Sony must've felt some sympathy with Japan's World Cup squad based on its actions this morning time. In the wake of Japan's crushing loss to Kingdom of belgium in the 2022 World Loving cup, the Japanese company managed a stunning own-goal of its own. Instead of uploading the trailer to its upcoming film Khali the Killer to YouTube, Sony managed to upload the entire moving-picture show instead.

This is a rather odd error to make. Khali the Killer has already been released in Frg on DVD and has been shown at the Portland Film Festival, Mammoth Film Festival, and at an Anthology Film Archives screening in the Us. It's receiving a wider release on August 31 here in the US. The actual trailer Sony was attempting to upload was for new digital and Blu-ray releases, which are presumably timed against the wider theatrical debut.

None of this explains why an employee had access to an entire rip of the moving-picture show (was information technology sitting in a file side by side to the trailer in a random directory?) or how no one noticed the upload fourth dimension for the 89-minute film might have run a little long compared with the average upload time for a two-minute trailer.

One read on the situation is that the entire affair is an try to pulsate up publicity for a motion picture that hasn't even launched yet. Until this afternoon, I'd never heard of Khali the Killer. I'm willing to bet that unless you follow indie films, y'all probably hadn't either. The movie, made for roughly a meg dollars, is supposedly the heartwarming tale of "an East L.A. hit man [that] decides to take one last job to help support his bilious grandmother'due south end of life care. But everything falls apart, when he develops empathy for the targets of his hit, and he's forced to make the toughest conclusion of his life."

As someone who considers Milky way Quest to be one of the all-fourth dimension best scientific discipline-fiction movies e'er fabricated, I'm not in a position to judge. But in a summer crowded with tentpole films and Hollywood blockbusters, how practise y'all make a small indie film stand out and justify its positioning? Perchance you "accidentally" upload it online, boot off a flurry of stories on the very topic. It's also unclear why Sony — which has conspicuously detected the problem, since it took down the movie — hasn't really uploaded the right trailer even so. As of right now, we can't testify you Khali the Killer in whatsoever form, and are therefore forced to offering yous the alternative comical styling of Carly the Human Hamster.

So many questions. And then little information. Hamster wheel antics that'll make your center pound. Also, despite our joke about Japan'southward World Loving cup performance at the beginning of this story, we'd like to note that both the Japanese teams and fans distinguished themselves as class acts this yr. Fans from Japan stayed backside to help clean the stadium later on the state's loss to Belgium last nighttime and the Japanese team left its locker room absolutely spotless with a single-discussion — Spasibo ("Thanks") — for their Russian hosts.
