The first trailer William H. Macy’s directorial debut, Rudderless, has debuted, giving us a look at Billy Crudup and Anton Yelchin in the musical drama. The movie debuted to mixed reviews as Sundance Film Festival, and will hit US cinemas and VoD in October (no UK date is currently set).
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In William H. Macy’s moving directorial debut RUDDERLESS, Billy Crudup plays Sam, a former high-profile advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the sudden death of his son. Living off the grid on a docked sailboat, he wastes away his days while drowning his pain in alcohol. When Sam discovers a box filled with his son’s demo tapes and lyrics, his own child’s musical talent is a revelation for him, a grieving father who felt he’d been absent from his son’s life. Communing with his deceased son’s dashed dreams, Sam learns each song and eventually musters the will to perform one at a local bar. When Quentin, a young musician in the audience, is captivated by the song, the unlikely duo forms a rock band that becomes surprisingly popular and revitalizes both of their lives.’
Selena Gomez, Laurence Fishburne and Felicity Huffman also star. Take a look at the trailer below [Read more…]
