Trailer Bulletin: Dave Chapelle's Block Party

by | February 16, 2006 | Comments

All I need to hear are the phrases "Dave Chappelle" and "concert," and I already know we’re talking about a movie I want to see. Throw some names like Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and director Michel Gondry into the mix and you have an indie flick must-see from the fine folks at Rogue (Universal) Pictures. And here’s the trailer.

"Spotlights comedy superstar Dave Chappelle in all-new freestyle standup material, and also one-time-only performances by Kanye West, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, Jill Scott, and The Roots, among others. The unprecedented combination of comedy and music was shot on location, as Mr. Chappelle threw a party in downtown Brooklyn."

Directed by Michele Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the upcoming "The Science of Sleep"), "Dave Chappelle’s Block Party" opens on March 3rd.
