'The Rocker' Lands a New, Slightly Less Unsettling Poster
Friday, June 20, 2008 at 2:38PM
I'm kind of glad we have a new poster for
The Rocker to show you. The first one was
almost creepy. It had that familiar Olan Mills
portrait studio look, and kid with
Rainn Wilson's rather toady facial features. I
suspect a little Photoshop, but it's still off-putting.
The new poster tells us a little more of the movie's story:
Wilson plays a one-time hair metal band drummer who watched that spandex well
dry up years and years ago. Now he sees his chance to hit it big again...by
joining a local high school band.

Sure, it's Rainn Wilson in his underwear, and we're not
exactly doing backflips over that, but it's still better than the creepy kid
scenario. Let me ask you: Anybody else notice a Lars Ulrich resemblance? Maybe
it's just me.
The Rocker arrives, fully dressed, in August.
