Well played, Peter Jackson. You somehow found a way to guarantee nerds around the world pay as much as possible to see your latest film, and really, I have to hand it to you.
Today it was announced that Paramount Pictures will debut a nine minute prologue to Star Trek Into Darkness on 500 IMAX 3D screens across the nation when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens this December. The clip will likely be the first nine minutes of the film, which is slated for release in 2013. No theater listing has been made available yet, but rest assured one of the UTG cinephiles will post details as soon as the information surfaces online. Until then, click through the jump to view the latest trailer for The Hobbit.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens December 14.

Having the first 10 minutes of Dark Knight is why Brandon and I drove out to Ypsi in a snow storm to see I Am Legend in IMAX. We almost got into a really bad car accident.
And last year since I had Christmas by myself, I went out and saw Ghost Protocol in IMAX to see the Dark Knight Rises prologue attached.
I think we’ll have no problems seeing this.
