Future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and NYC icons the Beastie Boys have had a turbulent couple of years, between Adam Yauch's health troubles and the indefinite delay of their album Hot Sauce Committee (which is now Hot Sauce Committee part 2). But some pretty cool news: Adam Yauch is writing and directing a short film about the making of the Beastie Boys’ classic party anthem, “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!).” It’s called Fight For Your Right Revisited, it’ll premiere at Sundance’s Short Film Festival, and it features a who's-who of modern comedy actors.
From the picture above, it seems that Seth Rogen will play Mike D, Elijah Wood will play Ad-Rock, and Danny McBride will play MCA. The movie will also feature appearances by Will Ferrell, John C Reilly and Jack Black. So until then, don't get into any trouble while Mommy and Daddy are gone, and don't make a mess!
