Confirmed: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ trailer dropping Thanksgiving week

Confirmed! The Force Awakens is getting itself a fucking trailer this fucking week in fucking theaters. Rendar and I might live through the entire trailer. Or our hearts may give out. Our dicks break. Our juices exhaust themselves. Either way. A valiant death or a wonderful life. This news piggy backs on the rumor I covered yesterday — that the sumbitch is dropping next week in 100 theaters, running before every showing of every flick.

There has been more speculation about the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer alone than there is for most movies at a whole. First we learned that it had been edited, and that John Williams had recorded new music for the trailer. Then there was a series of rumored descriptions. This week a report claimed that the teaser would premiere attached to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, but we were able to exclusively debunk that rumor and tell you that Disney has “bigger plans”.

So when will the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer debut? This week. When and how? Thats a bit more complicated.

I have independently confirmed with good sources that the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer will be shown in a limited number of theaters during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. I know that there will be a limited amount of theaters participating in the “preview.” I have not confirmed any more details other than that.

But there’s more.

An (unsubstantiated) report was posted on Reddit yesterday claiming that a ninety second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens would debut next weekend in 100 theaters nationwide, in front of every showtime for every single movie.

According to the claim, Disney’s agreement requires all of the 100 participating theaters to run a showing of Big Hero 6 as the earliest showtime for each day of the Holiday weekend.

If I had not been told the information at the top of this post from trusted sources, I would have completely written the reddit report off as fan-written bullshit — but its very possible this is THE PLAN. A trailer playing in front of every movie at those theaters during one of the biggest movie holiday weekends of the year — This is something unprecedented, and definitely fits our earlier report that Disney was planning something “bigger than that”. But we have not been able to confirm the reddit report. Also note the Reddit report claims the trailer runs 90 seconds while previous reports pegged the length at 60 seconds.
