Showtime registers “early cut” domain names and redirects them to “dark echo” episode. Hint at a Dexter movie ?

At first when i saw the registrations for dexterearlycuts.com and earlycuts.com i thought they where just defensive registrations. Dexters early cuts is a cartoon/web episode spinoff  for the Dexter TV series. So yeah that’s why i figured they where defensive

A few things make me wonder about these 2 two registrations.

• Why register them just now ?
• Why are these domains pointing to a web episode called Dark Echo.

Dexter Dark Echo :

The story opens immediately after his father Harry’s death, with Dexter in his early twenties and his sister Debra is still in high school. Dexter is enrolled in medical school where he’s studying anatomy to improve his “craft.” During a routine kill, Dexter realizes that another student has been spying on him and knows that he is a serial killer. He confronts the student after he begins to commit murders in Dexter’s style and the two clash over the ethics of their situations. Dexter’s faceoff with his ‘Dark Echo’ represents the first time his code is tested since his father’s death, and the incident helps reinforce the importance of Harry Morgan’s code.

Sounds to me the perfect background story for a Dexter movie. Will it happen ? Who knows, nothing has been announced yet
