Ryan Reynolds ‘leaks’ Detective Pikachu movie in amazing troll move

Are you ready for 100 minutes of Pikachu dancing?

In a remarkable move for a successful Hollywood superstar, Ryan Reynolds has 'leaked' the entirety of his new movie Detective Pikachu to the internet, a week before release. https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1125886792627118080 On Tuesday, Reynolds tweeted a link from a mysterious account called 'InspectrPikachu', to both the official movie account and Warner Bros. The account only had one tweet, and linked to a YouTube video that appeared to be an HD upload of the entire film, which is not due in cinemas until May 10th. Take a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAA_yWX8ycQ How far did you get? Yes, after about a minute, it cuts to 100 minutes of Pikachu dancing to 1980s-style synth pop. That is all it is, and it is amazing. https://twitter.com/HMSWRTH/status/1125940429411590145 Let's be honest, this is even better than we could have hoped. It is wonderful. It is hypnotic. It is beguiling. It even has a faux-VHS filter on it. Warner Bros. marketing may have even shot themselves in the foot here. Is there any way the actual film can live up to an hour and a half of Pikachu dancing? The long-awaited live action Pokemon film hits cinemas next week. Ryan Reynolds is the voice of Pikachu, which only star Justice Smith can understand - everyone else can only hear the normal Pokemon sound of them just repeating their name over and over again. Pikachu - who is now a supersmart detective for some reason - helps Smith's character track down his missing private eye father. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bILE5BEyhdo
