The sequel to Be Kind, Rewind would include a socialist revolution in New Jersey, followed by a brain tumor that causes a race war, according to director Michel Gondry. Gondry, who's already working on a film about a galactic dictator based on his own son, wanted to shoot the Be Kind sequel in one hour at Sundance, but showed up too late. Click through for Gondry's whole demented plot idea.
In the sequel, Mia Farrow and Danny Glover would pair off, and so would Alma (the cute dry-cleaning girl) and Mos Def. But poor demented Jack Black is left alone... until he finds a cute dog and becomes attached to it. And then everybody decides to mount a socialist revolution and take over the city hall of Passaic, NJ. They open a restaurant that gives away free food, they refuse to support the Iraq war, and they create more jobs for everyone.
Everything's fine for a while, until Danny Glover gets a brain tumor that turns him into a raving racist. He freaks out at Jack Black and drives him away, claiming that Polish people tricked African Americans into taking the lowest paid jobs. "It's terrible, frenzied, racism," says Gondry. Things get worse and worse, until a race war is starting. "Segregation is reinstalled."
Mos Def leads the African American community, and Jack Black leads the Polish community. (This is actually where my suspension of disbelief fails.) And Alma leads the Latino community. Everybody gets into a horrible fight.
But then the cute little dog dies, and somehow this convinces everybody to stop their race war. And then everybody realizes that Danny Glover just had a benign brain tumor, which made him turn racist. So everything goes back to normal.
It would definitely be the most demented Gondry film yet. I would probably pay $10 just to see Jack Black playing a zany manic white supremacist. But I might have a lot of elbow room in the theater. At the very least, it sounds more interesting than Cloverfield 2. [MTV Movies]

Oh, when will the wackiness end?
Hmph, you people just don't know art when you see it.
[/sarcasm]
as long as there are plenty of guns a la Hot Fuzz I'm in.
Who wants it to end? The world needs more silly men! Sincerity is overrated! Bring on the wackiness!
I'm just sad that the dog has to die.
Oh god, Glover better not become Uncle Ruckus.
@CMG:
The wackiness ended when this movie couldn't crack the five million mark.
I would have probably loved it. Shot in one hour? It would have been hilarious either way.
You know i heard that the idea for the sequel was actually stolen from a episode of Nickelodeon's show Round House.......ok sorry thats the last time i make that joke
Some kind of socialist revolution in New Jersey? Nuclear extortion? A girl named "John"?
Anything sounds more interesting than cloverfield 2.
I would watch this movie. No question whatever.
