Fake Trailer

[Edan Corkill]

I always loved the trailer at the end of Mel Brooks' "History of the World: 
Part 1" - a trailer for Part 2, which I don't think he ever intended to 
make.

  Colleagues,


  This is question which may be specific to Japan cinema, or may be a more 
general question, but has anyone, either in Japan or elsewhere, ever made a 
fake trailer advertising an upcoming movie they never intended to make, just 
as a sort of meta-joke and way to draw attention to themselves? I am aware 
of unorthodox trailers such as that for Welles' F for Fake, but that is not 
quite what I have in mind.  What I have in mind is a trailer that purports 
to be about an entirely new and upcoming movie, and is presumably sent along 
with a current movie, but which depicts a movie that no one ever intends to 
make.


  Best,


  Bruce
