#ThankYouKarellen For This Awesome ‘Childhood’s End’ Trailer!

Briefly: Well this looks awesome.

Back at San Diego Comic-Con, Shane and I were treated to lunch by a creepy, semi-pushy religious woman who said that our meal would be taken care of, and all that we needed to do was thank our new saviour Karellen.

We were confused as hell, and it wasn’t until we saw dozens of these ‘followers’ walking the streets (and anti-Karellen protesters on the other side of it) that we realized it was an incredible guerrilla marketing campaign for something.

Turns out that something was Syfy’s upcoming miniseries, Childhood’s End, based on the novel by Arthur C. Clarke.

Childhood’s End follows the peaceful invasion of Earth by the alien Overlords, who promise to eliminate poverty, war and sickness – ushering in a golden age of peace, health and security for all of humankind. But why do the Overlords insist on hiding their appearance – and what do they ultimately want from Earth? While much of the world enjoys its newfound utopia, some suspect there’s a price to pay. As the truth about the Overlords’ intentions are revealed, humanity will discover its actual destiny may actually be a nightmare, instead of a dream.

Childhood’s End will run on Syfy from December 14th – 16th, and it looks freaking awesome. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be checking it out!
