Open Road Films surprised the Hall H crowd at Comic-Con with a mystery panel that turned out to be solely for their new comedy, Rock the Kasbah. While this was hardly reason for the blockbuster-pumped fans to get excited, that quickly turned around when Bill Murray hit the stage and began telling stories for an hour. That was pretty amazing and the people ate it up with a spoon. There was just one problem; nobody was asking about Rock the Kasbah. Maybe this new trailer will drum up a bit more interest.
Directed by Barry Levinson and written by Murray's pal Mitch Glazer, the film centers on a washed-up rock manager whose life and career are turned around when he discovers an incredible new talent in Kabul. Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Leem Lubany, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride, Scott Caan, and Arian Moayed co-star, but if people are going to pay for this it will be for Murray, and at least he looks to be having a good time.
Rock the Kasbah opens October 23rd.
