From what I can tell from scanning the Twittersphere, it would appear that the G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer aired during “Butt Numb-A-Thon” in Austin, TX last night.  ”Butt Numb-A-Thon” is an regular event put on by the folks at Aint it Cool News, which often has sneak preview showings, early screenings and many other Hollywood related events.

Several folks on Twitter raved about the trailer last night, and judging by some hashtags, it would seem they viewed the trailer at this event.

First from the guys at Slashfilm:

“Just saw the trailer for @jonmchu‘s GI Joe 2 — this movie looks like everything I could ever hope it to be… Seriously!”

Editor of Movies.com, Peter Hall says:

“The G.I. JOE: RETALIATION trailer gave me a boner. #bnat13wolf ”

And also replied to Jon Chu with the following:

“@jonmchu dude, seriously it looked awesome! #BNAT13WOLF went nuts for it.”

Lastly, Devin Faraci, who has worked for several film related sites and currently appears to operate badassdigest.com, says the following:

“GI JOE 2 trailer has the Cobra flag being raised over the White House. AMAZING.”

So far this is what I’ve gathered from some quick Twitter related scanning…if anyone comes across anything else, let me know, but early word appears to be positive.  Looking forward to checking it out for myself!  Going to be one hell of a long wait until tomorrow night at 7:30pm Eastern.

Also interesting to note the trailer appeared before Tin Tin, which is a Paramount production, so perhaps that’s what we’ll see in theaters as well?  Tin Tin hits nationwide December 21, 2011.
