I was under the impression that at some point, one of the contributors around these parts had brought up the upcoming Richard Curtis comedy The Boat that Rocked which stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Nick Frost and Rhys Ifans. It’s the story (not sure how close to real life) about a group of DJs who in the 1960’s, sent out a pirate radio signal from the North Sea.
If it wasn’t for the cast, I’d likely skip right over this story but considering the players, I can’t help but be mildly curious and having seen the trailer, I’m down-right excited. This looks like it’ll be a whole lot of fun. And I’m sorry, if Nick Frost purring doesn’t do it for you, you’re beyond help.
It’s not the best trailer, but it certainly made me smile.
The Boat that Rocked is scheduled to open in the UK on May 1st, 2009.
Check out the trailer below!

No, I certainly I agree there are similarities between Shimura’s...

How did this one slip past me? The trailer doesn’t overly thrill me, but the cast alone is already dipping into my pocket book.
