Michel Gondry brings about Return of the Ice Kings :: Film & TV News :: Articles

Although his latest film hasn't been released yet and he already has several projects in the works, Michel Gondry told the MTV Movies Blog that he's currently writing The Return of the Ice Kings. Gondry's still at work on the screenplay, but the name alone sounds fascinating, and the content, well:

"I’m writing a story about kids who invent a water that makes you hear music when you drink it," Gondry said. "It’s going to be a scientific story, but completely unrealistic." Sounds more whimsical than scientific, but Gondry would probably be the expert on these matters, as he spent last year as MIT's artist in residence and has come up with some fantastic technologies before (IE: bullet time).

It'll probably be a while before Gondry gets around to the film, but Be Kind Rewind will be out on Feb. 22. Meanwhile, another dose of Gondry is on the way via his triptych short for the film Tôkyô!, currently in post-production and probably heading to festivals later this year.
