Even for a teaser that was pretty damn weak. But, yeah, as Dude said, the music is great, and I adorded the new spin on the WB logo.

A Matter Of Chance

That was cool, but I wanted to see some cast...

I thought the trailer was fine.  I mean, with names that big and catchy music/graphics, who needs to see the stars?
more than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. one path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. the other, to total extinction. let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

From Entertainment Weekly:

Despite the positive experience shooting Ocean's Eleven, Soderbergh wasn't thinking sequel. That is, until he touched down in Rome as part of the film's international press tour. "We literally went from interviews in London saying, 'There's no way there'll be a second movie,' to landing in Italy and Steven saying, 'There's another one, and we're going to shoot it here,'" says Damon. "It was his first time in Italy; maybe he was touched by all the masters."

Rather than start from scratch, execs at Warner Bros. went to their shelves and grabbed a script by George Nolfi (Timeline) called Honor Among Thieves. "It was about an American thief and a European thief going head-to-head," says Damon. "They kept the European thief very similar and divided the American up 11 ways."

Here's how the new story goes: A European crook (Irreversible's Vincent Cassel) helps casino boss Benedict (Andy Garcia) -- who's been trying to get back his $160 million -- finally track down Clooney and Co. To pay back the loot, which most of them have blown, the group takes Cassel's character up on a bet. "He's trying to prove that he's the greatest thief in the world," Damon explains. "So he challenges us to steal something. His rationale is, Once you try to steal it and fail, they'll increase the security, and then I'll steal it." (Zeta-Jones, meanwhile, joins the cast as Pitt's ex-girlfriend).

The film's multiple-heist, globe trotting plotline meant that the cast gallivanted from Amsterdam to Rome to other European locales, attracting fans and photgraphers wherever they went. "My girlfriend [actress Summer Phoenix] and I drove from Amsterdam to Lake Como," says costar and brand-new dad Casey Affleck. "Paparazzi followed us all the way into Germany, trying to get a picture of the baby. Finally we pulled over for gas and I said to them, 'Guys, you don't want a picture of us. Go follow Julia around!'"

So about that title: Exactly who completes the dirty dozen? Teases Damon, "The 12th person in the crew is revealed throughout the course of the movie."

Ocean's Thirteen - Acting wise, we'll see Damon next in "Oceans Twelve", another sequel, this one a follow-up to "Oceans Eleven". "I really like those Oceans movies. I'm proud to be a part of them. I haven't seen it yet, but yeah, I like playing the guy who's kind of hiding in the corner". Damon says the cast – which also includes George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts - are keen to make a third "Oceans" movie. "I know all the actors would keep going with it. Carl Reiner said to me the other day 'Tell me if we're doing a third one, because I'll stay alive for it'", he laughs. "It's a lot of heavy lifting for Steven [Soderbergh, the director], but if he wants to do it, everyone will do it".
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.
