This week, everyone's been talking about the six-minute prologue, focusing on new villain Bane, which has been attached certain IMAX screenings—some have said it "will have your jaw drop," while others have complained about Bane's voice. Now, it's been revealed that a new trailer for the film will accompany Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, opening on Friday.
