Ever since Heath Ledger's death last month, there has been much speculation in the entertainment press about how Warner Bros. might alter its marketing for The Dark Knight. Bat-fans will reportedly get their first hint of this new approach next month.
According to DarkHorizons.com, the next trailer for The Dark Knight is slated to debut with Warners' prehistoric epic 10,000 B.C., which opens March 7th.
The site adds that this new trailer, unlike the Joker-heavy first one, will feature more of Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart as Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, respectively. It was previously reported that Warners had always intended on building the initial marketing phase for The Dark Knight around the Joker before switching the focus to Dent.
Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has said that while the Joker is an important character in the film, the main story arc belongs to District Attorney Harvey Dent

Sean Lennon will score the indie vampire comedy "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead," which stars fellow celebrity spawn Jake Hoffman and Devon Aoki.
Hoffman (son of Dustin) plays an unemployed actor who gets his big break directing a bizarre off-Broadway version of "Hamlet." But there's a catch: The adaptation is written by a Romanian (John Ventimiglia, best known as chef Artie Bucco on "The Sopranos") who happens to be undead.
Aoki (daughter of Benihana steakhouse king Rocky Aoki) plays Hoffman's love interest. Ralph Macchio will play a mob boss who ends up fighting vampires. Jeremy Sisto plays a bumbling detective investigating the mysterious deaths surrounding the production. The project marks the feature debut of writer-director Jordan Galland.
Lennon scored the fantasy musical he starred in and co-wrote, "Friendly Fire," which featured appearances by Aoki, Asia Argento and Lindsay Lohan.

Cheryl Cole had a secret meeting with Ashley Cole just hours before she was on the red carpet.
According to The Sun Ashley begged for a meeting with Cheryl after she arrived back in England yesterday afternoon.
Cheryl has been on holiday with Nicola Roberts and Kimberly Walsh. She needed space to think about whether to give her cheating husband a second chance.
She hasn't worn her wedding ring for the last week.
They met up yesterday in the Royal Kensington Gardens Hotel in West London.
A source told The Sun: "Cole knew this was his last chance, but he still hasn't been forgiven. Just a couple of hours before the Brits they had a showdown and Cheryl was a wreck.
"All the recovering she has done in the last three weeks was blown away by seeing Ashley again."
It is thought Cheryl has told Ashley that their marriage is over.
Only hours later Cheryl appeared on the red carpet with Girls Aloud. She wore a canary yellow mini dress and smiled for the cameras.
An onlooker told The Sun: "Cheryl was putting on a brave face and looked incredible. But she kept going out for cigarettes and pep talks with a male pal and mate Nicola. She was clearly still hurting."

Nick Lachey and his girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo, don't really do anything beyond getting paid to show up at events or frolic at tropical resorts that need free press - so you'd think they'd appreciate their easy-money lifestyles. Wrong! According to a source at JC Penney's "American Living" launch at Skylight on Hudson Street, "Nick was complaining the whole time he was there. He started whining, 'When can I get out of here?' and refusing to take photos. That's what he was paid to show up for." A rep for Lachey told us, "Nick stayed and watched the entire Rascal Flatts performance at the event and had a great time."

It's double the baby joy for Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony: They're the proud new parents of twins, a boy and a girl, Lopez's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
The babies were born at 12:45 a.m. ET on Friday in Long Island, N.Y., says her rep, Simon Fields.
They're the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth for Anthony, 39. The couple celebrated the impending births with a baby shower in New York on Jan. 19. "They were just beaming the entire time," said one partygoer.
Longtime friend Leah Remini calls Lopez, 38, "a born mom" and very nurturing. "With our daughter, she's so great. I mean, lets her go in her closet and play with her coats or her jewelry. She's just so giving and loving," Remini said.
Lopez announced her pregnancy Nov. 8, telling the crowd during her final Miami concert: "Marc and I are expecting a baby!" The news of twins was finally confirmed by Lopez's dad earlier this month, in an interview on Spanish-language television.
Lopez Long Kept Pregnancy Secret
During the early weeks of her pregnancy, Lopez skillfully ducked the question, even when appearing on TV in October with Diane Sawyer and with David Letterman.
Lopez shrugged off the secrecy, telling Harper's Bazaar, "I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway. I was on tour with a bubble gut!"
And being tight lipped has long been Lopez's style. When she married Anthony in June 2004, her rep would neither confirm nor deny the nuptials had taken place.
What are not being kept secret are Lopez's plans now that she's a mother. As she told Harper's, the hard-working performer intends to take off time.
"Once I did the tour," she said, "I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I've had to do three things, including a video. It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathize. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit."
