Fan Trailers

http://kotaku.com/5643389/the-pokemon-movie-for-grown+ups

I was browsing through Kotaku and found this video that I thought was rather awesome. It's a fan-made fake trailer for a nonexistent live action Pokemon movie.

Given that our topic for Monday is Game Convergence, it seems a relevant topic that games have inspired fans to create trailers like this - the Pokemon trailer is hardly the first of its kind. I think it really goes to show how closely related games and movies are in the minds of fans.

Have you seen any of these types of fan trailers before? What do you think it says about games as a narrative medium? Are there any fan trailers you'd like to share that you think are particularly cool or well-made?
