Walk Hard is upcoming Judd Apatow comedy film expected to be released in December of 2007. The movie will star John C. Reilly as famous musician Dewey Cox and Jenna Fischer as his wife Darlene. The movie will be a parody of musician biopics like Ray and Walk the Line.
Leave it to Tinseltown’s finest writer/director/whatever Judd Apatow to parody the critically-beloved music biography genre.
Hot off the heels from the future-classic Knocked Up (and awaiting the release of his new flick, Superbad this Friday) Apatow is preparing to release Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story on December 14 this year.
The official trailer for Walk Hard debuted at Comic-Con before the screening of Superbad to a rapturous response, and Apatow seems confident that it could garner some Oscar buzz, hence the deadline-safe release date.
Chiggity-check Walk Hard’s plot, cast and out-of-control cameos after the jump.
