Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, the next project from writer/producer Judd Apatow (whose recent successes include Knocked Up, The 40 Year-Old Virgin
, Superbad, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
), doesn’t hit theaters until December 21st. But MTV managed to dig up some news about it anyway.
The film stars John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox, a singer/songwriter whose career goes through the inevitable ups and downs that come with super-stardom. It’s a mock biopic, and the trailer makes it seem like a direct parody of Walk the Line, with Cox filling in for Johnny Cash. Reilly recorded 30 original songs to fill out the canon of Cox, and the producers are going to release a 2 disc set of the songs, tentatively titled The Cox Box. Awesome.
