Anybody see that barcode at the very end of the trailer?


At the very end of the trailer a bar-code, (one of the ones you scan with your phone) popped up. I've been trying for to pause on it for like 20 minutes now and am just curious to what it is. its got me interested.

I noticed it too but it moves too fast to pause the image. I would guess that it take you to the film website.

It's about what you'd expect.

And it took about 20 attempts to pause/play it to advance to the one frame or so you actually see the code for. But the whole film is on there so not a bad trade off.

lol I got super lucky and hit it first shot ......the disappointment came after.

Sorry, Had to Edit.
Edit; I did like it but I hate shorts, most movies(not Films) can be mostly summed up in a long trailer, Take Cloverfield. u could edit that movie to about 18-22 min and miss nothing but it was a neat concept just well .... stupid and sickening to watch.
So really I do Like it, it was really cool just far far to short that was the disappointment but I get it. First time out "Look what I can do !!!!!" sort of thing and for that it was fantastic!!

I seen it, and just by chance clicked the slider back to the exact moment it popped up. I then Scanned the barcode and it linked me to a web address and downloaded the full movie. I love little easter eggs, especially in trailers because sometimes you get good things out of them and sometimes it's just more promotion for the films. This was one of the "good easter eggs" and what is funny I think the whole movie in the general public areas is around 20-30 minutes (I can't remember exactly) however the barcode gave me a 55 minute version...So I dunno if it was a unique experience or a random freebie. Also sorry to be late to the party, I had just forgot all about this while I was cleaning out my IMDB folder and seen the question and thought I would reply.
