Rockstar has just released a trailer to the Original Short Film made from Red Dead Redemption, which airs this Saturday, the 29th of May, on FOX.

Also, be sure to check out Rockstar's latest Asked & Answered post, as it answers some questions about the issues some players are having with the game - this included connection problems, bugs, glitches and code redeeming issues. A question also answered was related to whether the Original Short Film was a prequel to the actual game, here's what Rockstar had to say about that:

“What exactly is this John Hillcoat short film of Red Dead? is it a prequel?” – received via Mouthoff

No. A Short Film Made From Red Dead Redemption is not a prequel – instead, director John Hillcoat was given free reign to use the world of Red Dead Redemption as his own personal film studio, manipulating characters, animals, sound and weather to create his own personal vision of the first chapter of Marston's story – his quest to capture Bill Williamson. By capturing gameplay footage and editing cutscenes, Hillcoat and editor Barry Alexander Brown were able to create a unique short film that deals with one specific slice of the game's story. (Confession - there are about two or three lines of dialogue we re-recorded for the piece, and a couple where we had to remove bad language. Otherwise it is 100% from the game.)

If you're in the US, check your local listings to find out when the Short Film will air for you. Those outside the States, we should have more information on how you guys will be able to watch it online soon.
