Check out the trailer and poster for Michael Cuesta’s upcoming drama Roadie with Ron Eldard (Super 8), Bobby Cannavale and Jill Hennessy.
In a transformative role, Eldard plays Jimmy, a longtime roadie for the legendary Blue Oyster Cult, who has just been fired by the band. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to see his aging mom in Forest Hills, Queens, where a wild encounter with two old high school friends shows him that some things never change.
Here’s the synopsis from the film:
Canned from a 20-year job as roadie for Blue Oyster Cult, Jimmy is broke and desperate. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to Forest Hills, Queens to visit his aging mother, where a wild night with some hard-partying high school friends shows him that some things never change. From director Michael Cuesta, “Roadie” features powerful performances from Ron Eldard, Bobby Cannavale, Jill Hennessy and a refreshingly eclectic 70s hard rock soundtrack.
The film also stars Lois Smith, David Marguiles, Catherine Wolf, and Suzette Gunn.
Roadie will hit limited theaters in the U.S. on January 6th, 2012.
