CBGB (2013, D: Miller, S: Alan Rickman & lots of others)
The historic New York City punk nightclub is the center of the forthcoming film CBGB, and that there is the promotional poster for it. That’s Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop saying “Lick my stomach!” and Alan Rickman as CBGB & OMFUG founder Hilly Kristal
Left to right you’ve got Debbie Harry, “co-founder” Idaho, Genya Ravan, the sound guy Taxi, Rupert Grint (!) as Cheetah Chrome, Stiv Bators, Joey Ramone, Patti Smith, security guard Merv Ferguson, Hilly’s daughter Lisa Kristal, and Iggy Pop.
Other notable rock stars to appear in the film will be Richard Hell, David Byrne, and of course Tom Verlaine, all appearing not as themselves. CBGB will be released later this year.
In a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, director Randall Miller said the movie is “a story of Hilly and how he basically was the catalyst for this gigantic, sea-changing music. And he didn’t set out to do that initially, but he became sort of the godfather of punk and underground rock.”

As much as I love a lot of the music to have happened around CBGB and have great appreciation for what happened there, I have almost no interest in seeing this.
I know that it will be that quirky-cartoonish style that I don't really care for.

Yea...the poster makes it look like Kevin Smith directed it or something.

Great idea. Could be as good as 24 Hour Party People and its story of the legendary Hacienda club and the music scene surounding it. But it probably won't be.

I'm no ad executive, but I think a tagline like "This ain't no party. This ain't no disco" would probably be better than the one they picked.

i'm pretty impressed with this trailer. looks like it lays out a little truth. honestly, I was anticipated a really bad, tacky SLC Punk approach, but the fact they're including Television in the mix makes this somewhat legit. I really think a CBGBs film in the vein of a 24-Hour Party People mockumentary format would've been incredible, though.

I'm sure the comic-panel stuff and the Scott Pilgrim graphics won't win a whole lot of fans, but (Regarding the panels) *a certain cow ended up having my favorite line of the movie. (Don't trip. A cow doesn't walk into CBGBs or anything like that---Although Johnathan the dog gets a bit more screentime than one would expect)
Now that I think about it, this is almost like a companion to American Splendor. Rickman's Krystal is like a throwback to Giamatti's Pekar....Oh, and I don't think I've ever seen Malin Akerman look so dang cute before.
Only other complaint would be that I would've liked to see more of Mary Herron and the punk-mag duo, but as pointed out earlier, this is Krystal's story.
*After re-watching it, a cow speaks more than once. I'm referring to the one that appears near the end of the movie.

Not sure where to put this as not deserving of its own thread:
‘Midnight Rider’ Director Randall Miller Faces New Arrest Warrant Over Probation Violations

‘Midnight Rider’ Director Randall Miller Faces New Arrest Warrant Over Probation Violations
EXCLUSIVE: Six years after Sarah Jones was killed on the Georgia set of Midnight Rider, director Randall Miller is facing being arrested again.
Law enforcement authorities in the Peach State today requested that Department of Community Supervision issue a warrant for Miller for violating the conditions of his probation, we have learned. The effort arises from Deadline’s exclusive earlier this week that Miller had directed the DGA sanctioned film Higher Grounds last summer in Serbia, Colombia and the UK.
“I have requested Wayne County probation to issue a warrant for his arrest,” Assistant District Attorney John Johnson told Deadline on Friday. “Randall Miller has violated the terms of his probation,” the Georgia prosecutor added of Miller getting behind the camera on the Kate Nash-starring Higher Grounds. “As a director, he’s in violation.”
If after a hearing before a judge, Miller is found to have violated his probation, Johnson said, “the time remaining on his probation could be revoked” and the California-based director could be returned to jail in Georgia.
“One of the conditions of his probation is that he cannot serve as a director, assistant director or as a supervisor responsible for the safety of others on a film,” Johnson explained of Miller’s 2016’s probation terms. “The way Georgia interprets those kinds of clauses is that those are separate entities, so he cannot serve as a director.”
“After a thorough review of the case and collaboration with our partners in law enforcement, it has been determined that Mr. Miller’s actions result in a violation of his probation,” Department of Community Supervision spokesperson Brian Tukes said in a statement on Friday.
