A Red-colored Hawk Films discharge of a Red-colored Hawk Films production. Created by Frederick Whitened, Scott Rosenbaum, Michael Ellis, Neil Carter. Directed by Scott Rosenbaum. Script by Rosenbaum, Jason Cadic.With: Kevin Zegers, Jason Ritter, Taryn Manning, Lukas Haas, Peter Fonda, Kelly Lynch, Lauren Carol, Ruby Dee, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sulmin.Helmer-scripter-producer Scott Rosenbaum's debut, "An Ideal Chronilogical age of Rock 'n' Roll," is definitely an overblown tale of music, friendship and unfaithfulness. Pic boasts a geniune soundtrack of old and new tunes, including a long jam session that taps the talents of blues stories Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sulmin. Regrettably, the unconvincing imaginary story Rosenbaum weaves for this solid musical base hits every meller cliche within the "self-destructive rock star" playbook. Even Peter Fonda, typecast being an over-the-hill road manager, rings true only occasionally. Opening August. 5 in Gotham, pic's lame dialogue, callow thesping and absurdly foreseeable plot make extended play unlikely. Inside a wraparound device, aging rocker Spyder (Kevin Zegers) is questioned with a reporter (Lukas Haas) prior to the film flashes to the 1980s and Spyder's tension-filled go back to his home town and former best friend Eric (Jason Ritter), whose tunes he stole for his megahit first album. Eric demands Spyder, Spyder's bandmates and sexy agent (Taryn Manning) join him and '60s relic Fonda on the folkloric trip lower Route 66 to restore their spark. However the utopian road movie lands in L.A. where sexual indiscretion, double-dealing and cocaine hold sway.Camera (color), Madeleine Gavin editor, Gavin music, Andrew Hollander music supervisor, Christopher Covert original tunes, Andrew Hollander, Steve Conte production designer, Sarah Frank.
