That\u2019s how I found out about it. Created by Nicolas Neubert, a senior product designer who works for Elli by Volkswagen in Germany, the \u201cGenesis\u201d trailer promotes a dystopian sci-fi epic reminiscent of the <em>Terminator<\/em>. There is no movie, of course, only the trailer exists, but this is neither a gag nor a parody. It\u2019s in a class of its own.
