 07/06/2008, -33/+8I found the next six minutes:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
    • LacrosseStar, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1[WARNING] Rick Roll
    • petaganayr, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1Hahahaha!
    • Ganpachi, on 07/06/2008, -2/+6uuiU? ballsy.
    • Siteoner, on 07/16/2008, -0/+0Im just gonna assume thats a Rick Roll. Come on people how is anyone still amused by that? What are you 8?
  • AshamedAmerican, on 07/06/2008, -9/+91This has been online since December but it just now gets to Digg?
    • AxYoung, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2True, but it's starting to make its comeback because the prologue is attached to the Blu-ray release of Batman Begins.
    • Tyrghast, on 07/06/2008, -1/+13It was on Digg when it came out, but its good to reiterate that the best movie of the year is right around the corner with a great clip.
    • emehrkay, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1It was a good quality version too. But this only makes me more excited for the movie
    • solfizz, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1Yup, shame on you for not posting this yourself.
    • Kbennett, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1This version is slightly different (different cuts) than the one leaked this winter and is of better quality.
  • cadmiumpaint, on 07/06/2008, -20/+52Buried. Not watching it. I'd rather see the full thing in its entirety with surround sound and a giant digitally projected screen.
    • Rockmaninoff, on 07/06/2008, -2/+7You'd end up doing that regardless...
      • cadmiumpaint, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2yeah but it i hate teasers and spoilers. They just ruin the whole experience for me, when i finally get to see it.
    • EtherGnat, on 07/06/2008, -6/+10Is it just me or is it pretty damn rude to bury something just because *you* don't want to see it? Just don't click the damn link. I don't want to see it either, but I'm not going to go on some power trip and try and keep other people from seeing it.
      • cadmiumpaint, on 07/06/2008, -6/+5Yes its just you.

        Its not rude. Its not a power trip. Its what this site is all about. Users control content. I think something is lame i burry it. You think something is cool you digg it.

        Who made you the digg police telling people what they can and can't do?

  • SmellyFingers, on 07/06/2008, -17/+207Screw this! I don't care if it's the entire movie. I'm not watching the cam version of ***** DARK KNIGHT!
  • vinceislegend, on 07/06/2008, -14/+4Photoshopped.
  • greenawlives, on 07/06/2008, -12/+51Anybody else feel like the movie studios are pretending to leak the first 6 minutes of this movie out as a way to create viral marketing?
    • jayb1rd, on 07/06/2008, -6/+5It would be of higher quality if the studios released it...
      • therightclique, on 07/06/2008, -1/+6what an idiotic remark. obviously the studios could send some intern to get a cam recording.
    • Qumahlin, on 07/06/2008, -7/+13no need to pretend. If you saw I Am Legend on IMAX you already saw this trailer. Most people in the audience commented on how it ruined I Am Legend because you got to see the first 6 minutes of a great film before watching the horrible ***** that I Am Legend was.

      Also, for anyone who liked I Am Legend, you either didn't read the book, or must wonder to yourself what the movie title means since they completely destroyed that aspect of the movie and made it so that it makes no sense.
      • eraser34, on 07/06/2008, -4/+3Just watch the alternate ending and pretend the ending you saw never existed.
      • brettmurf, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Haha, when I said how ***** that movie was back when the supposedly good alternate ending came out, people buried the ***** out of me. Glad to see the masses have come to realize it was crud.

        The alternate ending made no sense with the rest of the movie either. So regardless of the ending, it stunk.
      • NuclearIsShit, on 07/07/2008, -5/+0I thought i was the only one who though I am legend was a super ***** movie topped by a welfare ass performance by Big Willie Ballsack. ***** him and ***** that movie.

        The Wild wild west... Big eared bitch.
      • daishin, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2You're right; I didn't read the book, I saw the movie and I LIKED THE MOVIE.
    • 801NvizioN, on 07/06/2008, -2/+5Why is EVERYTHING viral these days?
      Viral posters, viral marketing, viral words, viral meningitis..
    • thatsmyaibo, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3This was released months ago. I saw it in IMAX.
  • roessnakhan, on 08/28/2008, -4/+13I'm loving how much an influence Michael Mann's Heat is having on Nolan for TDK. Should make it one epic crime drama.
  • Akraz, on 07/06/2008, -13/+4Excellent article! Will digg again!! A+++
  • greenriver572, on 07/06/2008, -7/+9Yeah, I don't think I can do it either.
  • Jenadae, on 07/06/2008, -10/+108I refuse to watch any part of this movie in that quality...
    • banmaster, on 07/06/2008, -1/+6Huh. Its no better than the crap most theatres show with their penny pinching tricks like not running the projectors at full brightness and showing films so scratched and dirty you want to get out the windex.
      • gzusfreak, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Go to a theater that plays the films digitally.

        Or at least IMAX for The Dark Knight. Its worth the 2 hour drive for me.
      • nikehat, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6You're right, it is no better. It's worse.
      • AnOMNOMymous, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Rave Motion Pictures with DLP ftw.
      • Alegoo92, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1My theatre is really nice, and a lot of movies nowadays play in digital. Which is better even tho when the screen is showing a simple scene- u can see a grid;.
    • blanketfury, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1It should win an Oscar for Best Picture.

  • Mactard, on 07/06/2008, -8/+17v i deo is to o stutter y
    • beingdevious, on 07/06/2008, -15/+4pause it an lead it pre-load.. macTARD
      • xtractor, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8i hope you were trying to be funny.

        and*
        let*

  • matthewaaron, on 07/06/2008, -15/+7BURY!!!! Just wait for the freaking movie to come out!
  • mwaleed86, on 07/06/2008, -15/+5SPOILER ALERT!!





    *batman kills robin*
  • smmakira, on 07/06/2008, -7/+1No. He told the bus driver.
  • pistonhonda, on 07/06/2008, -6/+97This is old news. I'm pretty sure the clip was shown before IMAX screenings of I Am Legend.
    • Lynxplus, on 07/06/2008, -2/+17You are correct, I've seen this before and it wasn't a ***** cam job but a hi quality trailer. It is definitely not the first 6 minutes.
    • Qumahlin, on 07/06/2008, -7/+2funny, your getting dugg down for the truth
    • arunforce, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Yeah it was on IMAX, but watching it on the IMAX screen surpasses all. It's like a rollercoaster. It engulfs you.
      • jtbell04, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Maybe a grue would be a better similie to work with.
    • loveandrockets, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Yeah I saw this before IMAX I am Legend.

      The perfect heist. All you have to do is kill 5 people. And rob a bank.
  • Shiftgood, on 07/06/2008, -11/+3I know that was supposed to be exciting... but... it really wasnt.
  • anon748296, on 07/06/2008, -8/+1start placing bets on how soon it will be until the entire movie is online.
  • bs0l, on 07/06/2008, -2/+12I don't know why, but that bouncy menu for the player controls really pisses me off.
    • ChayD, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Boiiing!
    • analogkid01, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Do you *waaaant*...do you *waaaant*...to come back to my place? Bouncy bouncy!
  • TripKore, on 07/06/2008, -7/+1Down already. Super!
  • AxYoung, on 07/06/2008, -0/+23As mentioned, this is the prologue, originally debuted during IMAX screenings of I Am Legend. Better quality versions are now popping up online however, because an HD quality version is attached to the Blu-ray release of Batman Begins (out this Tuesday).

    So in some ways it's old, in some ways it's new.
    • bs0l, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Then find a mirror please, because this is down.
  • ericdano, on 07/06/2008, -2/+15Oh MY GOD, Stop motion Batman........or is it that the server is getting hammered like a two bit whore?
    • sweetnothing, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1Server was getting hammered, but back up and running fine now.
  • batmanz, on 07/06/2008, -18/+8Here's Youtube version as site seems to be down:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
    • ericdano, on 07/06/2008, -2/+4Love the opening music. Really sets the mood.
    • bs0l, on 07/06/2008, -5/+3RICK ROLL ALERT
    • Jews, on 07/06/2008, -2/+3AWFUL!
      Music seems repetitive
      Dialog seems to get repetitive.
      No character development at ALL.
      Bruce Wayne never seen AS Batman.
      But:
      Heath Ledger is AMAZING!!!
    • Albumen, on 07/06/2008, -3/+1Why I outta...!!

      Damn you! Rick Rolled. I feel so funky.
  • ryan9999, on 07/06/2008, -9/+1alternative link
    only the first 3 mins though
    http://www.worstpreviews.com/trailers/player.swf?f ...
  • WhoRadley, on 07/06/2008, -1/+7No.
  • acudoc, on 07/06/2008, -14/+6The continuing infantilization of the American populace with movies about comic book heroes....anybody else concerned?
    • kds405, on 07/06/2008, -0/+9You must hate yourself.
    • Albumen, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Yes! That's why I will never watch movies with stories based on the following:

      The Illiad (improbable story at best)
      The Oddysey
      Faust
      Moby Dick
      The Tempest by Shakespeare
      Gulliver's Travels
      Gargantua and Pantagruel
      Jonah and the Whale
      Noah and the Flood
      The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbitt
      Anything by Jules Vern
      King Kong


      They are all similarily based on narrative that goes outside of the realm of reality. Just like comic books.


  • Liv2bWild, on 07/06/2008, -5/+12Saw this already...in IMAX, before I am legend....10 more days..10 more days....
  • davecachia, on 07/06/2008, -6/+5Not watching it, dont want to ruin it!!
    • Siteoner, on 07/16/2008, -0/+0youre not ruinin anything! Its not the first 6 minutes its just a prologue
  • AxYoung, on 07/06/2008, -2/+312 more days...
  • ahughes, on 07/06/2008, -7/+2I'll wait for the theatrical release thank you. I am not going to see this with virgin eyes.
  • bs0l, on 07/06/2008, -5/+2http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/batman/the-6+minute-dar ...

    Only mirror I could find, bad quality.
  • VipeNess, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4LOL this is the prelude that is on the Batman Begins Blu-ray disk. I believe it is also on the dvd version as well. They are re-releasing it on formats this upcoming tuesday.
  • Beevo, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2Tried to watch it then felt dirty while it loaded, then felt somewhat relieved when I realized I'd seen it before (I Am Legend IMAX). Not sure if it's really the first 6 minutes or not, but either way it's a great clip.
  • BobbyMC, on 07/21/2008, -6/+1This is sweet in the sense that unlike the infinite ass spray of new commercials, I saw this only once way back when I Am Legend came out.

    Or it will be whenever it is fixed or linked elsewhere. I've had the image of the Joker taking off his mask oddly stuck in my head ever since, seeing as it was really ***** huge and I was pretty high at the time. Weed is necessary to sit through the movie that followed.
    • banmaster, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1Necessary? it should be federally mandated, especially for Smith's next flick. My god its awful.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1The Imax I AM LEGEND clip stayed on the digg frontpage for something like 8 hours, it was there in gone in a short amount of time, so don't begrudge them for re-posting it for the ones who missed it the first time.
  • 0zzy, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3there was a good quality version that I saw online, but they took it down. sucks for everyone else who had to watch this crap or wait! ...sucks for me cause all the tickets around LA are sold out for midnight! :[
