Kirsten out in NYC

Kirsten Dunst will star with Jack Black in Be Kind Rewind for director Michel Gondry. The movie follows a junkyard worker (Black) who attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But his plan goes awry and the magnetic field he creates erases all of the videotapes in the local video store where his best friend works. Fearing that the mishap will cost his friend his job, the two team to keep the store's only loyal customer -- a little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality -- from realizing what has happened by re-creating and refilming every movie that she decides to rent. The project is scheduled to start shooting in late September. Dunst previously worked for Gondry in 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Her upcoming credits include Sofia Coppola's Marie-Antoinette and Spider-Man 3 with Tobey Maguire. [Empire]
