Even as his fans get all giddy about the impending release of “Nacho Libre” and, in a few months, the Tenacious D movie, Jack Black is preparing for his next picture.
Written by Michael Gondry (“The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”), the film – according to VH-1 – “will follow a junkyard worker (Black) who is convinced that a local power plant is gaining influence over his brain. When he attempts to sabotage the plant, the resulting magnetic field erases all the tapes in the video store where his best friend works. Afraid that the mishap will cost the friend his job, the two become determined to maintain the membership of a little old lady who is the store’s only loyal customer. Enlisting the help of anyone they can find, the group sets out to re-enact every movie that she decides to rent — including ‘Robocop,’ ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Back to the Future’ — filming each one themselves and passing it off to her as the original version.”
Please, Movie Gods, let this be even half as funny as it sounds…
