New Featurettes for 'The Boat That Rocked'

DateSunday, March 8, 2009 at 4:14PM
Richard Curtis has quietly become one of the more reliable comedy writers of this generation. He wrote for some seminal British comedy series - Not the Nine O'Clock News, The Black Adder, and Bean - as well as the films Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Love, Actually, which he also directed. His new film is The Boat That Rocked, a comedy about a 1960s pirate radio station that shattered the traditional model of BBC radio.

As you might expect, Curtis attracts another great cast here: Kenneth Branagh, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, and Bill Nighy, among others. I had hoped this would be out a little earlier in the year than it will be. Universal has apparently settled on August 28th for a release date.

There are three brand new featurettes for the film, courtesy of Trailer Addict, and they sure make it look like a guy time at the movies.

We should point out, opens at the end of April in the UK, so we'll have an idea of what we should expect from the film in just a couple months.
