Opening next weekend is director Neil LaBute's Death at a Funeral, which stars Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Zoë Saldaña, Columbus Short, Luke Wilson, Peter Dinklage, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, and Keith David.

The movie is a remake of the 2007 British film with the same name, and the project was led by Chris Rock, who explained why he wanted to remake the movie when I spoke to him yesterday.  He also talked about the challenges of getting the cast together and he also told me about his next documentary Credit is the Devil - which he is starting to prep right now.  Hit the jump to see what he had to say:
