Marketing

The film's teaser trailer premiered August 21, 2009 with the film Inglourious Basterds. Viral marketing began on December 15, 2009 when a top depicted on the official website stopped spinning. The poster was awarded as a prize after players won an online mini-game titled "Mind Crime".[19][20]

A second poster was found on December 21st, 2009, although it is speculated that the poster has been out since December 15th, 2009, no one officially found it until the 21st.[citation needed] The second poster was also rewarded to winners of the "Mind Crime" game.

The second trailer premiered December 25, 2009 with the film Sherlock Holmes, and is now available online in HD.[21]
