Commercials
NBC Holiday 2014 Promos
A series of 30-second ads made to air on various channels from November to December 2014. Filmed after Williams' death. Due to the scattered formats of these commercials, the Search is in the process of archiving all of them as one video.
On Set with Crystal the Monkey
A short made to promote Fox's Digital Download service, likely packed with DVD releases of SOTT, though this is yet to be confirmed. In it, Crystal the Monkey, Dexter's actor, is trailed for a day while on set filming. She shows off the service on TV and mobile devices as she goes throughout hair and makeup, greenroom relaxing, and on-set breaks, before leaving the set.
Nickelodeon Music Video
A short music video made to promote the film's release that aired on Nickelodeon. The song is performed by Benjamin Flores, Jr. This contains a clip of Attila dancing that did not get into the final cut.
Featurettes
Longer trailers meant to play before theatrical films. These may exist on some of the SOTT DVDs, but this is yet to be confirmed. If any of these featurettes are on the DVDs, they will be moved to the DVD Extras page.
Events
Regent Street Holiday Lights
Regent Street is a road in London, one of the first purpose-built shopping streets in the city. It's been the filming location of many a scene, and it's also a place known for film promos. With the premiere of NatM 3, the street was lit up with string lights and characters from the films walked around; available to take pictures with. The event included performances from Union J, Jersey Boys, Jack Pack, Jessie Ware, and Take That. The stage had the film's logo as the backdrop.[9]
