A short, nicely animated adaptation of The Unfinished Fable of the Sparrows from Bostrom's book was made recently.

The same animation studio also made this fairly accurate and entertaining introduction to (parts of) Bostrom's argument. Although I don't know what to think of their (subjective) probability for possible outcomes.
