To celebrate the release of Be Kind Rewind, Pathe is inviting film fans across the UK to remake their favourite films for a chance to win a trip to Hollywood, the home of moviemaking.
In Be Kind Rewind Jerry (Jack Black) becomes magnetized while trying to sabotage the power plant that he believes is melting his brain and accidentally erases all the tapes in the old-fashioned video store where his best friend Mike (Mos Def) works. To keep the few customers happy, Jerry and Mike decide to remake one of the erased movies in Jerry’s junkyard. To their astonishment, their unique version of the movie is a hit. Mike, Jerry, and soon, friends from the neighbourhood are in full-time production, re-making movies, from Ghostbusters to King Kong, and in the end revitalize not only the business, but the entire community

Your homemade remake can be a shortened version of any film, just the trailer, or just a scene, but must be under 2 minutes in length. The best films submitted will be judged by special celebrity judge, who will select the winner based creativity and humour.
As well as a trip to Hollywood, Pathe has also lined up a great selection of prizes- a range of goodies from LG, including their 5.1 Home Cinema System; HDD/DVD Recorder, Plasma screens and Viewty camera phones. Also on offer, courtesy of Skillset, is a career advice session with an experienced film professional – perfect for any budding film-makers wanting to kick-start their career.
