JackThe Boat That Rocked
February 13th 2009 07:26
The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music.
It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.
Leading the cast are Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Charlie Wilson's War", "The Savages") as The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Bill Nighy ("Love Actually", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End") as Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock -- a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Rhys Ifans ("Notting Hill", "Elizabeth: The Golden Age") as Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Nick Frost ("Hot Fuzz", "Shaun of the Dead") as Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and Kenneth Branagh ("Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Hamlet") as British Minister Dormandy, a fearsome government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.
The Boat That Rocked will be released in the UK on April 3rd, 2009 and Australia on April 9th.
