Interesting facts

Internet – O Filme is a Brazilian comedy film directed by Fillipo Capuzzi Lapietra, written by Rafinha Bastos, Dani Garutti and Mirna Nogueira, and starring several Brazilian YouTubers. Paris Filmes announced the release of the film on September 9, 2016, with trailers and posters. During the promotion, it was shown at Comic Con Experience. Internet – O Filme was released in theaters on February 23, 2017. Despite earning more than a million dollars and being one of the biggest box office hits in Brazil that year, the film received a negative reception from critics, especially about the plot and the acting.

Production

Internet - O Filme was directed by Fillipo Capuzzi Lapietra and produced by Sandi Adamiu, Márcio Fraccaroli and Rafinha Bastos. Renata Rezende was executive producer and Rafinha Bastos, Dani Garutti and Mirna Nogueira wrote the script. The concept of the movie involves portraying how the Internet has "changed the lives of the new generation".

Rafinha affirmed that the movie, financed entirely with his own money, is "much deeper than the title suggests". Since the beginning of the production, he pointed out that he didn't want to soften what was published on the Internet and that, if necessary, he could increase the rating.

The plot is divided into different stories that eventually intersect. According to Castanhari, one of Filippo's references would be Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, "a movie with a frenetic pace, with several conflicting stories". Rafinha said that his reference was Wild Tales, an Argentine production nominated in 2015 for the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

Regarding the cast, Rafinha commented that it wasn't possible to include Lucas Lira and Luba, who were interested in participating, but no longer fit in with the plot. It was possible to include others, such as Lucas Inutilismo, Nyvi Estephan and Willian Rodrigues, but Rafinha said that their participation was minimal. Kéfera Buchmann, who was confirmed for the movie, left the cast due to scheduling reasons.
