S

ony accidentally gave viewers a free look at Khali the Killer when a video was uploaded to Sony’s official YouTube channel that was supposedly the red-band trailer.

But instead of a short teaser of writer-director Jon Matthews’ film, Sony uploaded the nearly 90-minute-long movie.

Website Comic Book Resources was one of the first to notice and report the mistake, writing: “some commenters on YouTube began to wonder whether it’s a marketing stunt. Others, to their credit, worried about the future of the employee who uploaded the video”.

Khali the Killer follows a hit man who is in the middle of working one last job before developing sympathy for his victims. The film was released in Germany on DVD and Blu-ray last November. According to IMDb, the film will not be released in theaters and will arrive in the United States this August. (sul/kes)
