Rogue Pictures Feels Like Throwing a "Block Party"
Rogue Pictures snatched up the distribution rights to Michel Gondry's "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," it was announced today by Rogue Pictures president David Linde.
Featuring performances by Dave Chappelle as well as Kanye West, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, Jill Scott and The Roots, "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" is all about an actual block party comedian Chappelle threw in downtown Brooklyn.
Academy Award winner Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") and cinematographer Ellen Kuras filmed the event.
Rogue Pictures president Linde said about the acquisition, "'Dave Chappelle's Block Party' will offer moviegoers front-row seats at an amazing and unique experience. These performers are a thrill to see and hear. We're delighted to be working with Michel again and of course, Dave Chappelle; they are both true visionaries. Rogue is actively seeking comedic material as part of our increased slate, so what better way to start than with Dave?"
