Fake Trailer

[Bruce Baird]

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
