Free Superman Returns clip via iTunes Music Store

James Young wrote in to tell us about an exclusive premiere scene of 'Superman Returns' that is available on the iTunes Music Store. Now, I love a free clip as much as the next guy but that's not why James emailed us. He noticed that the clip is categorized as a 'Movie.'
Does this lend credence to the idea that movies are next up on the iTunes Music Store? Well, it is a stretch but odder things have happened.

Scott, please note in future articles if the things you link to are actually available to everyone in the rest of the world or just residents of the USA.

The film is just a rehash of the old Donner films with updated CGI and an arguably ineffectual cast and characterization. To say that the fans were clamouring for this is like claiming there's vast public interest in Ashley Simpson's further exploits as a singer.

Is it an encrypted MP4 video file? If not, maybe some could post it somewhere.
I'm sure it will be on YouTube and referenced from Digg anyway.
F this US-only BS, for a FREE preview of a movie. WTF???
