Jenna Fischer missing, kidnapped!
By fred | August 12, 2008
It’s nothing new to see people using the Internet, blogs, YouTube, all kinds of things to promote a new movie or a TV show. Viral marketing is a very strong and widely used technique nowadays, but sometimes it always happen, things get pushed just one bit too far.
The latest example of such of a thing happened very recently, when The Office star Rainn Wilson went crazy and kidnapped the adorable Jenna Fischer to ensure that everyone would go and see his new movie…
From Jenna’s MySpace :
A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JENNA’S “FRIEND”, RAINN WILSON
Hey there Jenna’s MySpacers!
My name is Rainn Wilson and I’ve kidnapped the lovely Jenna, put her, bound, in the trunk of my firebird and logged onto her MySpace to send out this bulletin.
To free America’s sweetheart, Pam Beesly, one half of the magic which is ‘Jam’, you must attend my new movie, ‘The Rocker’, which opens August 20th.
As soon as the film grosses 18.7 Mil, she will be released and given a peach smoothie.
I’ve also recently discovered that August 20th is truly a special and historic day. Estonia achieved it’s independence! Sting got married to Trudy Skyler! What better way to celebrate the magic of Sting and Estonia than by seeing what is perhaps the greatest film ever made (about a heavy metal drummer).
Many of you have perhaps seen posters of me in my leopard briefs, or the trailers in which my balls get racked by a power strip. And, although the film WILL be adored by legions of teen-aged male Dwight fans, it will also be loved by the whole GD family, including Amish cousins.
It truly is a fun and lovely coming-of-age, rock n’roll comedy and good reviews are coming in, including two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper and also from my son, Walter (who has three of them).
Also, if you’re a fan of:
Will Arnett, Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Jane Lynch, Emma Stone, Jeff Garlin, Demitri Martin, Fred Armisen, Bradley Cooper, Pope Benedick III, WINGS (the show and/or the back-up band), coral reefs, soup, Former Mayor Ed Koch, the guy who played Norm on Cheers, baby Suri, dairy, Coldplay, Animal Planet or the letter “Q”…
YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!
So… Please spend your 10.50$ American on THE ROCKER, get yourself a popcorn and a Mountain Dew, bring 1800 of your closest friends so that 1) Jenna gets a smoothie and 2) They let me be in another movie someday.
That is all.
Rainn Dietrich Wilson
I guess we all know what we have to do now. Not that it’s a terrible thing, because the movie actually looks good… So make sure that you go see it, especially if you love Jenna, or Jam, or love, or rock’n'roll!
