New Jack Black Film 'Destroys' the Internet

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Nov 28th 2007 at 5:45PM

The upcoming Michel Gondry-directed Jack Black vehicle 'Be Kind Rewind' is set to hit theaters on January 25th, which means it's promotion time. In the film, Mos Def and Jack Black are forced to re-film or 'swede' a pile of films after a magnetized Jack Black accidentally erases every video in the rental shop.

So in keeping with the film's premise, the web site for the motion picture erases the Internet. Then, in a rather cutesy fashion, the site presents you with several 'sweded' versions of popular web pages to use, including Google, Wikipedia, a social networking site called MyFace, and Flickr, among others.

Check out the site for some interesting web fun. Even if it all just amounts to an interactive advertisement, at least the movie looks cool.

Jack Black is about as funny as a taint boil.
