We’ve received this information from Ringer Spy Ringer Rocks. I saw the teaser trailer in New York at a convention last week, at New Line Cinema’s booth. I asked the nice folks manning the booth when the public might see it, and he told me to expect it at the end of the summer. This might be putting gasoline on a flame, but I just thought you all might like to know. And by the way, it’s GREAT!

We are trying to follow this up with various sources, but it tends to support the previous report from spies across at TORC that we wouldn’t see a trailer until September.
