Variety is reporting that Mos Def, Melonie Diaz and Mia Farrow have joined the cast of Michel Gondry’s comedy Be Kind Rewind, which already stars Jack Black, Danny Glover and Kirsten Dunst.
On top of directing, Gondry also penned the script, which features Black as a goofball who becomes magnetized trying to sabotage a power plant and then erases all the tapes in the videostore while visiting a pal (Mos Def) who works there and his co-worker (Diaz). The friends then re-create and refilm every movie that the store’s only loyal customer decides to rent.
Shooting is set to begin on September 5 in Passaic, NJ.
