I was working on Shiny Universe and looking for some stuff to test embeded video and by chance came across Joss Whedon in The Book of Lies trailer. Anyone knows what this is about?

Well, he's worked with the author Brad Meltzer on the Buffy comics:

But more worryingly, what's up with Joss's earing?

I'm trying to figure out why Christopher Hitchens participated in this.

that is an interesting clip - and Whedon sells it well...

so, my answer would be that this is simply an effort to make money with this film.... it's all about the promotion - there are no real truths here....

It's not a film, it's a book.

I'm still trying to decide whether or not this is about a fiction or non-fiction work. That, and what it has to do with Jerry Siegel.

Yeah, he annoys me about his atheism as much as those fire-and-brimstone Bible-thumpers.

I can say the same thing about Joss, but that's a whole other thread and can of worms.

Just to be clear, this is a video designed to promote the following book:

It's another fictional novel following in the trail of The Da Vinci Code, with bits of historical trivia thrown in.
