Scenes from Anna Nicole's last movie released
A minute-long teaser trailer of the film "Illegal Aliens" has been in wide circulation since Smith's death last month.
But, now, the film's producer has released two full scenes from the camp sci-comedy, as well as about six minutes of behind-the-scenes footage showing Smith at work.

Smith helped bankroll the film, in which she plays one of a trio of space aliens fighting an intergalactic terrorist.
Several theatrical screenings were cancelled after Smith's death.
MTI Home Video says it will go ahead with its original plans for the video release.
"Prior to her unfortunate death, the film was already announced and being sold to key retail accounts and a May 2007 release was slated," MTI spokesman Ed Baran said.
The 39-year-old Smith was to have been involved in a publicity campaign and the movie was to have been dedicated to her 20-year-old son, Daniel, who died in the Bahamas in September.
Smith was a producer and her son was credited as an associate producer.
"We were working with her and her people on PR literally a week before she died," Baran told the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie, produced by Edgewood Studios, isn't just another "low-budget sci-fi comedy poking fun at Hollywood's big-budget flicks," executive producer John James said.
Smith helped creatively and added "numerous elements andre writes of her character," he said. "Now with the passing of its star, you'll find it to be replete with metaphors of her life."
