Several DX sites are reporting the availability of several new movies. The ultimate source I can find seems to be this (
http://www.ionstorm.com/forum/viewthread.asp?forum=AMB_AP619612110&id=20675) thread on the Ion Storm forum by Tnatrix which links to four new movies. They apparently originate from GameSpot, but mirrors are available. It's unclear whether these are actually new, or simply newly available, but apparently most people haven't seen them yet.
There are two gameplay movies, and interview with Warren Spector, and an interview about the Deus Ex Movie (as in Motion Picture) I haven't checked them out yet myself, but they should be worth a look.
Check it out.

They were reporting problems with the Warren Spector interview. Anyone else having this problem so I dont bother wasting time downloading 126mb
Edit:
The first movie is old footage from months ago, if you have all the movies up till now, there is nothing new here. Still downloading the 50mb file

Yeah the 50mb file is new, looks to me like it is still an old film (probably done months ago). It is a collection of 5 1 minute files that really show off the physics and lighting. Looks way cool and the HUD I think is good, but the NPC's arent working yet. Still it gives an idea of what DX:IW will look and play like.

Indeed, it appears that the largest video (The interview with WS) is corrupt. Perhaps an intact version will be made available. Sorry about that.
The other videos are worth a look. The 50mb collection is interesting. The first thing you realise is that the game is definitely not complete, a lot of things haven't been implemented yet. That's why you don't really see NPC interaction or combat. It's mostly showing off the physics system, actually. But the graphics look very good. I also loved the ambient music.
The interview with Greg Pruss (Deus Ex Movie Scriptwriter) is also interesting. It's heartening to know that his primary concern is (he claims) to preserve Warren Spector's vision. Hopefully this means that the DX movie won't be an example of different-media franchise (game/book/comic) movie conversion being butchered by screenwriters and totally rewritten to make it "cinematic"

Seems that the 50mb movie was old. According to Gamespot
(
