CineVegas Film Festival 2008

Are you ready to rock, Las Vegas? I said...ARE YOU READY TO ROCK??? It's Cinevegas' 10th anniversary and we are cranking it up with 10 days of films and parties that will blow your mind. It all starts with the world premiere of THE ROCKER, a hilarious comedy from the director of THE FULL MONTY that features some of the funniest comedians working today.

“THE ROCKER” is Robert “Fish” Fishman, the drummer for an eighties hair band. He's living the rock n' roll dream… until he is kicked out of the group. Twenty years later, the desperate rocker joins his nephew's band, “A.D.D.,” finally reclaiming the rock-god throne he's always thought he deserved-while taking his much younger bandmates along for the ride of their lives.

In this rockin' mix of physical comedy, heart and garage band/power rock/heavy metal music, The Office' Rainn Wilson trades his paper company desk job for rock 'n roll fame, taking on the role of a big, sweaty, out-of-control-and sometimes naked-drummer who gets a second chance at rock superstardom. He's joined by Christina Applegate (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Josh Gad (21), pop star Teddy Geiger, and Emma Stone (Superbad). Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) directs.

Cinevegas is thrilled to open the festival with such a raucously funny film that sets the perfect tone for the inspired madness that will follow the rest of the week.
