I finally found a trailer of Michel Gondry’s next film, Be Kind Rewind! It stars Jack Black and Mos Def and looks absolutely amazing. I love Gondry’s very hands-on style of directing and how he is able to give us what I’m sure is just a glimpse into his vivid imagination. I can’t wait to see how his two leads re-enact these classic (or not-so-classic) films of the past twenty-five years or so (including Ghostbusters, Rush Hour 2 and Driving Miss Daisy). It seems as if one of Gondry’s goals is to show us that the wonders of filmmaking can be experienced by the average person (whether Jack Black and Mos Def count as “average”, I don’t know…).

I’ve never even heard of this movie and it opens in a couple of weeks (August 17). It looks like this could be an awesome teen comedy… and with all of the episodes of Arrested Development that I’ve been re-watching recently, it’s nice to see Michael Cera again!

Here’s a hilarious R-rated clip - catch it while it’s still up! (Mom, you might not want to click on it.)

Thanks to /film for the link.
