A fake viral trailer promised James Bond fans to reveal the title of the upcoming movie starring the British spy which is currently in production but is being kept under utter secrecy, thanks to director Sam Mendes.

The video has been taken off YouTube where is was originally posted after it was exposed as fake, but it managed to get people talking when it revealed that the title for the next Bond movie was “Come and Dive.”

Even big sites, such as TheWrap, initially fell for the trick, proving that a talented prankster can fool the entire media, which isn't something you'd want in a world when you don't know what to believe anymore.

Only 32seconds long, the video featured the logos of MGM and Columbia Pictures, but it got people wondering about its authenticity when it failed to feature the new Sony logo. That got some wondering just how real it was, not to mention the fact that it wasn't featured on Sony' Twitter account, nor was it announced on their website.

The video was later taken down by a copyright claim by Sony Pictures Entertainment, with later official confirmation from a representative for the studio that the creation was indeed a fake.
