In Keith's interview with Michel Gondry, the director said that he wrote the script for Be Kind Rewind alone, without collaborators. Well, that may not exactly be true. Thanks to an informative investigative piece recently uploaded to YouTube, new details have emerged about Gondry's writing process for the movie. Yes, he technically wrote it alone–save for the long shadow of his young, vibrant muse: Amanda Bynes. After watching the following video I now picture Gondry feverishly typing the Be Kind Rewind screenplay in a Nickelodeon-induced delirium, the complete Amanda, Please! DVDs scattered at his feet, pausing only to wipe his brow with a promotional She's The Man t-shirt.
