Any Bill Murray is good Bill Murray and from the looks of this new trailer for his upcoming film Rock the Kasbah we’re going to be getting lots and lots of good Bill Murray.
No way this film isn’t an instant classic. Just check out the synopsis…
A has-been rock manager from Van Nuys, California stumbles upon a once-in-a-lifetime voice in a remote Afghan cave in ‘Rock the Kasbah,’ a dramatic comedy inspired by stranger-than-fiction, real-life events and directed by Oscar winner Barry Levinson. Richie Lanz (Bill Murray), dumped and stranded in war-torn Kabul by his last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel), discovers Salima Khan (Leem Lubany), a Pashtun teenager with a beautiful voice and the courageous dream of becoming the first woman to compete on national television in Afghanistan’s version of “American Idol.”
Richie partners with a savvy hooker (Kate Hudson), a pair of hard-partying war profiteers (Danny McBride and Scott Caan) and a hair-trigger mercenary (Bruce Willis) and, braving dangerous cultural prejudices, manages his new protégée into becoming the “Afghan Star.”
That’s right, it’s also got Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride and Bruce Willis in addition to Bill Murray. Love it.
Rock the Kasbah comes out on October 23, 2015. See you there.
