Dan Clowes writing the Gondrys' animated film
We told you back in October that Michel Gondry was working on an animated feature with his son, but some additional details about the film have started to leak out. Gondry spoke with Slashfilm about the project, saying, "It’s based on [Gondry’s son Paul’s] universe. He’s a sixteen year old. He’s very unique, very funny and very violent in his drawing and his art, showing everything that you could think of that I should have stopped him from coming in contact with, but I failed.

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... read more

Michel Gondry, one of the lights of the music video world but probably best-known for his feature Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, looks to be moving into unfamiliar territory. Well, kind of. He told the MTV Movies Blog, "I am working on an animated film with my son. It's going to be quite amazing." Stop-motion has long been a tool used by Gondry, but this will be the first time he's done an entire film that way.

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...).
