2.25s , Is that the full trailer that was shown at mtv?

I think the MTV one was 2m31, but I'm not sure.

Ok, I just hope they show the full thing. Hopefully we'll see it soon. I've seen nothing promoting TII in the UK.

Me neither, except for all the hoo-ha surrounding the 'new' song. The press were really duped by that song, expecting it to be brand new, expecting it to be released, reporting it was 'expected' to be the biggest selling single ever! LOL

I will be expecting to see the film during X Factor on Saturday or Sunday. It's the biggest show of the week and the last ones before opening night. BUT if tickets sell really well between now and then thanks to this song, they might not bother because there'd be no point if it's nearing sell-out status already. The cost of the ad might outweigh the potential benefit of running it.
