more on Walk Hard

I was hoping to see a Walk Hard trailer when I went to see (the completely hilarious) Hot Rod this weekend. Sadly, no. Apparently the trailer premieres with Superbad on August 17. (Unfortunately, Superbad doesn't actually look so good...though Michael Cera is always funny.)

Also...Eddie Vedder is in the movie! And Paul Rudd plays John Lennon. Yay.

UPDATE: There's a little piece on the movie in the latest Rolling Stone, which says

Singer-songwriter Dan Bern and Candy Butchers frontman Mike Viola wrote most of the film's many songs, which range from the protest anthems "There's a Change a Happenin'" and "Mulatto" to the Johnny Cash-esque "Hole in My Pants." (Marshall Crenshaw wrote the title tune and Van Dyke Parks was enlisted for one of Cox's psychedelic jams.) "It was almost like a Manhattan Project for songwriters," says Bern. "It was the most fun thing I've ever done."
