Book of Lies, Video of Buzz

By Borys Kit

A neat little trailer is making the rounds today that has geek tongues wagging. The video, which you can play below, has a veritable who’s who of geeks -- from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon to "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof to Lost writer and comic creator Brian K. Vaughn to author Christopher Hitchens -- talking about the purported connection between the murder of the biblical figure Abel and the murder of the father of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, as well as a tome God is said to have given Adam called the Book of Lies. It's part of a viral marketing campaign for author and comic book writer Brad Meltzer’s new novel of the same name. The trailer wasn’t supposed to come out until September but leaked; we can imagine Hollywood producers are watching -- and reading -- with enthusiasm of their own.

that was a ridiculously bloated trailer. and what was with the zooming? shame - the book is based on an intriguing concept which i would have been more interested in before. this just makes me want to avoid it.
