Get ready to rock out with Power Ballad!
Some songs come with strings attached. POWER BALLAD made its World Premiere on Sunday, March 1, at Dublin’s stunning Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. It served as the Closing Night Gala of the Dublin International Film Festival (DIFF). Moreover, it marked a milestone moment, as the festival presented its finale in the iconic venue for the first time. Writer/Director/Producer John Carney was in attendance. Additionally, stars Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas also joined the film’s celebratory debut.
Bringing the film to Dublin held a particular significance for Carney, as the story is set largely in Ireland. This made the hometown premiere an especially meaningful launch for both the filmmakers and the city. After its World Premiere, POWER BALLAD then headed to SXSW for its North American Premiere on March 14. Next, it will open nationwide in theatres on June 5.
In advance of the film’s highly anticipated debut, Lionsgate is thrilled to share the new trailer for the movie.
PREMISE
When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. Then, when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. He will do this even if it means risking everything he cares about. From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), POWER BALLAD is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.
Power Ballad will open in theaters on June 5th.
