'Disconnect' Movie: First Clip Features Scary Marc Jacobs Performance (VIDEO)

Famed Fashion Designer Goes Bad For New Film

The new drama "Disconnect" focuses on three interwoven stories about the dangers of what happens when people eschew human interactions for digital ones. (Nod if you're reading this on a mobile device right now.)

"Disconnect," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2012, features an all-star cast, including Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgard, Hope Davis, Andrea Riseborough, Norbert Leo Butz and even famed fashion designer Marc Jacobs as a sleazy "porn baron" who ropes unsuspecting youngsters into his den of web pornography. "Disconnect" marks Jacobs' acting debut.

"I found 'Disconnect' incredibly compelling -- a perfect use of storytelling to vividly dramatize an issue that permeates our lives to such an extent that it's hard to even see," Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, wrote in a recent post. The film, she added, "shows how easy it is to allow technology to lure us into a somnambulist life, gradually being pulled away from a sense of who we are and what really matters."

"Disconnect" opens on April 12, but interested viewers can get a first look at the film -- and Jacobs' scary performance -- in the exclusive and NSFW clip above. For more on "Disconnect," click over to Arianna's blog.
