We've mentioned it before back in November as a project in the works to keep your eye on - Be Kind Rewind - the next film from writer/director Michel Gondry, who is known best for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, and The Science of Sleep. The film stars two comedic greats: Jack Black and Mos Def, is about a video store clerk who accidentally erases all the VHS tapes in the store and must remake them on his own. Below you'll find the first photo from the movie, and although it isn't much, it does get me a bit excited for what will certainly be one of the most unique comedies to look forward to in 2008.

The photo comes courtesy of the niche movie website Twitch. I don't know what they're doing wrapped up in tin foil, but I will bet it's going to be a great scene.

I love Mos Def (mostly from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), I love Jack Black (in everything), and I love Michel Gondry - this couldn't be a more exciting ensemble involved in a film together! An early report states that the film will hit theaters in early April of 2008, but this could possibly change. Keep watch, as we'll definitely be bringing you plenty of updates on this as we lead to its release.
