According to one recounting, the trailers parodied typical Hollywood release hype.[2] The first two shorts, First in Line and Still First in Line, are reportedly clips of a male fan of the upcoming film waiting in line. [3] The consensus online holds that these shorts weren't clips from the film; rather, they focused on advertising the premiere date.

On March 18th, 2020, the first advert was discovered on a promotional CD-ROM that was distributed in the UK. It has since been uploaded to YouTube.

On July 10, 2021, the Quicktime 1500kbps files were discovered and uploaded to Archive.org.
