Bill Murrayhits all the right notes at least comedically in the hilarious first trailer for Rock the Kasbah. The veteran actor stars as Richie Lanz, a washed-up rock tour manager who drags his last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel) on a USO tour in Afghanistan, where the performer robs him blind and abandons him without his passport. Through a series of bizarre events, he discovers a talented singer (Leem Lubany) and manages her through the singing competition Afghan Star. Theres got to be a reason for this, Murray says in the clip. This is fate.
Murray, as expected, brings most of the teasers big laughs. On his plane ride to the Middle East, Lanz reassures the reluctant Deschanel character that shell play in front of 2,000 horny soldiers. (When the client hurls next to him, he cracks, Im sorry, but I cant tell if youre vomiting or laughing.)
Toward the end of the trailer, he performs a spirited if out-of-tune a cappella version of Deep Purples brooding anthem Smoke on the Water. In keeping with the theme, the clip incorporates other classic rock tracks like David Bowies Rebel Rebel and Harry Nilssons Jump Into the Fire.
Rock the Kasbah hits theaters October 23rd. The film was written by Mitch Glazer (Scrooged), directed by Barry Levinson (Good Morning, Vietnam; Rain Man) and features an all-star cast that includes Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, Scott Kaan and Taylor Kinney.
