Veronika Zemanova & the Zemanovaload Movie

Veronika Zemanova is a famous Internet icon with tremendous name recognition and a huge following -- at least amongst men. Photos of the model are ubiquitous on the net, even though she is no longer actively modeling. Ms. Zemanova's popularity has potential commercial value, if harnessed in a contructive way.

Jason Rothwell is attempting to cash in on Veronika Zemanova's fame by making her a centerpiece of his new film, Zemanovaload. It's about a man, his obsessions, and a woman.

The idea to use Ms. Zemanova's name and likeness to promote a small buget comedy film is quite clever. A ficitious model could've been used, but there wouldn't have been any potential buzz going that route. Is it ironic that an "old-media" movie is using a "new media" internet superstar for promotion?

The movie's plot sounds interesting. John Davies is an odd-ball. He writes gags. But his whole life is a joke. He has multiple Obsessive Compulsive Disorders. When his model girlfriend leaves him, he vows to exact revenge in the only way possible. He'll replace her with the best looking woman on the planet. A girl so unbelievable, you want to clap when she walks in the room. An internet search tells him that the world's most downloaded woman is Czech model Veronika Zemanova. The movie follows John's dysfunctional life as he tries to overcome his old obsessions in order to meet his latest obsession - Veronika.

Veronika Zemanova was born April 14, 1975 in the Czech Republic. At 18 her ambition was to make a living as a photographer until a robbery left her in debt and without a means of a livlihood. Out of neccesity, she turned to nude modeling. In addition to her modeling career, Ms. Zemanova recorded a single in 2002, a cover of the song "The Model."
