'Dark Knight Rises' And The Most Epic Movie Awards Reveals Ever! - MTV.com

UNIVERSAL CITY, California â€" "The Dark Knight Rises" is still over a month away from hitting theaters, but you'll get a brand-new look at the hotly awaited superhero flick this Sunday during the 2012 MTV Movie Awards. We're presenting exclusive footage from the film during the show, though the specifics remain under wraps â€" exactly as the mysterious Batman would want it.

"I was put in a room, the door was locked, I was handcuffed, I had a bag over my head, the bag was revealed, they pressed play on the DVD, and I'm sworn to secrecy â€" but I'm telling you, it's good," Movie Awards director Hamish Hamilton told MTV News when we asked him about the "Dark Knight" footage. As we said: mysterious â€" but presumably awesome.

Indeed, if Movie Awards history tells us anything, the "Dark Knight Rises" footage will be a beautiful sight to behold. Our annual awards show has a strong track record when it comes to rewarding viewers and attendees with cool, exclusive sneak peeks at the coming year's hottest flicks. From sparkly skinned vampires to robots in disguise, here are five of the all-time best Movie Awards footage premieres:

"Twilight" (2008)
The first look that started a phenomenon. In 2008, we unveiled the first complete scene from "Twilight," featuring superstars-in-the-making Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in their most iconic roles to date. It was an action-packed scene, too, ripped straight out of the climax of "Twilight" where Bella is being brutalized by bad vamp James â€" until a certain pale-skinned mega-hunk flies in to save the day.

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (2009)
Eventual outcome aside, our excitement for "Revenge of the Fallen" ahead of the movie's release was through the roof. And we were equally psyched to debut an exclusive clip from the second "Transformers" movie at the Movie Awards in 2009, showing Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky and Megan Fox's Mikaela Banes fighting for their lives against a Decepticon spy. Just as exciting was our exclusive reveal of the Fallen himself. LaBeouf gave MTV News the exclusive first details about the monstrous villain that more than whetted our appetite for the film to come.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010)
Even if it wasn't a box-office hit, "Scott Pilgrim" remains one of our favorite flicks from 2010 â€" and our excitement hit an all-time high when we got a first look at the film at the 2010 Movie Awards. The scene, presented by director Edgar Wright, centered on heroic loser Scott's battle against the second (and most famous) of Ramona Flowers' evil exes: Lucas Lee, the skater-boy celebrity played by eventual "Captain America" star Chris Evans. It was our first fully formed look at Wright's frenetic vision, and the scene shown at the Movie Awards ended up being one of the highlights of the final film.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" (2011)
Just as we were the first to bring the beginning of "Twilight" to the masses, so too were we there for the beginning of the end. The first trailer for the "Twilight" finale's opening act â€" "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" â€" premiered at last year's Movie Awards and was met with all the fanfare you'd expect. Twilighters oohed and ahhed over the first glimpses of Edward and Bella's hotly awaited wedding, not to mention gratuitous shots of shirtless Jacob Black. The "Breaking Dawn" trailer was the talk of the Movie Awards that year. Though it had to share some of the spotlight with ...

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" (2011)
"The boy who lived ... come to die." The wicked Lord Voldemort's cruel words sent shivers down fans' spines when a brand-new clip from the "Harry Potter" finale premiered at last year's Movie Awards. Easily one of the greatest footage reveals in the show's history, if not the greatest, this look at "Deathly Hallows, Part 2" rocked the "Potter" community to the core for showing such a pivotal scene so far in advance of the film's theatrical release. Harry's walk through the Forbidden Forest to meet his maker at the hands of You Know Who stands out as one of the strongest scenes in "Potter" history, and we're thrilled to have been able to supply fans worldwide with their very first look.

Suri Cruise is set to start first grade in style at a pricey new Manhattan private school this year. Katie Holmes enrolled 6-year-old Suri at Avenues, a nearly $40,000-a-year school set to open this fall, Life & Style reported. “Katie has eagerly been telling Suri all about the lunchrooms, basketball courts and different activities Avenues offers.

Review: 'The Raven' is a feeble fictional story - CNN

John Cusack stars as Edgar Allan Poe in "The Raven." John Cusack plays Edgar Allan Poe in "The Raven" Peter Travers: Cusack, who plays Poe with just the right blend of romantic longing and tortuous doubt Travers: Cusack captures that desperation vividly enough ( Rolling Stone ) -- There's a promising premise on the boil here. What if Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) spent the last days of his life trying to nab a serial killer who's been using macabre ideas from Poe's short stories to off his victims? "The Pit and the Pendulum," anyone? OK, "The Raven" sounds like a TV series that gets canceled soon after its debut. But it has compensations, chief of which is John Cusack , who plays Poe with just the right blend of romantic longing and tortuous doubt. Director James McTeigue (" V for Vendetta "), an assistant to the Wachowski brothers on " The Matrix ," pulls us i...
