The cast of Jack Black and Michel Gondry’s new comedy Be Kind Rewind has grown by four.
Mos Def, Lords Of Dogtown’s Melonie Diaz, Danny Glover and no lesser thesp than Mia Farrow have all agreed to join the comedy about a weirdo (Black, naturally) who becomes magnetized while trying to sabotage a power station. A trip to the local video store to visit his pal (Def) leads to all the tapes being wiped. Desperate to help him keep his job, Black helps to recreate all the videos the store’s only loyal customer wants to rent with the help of Def’s co-worker (Diaz).
New Line is behind the film and shooting starts next month in New Jersey, followed by a month of re-shoots after Black knocks all the film into a radioactive canal and the cast are forced to re-create it from scratch.
Don't laugh. It could happen.
