First impression was that you were right, but looking into it further its a genuine movie promotion - doesn't mean its not got a ARG attached though.
Must say, for a commercial output, the fact the book advertised changes its name randomly from 'Prophet without a God' to 'Profit without a God' seems a bit peculiar.

Has fun bits to it to explore if you're into that.

Yeah it's definitely a real movie, I figured there was some type of promotional game going along with it, not sure though. There's quite a lot of background info on the characters etc, but I'm not sure if this is just supposed to be quirky fun or if there's something ARGish going on.

yeah, the reviewers are obviously fictional. What weirdness? I don't know much about source code etc.

Check out the Poster and who it says is the writer and director.

Hmmmm.....

Is it just me or does this NOT seem like a movie that Jon Voight would actually do? It looks like a "straight to video" production.

Also, if you CTRL+A the home page, you will see the following letters light up: dsf, dsf, sdf (seen in the source code as:

I emailed the apparent designer of the site, Jeff Powers, his website is here:

Most of the stuff on it seems to be related to Simon Conjurer. I just said I was looking forward to the film and asked what was up with the source code. Still waiting for a reply.

If you go to the movie's imdb page, there is quite a lot of talk about this film:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0758763/board/threads/

Many of the people seem to be shilling for the movie, and they're being called on it, but the people calling them shills also have no other posts on imdb, so they might also be part of the media campaign? Apparently there was some sort of dustup/strike during the production etc. It's supposedly directed by a "Stuart Paul," but I can't find anything out about him.

The more and more I read, the more this seems like it has some sort of ARG element.

Apparently the movie is being distiributed by Crystal Sky Worldwide - they're a real company and it looks like they've put out some really terrible films. They make no mention of Simon Conjurer on their website, though.

Here's a Stuart Paul on imdb. On the Crystal Sky executive bio page, it actually mentions that Stuart Paul is Steven Paul's brother:
