http://www.businessinsider.com/viral-video-stars-movie-the-chronicles-of-rick-roll-2011-2Some one finally decided to go whole hog and not just steal ideas for their ads from the internet, but turn it into one giant SNL cash-in movie. Someday we'll look back on the days when the only time the internet turned up in real life was when your boss tried to be funny by saying "Your The Man Now Dog" even though it was three years after that was even relevant, or that time Rick Astley sang during the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. We'll look back on those times like Adam looked back on the gates to Paradise.
He's been planning this film for over six months now, and he's aiming for a theatrical release.
Nice to know he's really put a lot of time into this movie, sounds like a real labor of love. I was worried it would be a pathetic cash grab that would almost definitely fall flat, but nope. Sounds like this guy is really devoted to his...
"Instead of going to Hollywood for expensive A-list actors, why not sign people on with a name who command an audience?" Fischer told us.
Does he not get the traditional internet life-cycle. These people "commanded an audience"? People laughed at them, called them idiots, then patronizingly declared them awesome, then got tired of them, and now either don't care, or actively don't want to hear the "Hide Your Husband" crap. Uh, god.
"A lot of people will be very surprised by the plot," said Fischer.
No, they won't, because you work for a marketing company called NURV and NURV stands for Never Underestimate Radical Vision. If you were in the sixties, you'd be making a movie about flower-children and Astronauts bringing a Jimi Hendrix alien back from the moon, and your company would be called something like Let's Fly! Aeronautics And Design.
That being said. I want to see this movie. I know it's incredibly idiotic of me to waste my time with a horrible, advantageous movie, but I love a horrible advantageous movie. Bad Mad Max knockoffs, Star Wars ripoffs from any other country. This could be the next wave of the popular Dashploitation genre. With its rich history of Black, Mex, Sex and Drug sub-genres, I'm sure "Internet" will find it's place, so that in thirty years crappy film school students can look back and say "You know, I think that 'The Chronicles Of Rick Roll' really is talking about what man must do to find a place in the then burgeoning information age. It really is a triumph, up there with Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and Wheels Of Fire"
