If you thought ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ wasn’t bad enough, then prepare yourself for ‘The Chronicles of Rick Roll,’](http://thedailywh.at/2011/03/07/movie-trailer-of-the-day-9) executive producer Andrew Fischer’s new movie that pieces together a seemingly endless number of Internet memes into one surprisingly coherent story.
The story itself is simple: Rick Rolland (Fischer) meets a beautiful girl online, only to watch her get sucked into the treacherous Internet portals. In order to save her, Rick must travel inside the Internet himself, where he meets a number of Internet-made celebrities, from Bed Intruder Antoine Dodson to Double Rainbow’s Paul Vasquez. It’s sort of like ‘TRON’](Tron (1982) - Movie | Moviefone) meets meets ‘Alice in Wonderland’](Alice in Wonderland (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) meets ‘Lord of the Rings’](The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - Movie | Moviefone) meets every other major blockbuster from the last five-to-10 years.
But before you go calling ‘Rick Roll’ the next ‘Date Movie,’](Date Movie (2006) - Movie | Moviefone) check out the trailer (after the jump), because, for all of its hyper-meta references, and as much as this author hates to admit it, it’s actually kind of funny. There are a number of clever cameos (among them “Boom goes the dynamite!”'s Brian Collins) and Fischer seems to be self-aware enough to know that what he’s doing is ultimately silly. Best of all, not once did it play that awful Rick Astley song.
