We last asked, would Mos Def show up for the “Be Kind Rewind” concert that happened during the Sundance Film Festival? Nobody really reported it (that we saw), but it happened and Mos was there. ‘Rewind’ opens this weekend and the soundtrack which features Mos Def and score composer Jean-Michel Bernard and also includes songs by JackBlack, Billy Preston (the same song was used in the trailer), Booker T, and musical contributions from Michel Gondry on drums is already in stores.
Next up for Gondry, or at least the next film we’ll see is his “Tôkyô!” vignette “Interior Design” about a woman who turns into a chair. But wait, has the title of the short changed? Details and photos of “Tôkyô!” have emerged and it appears that the short’s name has been changed to, “Hiroko & Akira in Tokyo.” According to FirstShowing.net, the film does not have distribution yet, but its expectedto premiere at film festivals like the Toronto Film Fest later this year.
