“Drillbit Taylor” hits theaters March 21, and I hope Owen Wilson is feeling good and back at his game. It must be tough to do movie press and have the constant “how are you doing?” questions after his suicide attempt a few months ago.
In the movie, he plays a low-budget bodyguard hired to protect three kids ( from the playground bully at school. Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen are producers/writers, so I’d be really surprised if it isn’t funny as heck.
The official site is up and running and has plenty of cool stuff and contests, including a High School Survival Guide, where Drillbit Taylor offers his Words of Wisdom.
More Drillbit – including pics – after the jump!
The Downloads section includes wallpapers, stickers, banners, and t-shirts, so you can show your friends you’re protected by Drillbit Taylor.
There’s a movie site on Facebook, and if you think you have what it takes to be a bodyguard, head over to MyYearbook to submit a video explaining why, and you could win a hometown screening of the film with the Kids from the movie.
If being a bodyguard isn’t your game, how about trying your hand at a rap about bullies, over at Bully Beat Down. While you’re rapping you can also join Drillbit on his “Rise Up Against the Bullies” blog and enter for a chance to win a personal bodyguard for a day at school. How cool would that be?!
