Some people say that the trailers are better than the movies, well what about when the trailer is the movie?

Sony Pictures Entertainment “accidentally” posted a whole movie on YouTube in place of the trailer. Thousands of people reportedly watched the film before it was removed from the streaming service hours later.

The movie in question was “Khali the Killer” – a low-budget film about a hitman from Los Angeles and starring Richard Cabral (“Lethal Weapon”), Ryan Dorsey (“Pitch”), and Corina Calderon (“Suicide Squad”). It isn’t scheduled for release in the US until August 31.

Despite being labelled as a trailer, the video uploaded to the streaming service on Tuesday turned out to be the entire 90-minute feature. It took over six hours for the “mistake” to be rectified and eventually the video was pulled down.

Fans who managed to spot the “error” took to social media to poke fun, and some suggested that the upload was an intentional publicity stunt. The movie, which has already been released in parts of Europe, has received very little attention.

“It’s almost like this is a viral marketing gimmick for a film they didn’t expect to generate a lot of buzz on its own or something,” one Reddit user wrote.

“There is no way that, after four hours, they have not recognised their mistake and taken it down again. This seems like an intentional marketing stunt,” wrote a fellow skeptic.

Another added: “It takes much longer to upload a feature-length film than a trailer. Presumably, someone would have asked why it’s taking so long.”

One person joked: “What if this is still just a trailer and the full film is actually 130 hours long?”

Even the film’s director, Jon Matthews, took to Twitter to crack a joke about the situation.

It’s not the first time Sony has been subject to this kind of controversy, in 2014, the company was hacked by a group who leaked several movies, TV shows, personal emails, and private employee data.
