I'm having the same bug on my end. It also occurs if you attempt to start Dustin's movie instead of talking to Penny, and if you attempt to view a movie or story from the gallery using the unlock code. Fade-to-black, then hang.
Yeah so I'm pretty sure the issue is with my/your machine. I ran it on a laptop and it worked fine. Could be a graphics driver thing, but I don't think so since I just updated them. Maybe a compatibility issue, but I did try playing around with those settings, so I'm just not sure.
