it will end up on legal sites too, like apple.com (click on 
'trailers'), but not until closer to the actual release date.

yes, they are.


Bear with me, I'm on digest, so the headers are all mixed up. Another 
poster asked:

it won't be Matrix OR Last Samurai because neither of those movies is 
geared towards children and/or a younger audience. Matrix was R rated 
was it not? They have to be careful to run same-rated trailers before 
movies. At least they do, here in Canada. While it's the opposite in 
this instance (the movie being R, the potential trailer being G or PG) 
they cannot run trailers for AA or R rated movies here before a G or PG 
rated film. The rating for the trailer can be no 'harsher' than the 
movie it's preceding. Similarly, the theatres rarely run less rated 
trailers before a harsher rated movie because the target demographic 
isn't in the audience anyway.

Bear',  which I an seeing anyways.

this is definitely not going to happen. Brother Bear is a Disney studio 
picture, WB would never run trailers for a competitor's film. None of 
the studios does that unless they have some sort of reciprocal 
agreement.


> ("Matrix" is released on the 7th) and not a Warner Brothers film.

yes it is. Matrix is a WB film and it is the reason PoA was pushed back 
in the first place, they didn't want two blockbusters out at the same 
time.
