Four New Faces Join Jack Black's "Rewind"
![]()
One percolating project that's really caught my eye is called "Be Kind Rewind," not just because it stars the generally amusing Jack Black, but also because it's being directed by Michel Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine"). And if the star, the director, and the concept weren't interesting enough, the flick is now cobbling together a solid supporting cast.

![]()
The last one was just a moody little teaser piece, but this all-new trailer for John Moore's "The Omen" looks ... well, it looks pretty darn familiar -- perhaps because I've seen the original flick about five times and, so far, the remake looks like a shot-by-shot revisit. We shall see. I dig the cast, anyway.
