Special thanks to Gemma-Arterton.net for alerting me to this. The official posters for the forthcoming “The Boat that Rocked” have been released. I’m greatly looking forward to this movie. It’s the next project from Brit Film dynamo, Richard Curtis. Richard Curtis wrote classics such as Notting Hill and wrote/directed the lovely movie “Love, Actually.”
They’ve released one overall poster and four character themed posters that look rather interesting. The Boat that Rocked stars Bill Nighy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost and Kenneth Branagh.
Here’s the official The Boat that Rocked synopsis:
The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the ’60s and pop music. It’s about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock — a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that’s populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.”
