No need to Be Kind, Rewind this trailer

No need to <em>Be Kind, Rewind</em> this trailer

The theatrical trailer for Be Kind, Rewind is out! Watch it below:

The film is by Michel Gondry, best known for directing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the criminally underrated The Science of Sleep, numerous music videos and for being one half of what I like to call Team Awesome (oh Spike Jonze, how I miss you...). Yes, I seriously call them that, so what? It stars Jack Black and Mos Def as two video store clerks who accidentally erase their store's collection and decide to recreate its tapes on their own, taking Gondry's lo-fi approach to mise-en-scene to its logical extreme.

I, for one, have been waiting nearly two years to see how Gondry would direct Robocop if given a budget of what he could find around the house one afternoon. Based on the trailer, it looks well worth the wait (December 21).
