The first trailer for “Power Ballad" offers a look at Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas starring in a new comedy from director John Carney.
The film’s logline teases Rudd’s character, Rick, as a washed-up wedding singer who bonds with pop star Danny, played by Jonas, leading to a late-night jam sesh.
But, when Danny steals Rick’s inspirational lyrics, “Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves…even if it means risking everything he cares about.”
Described as “a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition,” the film arrives in theaters June 5th after festival stops at the Dublin International Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival.
