New Featurettes for 'The Boat That Rocked'

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.
