CBGB Trailer

Here’s the first trailer for CBGB, which chronicles the story of New York’s famed club that helped spark the punk and new wave movements in the States.  Directed by Randall Miller, the film stars Alan Rickman, Donal Logue, Malin Akerman, Rupert Grint, Ashley Greene, Johnny Galecki, Ryan Hurst, Justin Bartha and Bradley Whitford.  

While I was a huge fan of punk rock when growing up, I must say this film looks fairly underwhelming, however there will at least be some solid music in it.  XLrator Media is distributing the film, however there hasn’t been a release date confirmed as of yet.  Hit the break for the trailer and more info.

Here’s a segment from the press release regarding the film:

“CBGB” features an all-star cast, including Malin Akerman (The Numbers Station), Ashley Greene (Twilight franchise), Johnny Galecki (“The Big Bang Theory”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Justin Bartha (The Hangover franchise), Joel David Moore (Avatar), Freddy Rodriguez (“Six Feet Under”), Donal Logue, Stana Katic (“Castle”), and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters.  With 16 on-camera musical performances, the film features over 60 classic songs by the Talking Heads, The Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, The Police and The Dead Boys, among others.
