SEE HOLLYWOOD’S CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS LIKE NEVER BEFORE AS
THE OUTRAGEOUS COMEDY

BE KIND REWIND
ARRIVES ON DVD JUNE 10, 2008,
FROM NEW LINE HOME ENTERTAINMENT


“It’s inviting, undemanding and altogether wonderful.”
– A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES
LOS ANGELES, CA (April 14, 2008) – Join the cast and crew when the cameras roll as Jack Black (Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Nacho Libre) and Mos Def (16 Blocks, The Italian Job) are forced to re-create some of Hollywood’s greatest hits in Be Kind Rewind, arriving on DVD June 10, 2008, from New Line Home Entertainment. After Black inadvertently erases a video store’s entire VHS inventory, he has no choice but to get the whole neighborhood involved in an attempt to “re-shoot” modern classics such as Ghostbusters and Driving Miss Daisy. Co-stars Mia Farrow (The Omen, Husbands and Wives) and Danny Glover (Shooter, Dreamgirls) add to the laughs, as the DVD becomes available at a $27.95 SRP. The order due date is May 6, 2008.
Experience the antics of two outcasts, Jack Black (School of Rock) and Mos Def (The Italian Job), as they attempt to save the local video store in Be Kind Rewind, an outrageous and offbeat comedy from Academy Award®-winning writer/director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Amateur film director Mike (Def) must find a way to save the business after his magnetized friend, Jerry (Black), erases every movie in the store. Using an outdated video camera and their own special effects, the two embark on an adventure to remake all of the movies, from Ghostbusters to Driving Miss Daisy, turning the two town misfits into local celebrities.
