It is a cliché that the book is always better than the movie, because it they usually are. Here we are presented with a way to coax those who traditionally do not read away from the screen and into the magical printed world.
Book trailers such as this could be created by students as final unit projects, as hinted at by Shade Gomez. It would help students link their deep understanding of a text with technologies that they know or perhaps have mastered. This would be exciting for students to present a text to their teacher in a light they may never have considered. While also giving students that opportunity to show what they would important in a text and why.
I could feel the buzz of the production crew while reading this article and there desire to read the book. With the ever-expanding digital world, I find it comforting to see that traditional printed works are not being abandoned but …referenced/directed(if those are the write words) eluded to via the internet.

Yes, there's lots of fun here in book "trailer" assignments. I would rather see students make videos on topics of urgent importance to them.
To me his assignment seems a little too much like making a poster of the book. Yuck!! But I also see its value.
There's room for different video expressions as you point out and as you see Shade doing very effectively.
I like the way you said that traditional texts are not being abandoned, but redirected. It is a great way to look at the changes being made using technology in the classroom and in the world...and it makes both sides of the debate happy to see that we CAN integrate technology and traditional texts!
