Kirsten Dunst is in negotiations to join Jack Black in Michel Gondry's "Be Kind Rewind." The move would reunite her with Gon-dry, who di-rected her in 2004's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

The story, by Gondry, 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.

Georges Bermann, Gondry's partner in Partizan Prods., is producing. Shooting is scheduled for late September.

Guy Stodel and Toby Emmerich will oversee for New Line Cinema, which is releasing the movie domestically.

Dunst is shooting "Spider-Man 3" and will fly to France next week for the premiere of "Marie-Antoinette," which opens in the U.S. in October. She is repped by WMA and Management 360.
