Trailer set to air on Feb 1st January 10th, 2009

Vari­ety have con­firmed rumors that the first Revenge of the Fallen trailer will make its appear­ance dur­ing the Super­bowl on Feb­ru­ary 1st:

Nearly every stu­dio will push pics dur­ing the big game, air­ing on NBC Feb. 1, with the movie lineup nat­u­rally made up of sum­mer tent­poles whose stu­dios hope to appeal to the nearly 100 U.S. mil­lion view­ers that tune in to the broadcast.

Con­firmed for this year’s ros­ter are high-profile titles like Paramount’s “Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Star Trek” and “G.I. Joe”; Sony’s “Angels and Demons”; Dream­Works Animation’s “Mon­sters vs. Aliens”; and Universal’s “Land of the Lost” and its fourth install­ment in “The Fast and the Furi­ous” fran­chise. Dis­ney is also plan­ning to use the game to raise the pro­file for Pixar’s next toon, “Up.”

The movie blurbs will in many cases show off footage from the pics for the first time. Par has yet to unveil a sin­gle frame of the “Trans­form­ers” sequel and will use the Super Bowl to make the big reveal.

Bow­ing the fresh footage will gen­er­ate heat for the pics con­sid­er­ing the broad­cast attracted 97 mil­lion view­ers last year and con­sis­tently ranks as one of the few annual tele­vised events in which auds pay atten­tion to the com­mer­cials and talk about them afterward.
