Based on that trailer, I'm fearing it's going to contain parts of the "special edition", like the Cotapaxi scene. It sure would be nice if they put the power plant sequence back in.... but hey... this is my favorite movie, and I WILL be the first in line to see it come September 1st!!!!!!

I'm very sad.... apparently, only the REGAL theatre chain is showing CE3K.... the closest one to me is about 60 miles away.

That trailer is neat for those of us who've seen the movie, but seems to give away an awful lot to those who haven't... Agreed. I am pleased the film has been restored for this new theatrical release. The first re-release teaser trailer was intriguing, and well done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJVTdFhRfM But now they've gone too far. If you are curious, but have never seen the film, skip the new 'official' trailer link, avert your eyes -- even the packaging shows too much -- and head to the theatre, September 1. Meanwhile, if you want to sample how audiences were led towards this movie back when it was released, here's the original trailer, which runs 4:41 and spoils nothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxp32VHaYdE
