A Sweded film is a low-budget remake of a well-known film where each scene is only shot once with minimal editing involved. Sweded films evolved from the film Be Kind Rewind, featuring Jack Black where the owners of a video rental store erased all of the video tapes and had to remake all of the films to give to their customers. As an excuse for higher rental fees and longer waiting times they had to say that the films were being shipped over from Sweden which is where the term "sweded" came from.
One of my favourite Sweded films is this remake of Inception because I think it was really well done yet still had comedic value. Their take on the special effects of the film were really creative and entertaining and I enjoyed watching it very much.
There are lots of good films that would be great to remake but our group decided almost immediately that we wanted to do a Swede of The Dark Knight. However, we found out that on YouTube there are already a few Sweded copies of this film so we are considering doing a Swede of The Dark Knight Rises, as this is a more recent film it is very recognisable and is widely popular, especially among people our age - who are our target audience.
