Marc Jacobs is stepping off the runway and onto the red carpet. According to Refinery29, the fashion designer will be appearing in “Disconnect,” a new thriller starring Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgard, Paula Patton, and Max Theriot. The movie focuses on the dark-side of social media and online chat-rooms, with several story lines that intersect for a big wow finish.

Jacobs’ full face appears in the last shot of the trailer, when he ominously tells an off-screen character, “Trust me, no one else.”

Talk about dramatic effect.

“Disconnect” hits theaters April 12. Check out the trailer below:

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
