With all the traits of the Ha Ha Times, the film reel, handed out to the one lucky raf­fle ticket holder at each of the “It’s all part of the plan” events, con­tains not the nor­mal ver­sion but a “jok­er­ized” one:

From YouTube:

The film was a 35mm workprint in anamor­phic and was pro­jected off of an old 35 pro­jec­tor which can han­dle anamor­phic lenses. How­ever the dis­tance between the lens and the screen is not intended for such a wide for­mat caus­ing the image to not fit per­fectly on the screen, but this was the quick­est solu­tion to get this video to every­one else FOR NOW. Hope­fully within the next day or so we should be pro­ject­ing again in a bet­ter set­ting and will have an ideal source to record from (includ­ing good stereo audio). So for now, enjoy.

Thanks Pierre!

One of those that was lucky enough to be at the trailer’s screen­ing man­aged to get a low-quality record­ing of the footage, which has since been put up on YouTube in its ugly boot­legged for­mat. For those too impa­tient to see it, I include the video below (likely to be removed by the WB any time soon):

The final clue in the “It’s all part of the plan” game revealed a grid con­tain­ing all the let­ter J’s:

Each of these then cor­re­sponds to a let­ter that spells out “sit­ting­ducks” when unscram­bled. This leads to a new Why So Seri­ous page:

In this lit­tle flash game, each of the ducks rep­re­sent binary code, blue ducks being 0 and yel­low ducks being 1. 1st row: “To win shoot” 2nd row: “Only row two” 3rd row: ybbyyyybbybby

Com­plet­ing the game reveals a “You Win” sign:

The first of the Why So Seri­ous scav­enger hunt count­downs has ended — Lon­don is up and ready, rar­ing to go. The por­trait image has updated — it now con­tains a set of clues:

Omelette have the exclu­sive on five brand new Dark Knight posters, one of these is in the same vein as the offi­cially released poster which came through Why So Seri­ous, the oth­ers are in a com­pletely new style — and I believe, almost cer­tainly faked — their min­i­mal­ist lay­out which con­tains pre­vi­ously seen imagery that also strays away from the tra­di­tional Dark Knight font-set and lay­out are the clues. They are still sul­try and impres­sive however.

This final adap­ta­tion is almost cer­tainly a fake — reusing a Joker image seen in a pre­vi­ous poster with some poorly ren­dered burn­ing Joker card, via Film School Rejects. Though once again, I am post­ing it because it is a nice concept.

Before we begin — this is a trailer for a fan made, directed and pro­duced movie “Phil­an­thropy”, it is not the offi­cial film, the pro­duc­tion qual­i­ties on this effort are far supe­rior to the major­ity of fan ded­i­ca­tions to be found on the net and this should be recog­nised. A lot of peo­ple mis­in­ter­preted the first trailer.

Now for the trailer, brought to you by MGS Phil­an­thropy:

MTV have pointed out Microsoft’s qui­etly added new job list­ings for the Jack­son helmed, highly secre­tive Halo project:

“A Peter Jackson-helmed Halo project was announced at X06 in Barcelona,” said a Microsoft spokesper­son. “Since then, Microsoft Game Stu­dios has been hard at work col­lab­o­rat­ing with Peter Jack­son and Bungie on the devel­op­ment of that project. At this time, it’s nec­es­sary to grow the inter­nal team to keep pace with devel­op­ment. Bungie will con­tinue to remain involved in mul­ti­ple aspects of the Halo Uni­verse with MGS.”
