BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Malin Akerman To Star As Debbie Harry In CBGB Film

Having recruited Alan Rickman to play CBGB founder Hilly Kristal in his film about the rise of the legendary New York music venue, director Randall Miller is adding to the line-up, bringing in Malin Akerman, Rupert Grint, Stana Katic, Joel David Moore, Julian Acosta, Richard De Klerk, Josh Zuckerman, John Holstrom, Ryan Hurst and Estelle Harris.

Akerman is taking on possibly the most famous name, since she’ll be playing Debbie Harry, lead singer of Blondie and one of the most successful talents to get their start at the club. Though right up there in terms of fame is Johnny Ramone, played by Acosta, with Moore as co-Ramone Joey.

Grint, meanwhile, will be Cheetah Chrome, the Dead Boys’ guitarist and part of the punk movement that was a big part of CBGB’s historic rise. Katic is on to play producer Genya Raven, who also happened to be the lead singer of Goldie & The Gingerbreads, reportedly the first all-female band to snag a recording contract.

De Klerk will be CBGB soundman Taxi, Hurst is Mad Mountain and Harris will be Kristal’s mother, Bertha.

Miller co-wrote the script with Jody Savin and is starting shooting in Georgia next month before heading to New York.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
