I came across a link today to a trailer for a fascinating movie, which is also possibly fake. Barrelhouse has a post up called The GI Joe Movie I actually want to see, which links to this site, with an embedded YouTube video. A word of warning, the trailer is only loosely connected to GI Joe, and is quite disturbing. I wouldn't watch it if you are squeamish, though as several people have already said, I can't stop watching it.
The premise of the film Canzo Empyrean is this: in a future or alternate world, AIDS has become a pandemic and sexual intercourse is made illegal. Destro, a man in a metal mask appears as a savior/terrorist, claiming to have the cure to AIDS and promising "pleasure without consequence, pleasure eternal." The movie supposedly had its world premiere in Monrovia, Liberia, where it became a sensation. Seems a bit hoax-like, but that only makes the "film" all the more interesting. The inability to find a copy, or to actually see the film only causes fascination, increases the potential for horror and pleasure.
