The new movie, ‘Be Kind, Rewind’ starring Jack Black and co-starring Mos Def, could be a product of plagiarism, according to Perez Hilton’s Web Site.
‘Be Kind, Rewind’ is a movie about two men who are forced to save the movie rental business after Jack Black’s character accidentally de-magnetizes all the movies. The movie focuses on the re-creation of many popular films from ‘Driving Ms. Daisy’ to ‘Ghostbusters’. Hilarious right? What could be better than seeing Jack Black in all the popular movies that we love? So if you wanted to rent the ‘Titanic’, you wouldn’t get Winslet or Dicaprio! Instead of finding a partially nude Winslet, you might find a partially nude Black… Not cute!
But there is one problem with this, is seems as though the idea for the movie derived from a Nickelodeon’s children’s comedy sitcom, ‘The Amanda Show’, starring Amanda Bynes. What the hell?! Amanda’s character’s family owns a video store and creates their own versions of movies (like the episode where they re-created ‘The Wizard of Oz’). AND THEIR ITALIAN! Funny right? Italian clerks at a video store dealing with disgruntled moviegoers, a recipe for disaster and laughs!
Anyway, the point is this. Jack Black is hilarious! I’m sure that it will be funny, but the makers of the film could suffer some legal battles. And once people gain knowledge about this, it will only create a buzz and make them want to see the film some more. I mean hell, its Jack Black!
The movie is set to release today, February 22. This might just be a good profit for these copy-catters…
