Trailer Debuts for William H. Macy’s Touching RUDDERLESS
Samuel Goldwyn Films has released the brand new trailer for William H. Macy’s upcoming directorial debut RUDDERLESS. Definitely one to put on your October calendar, the movie had its world-premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it was the closing night film.
In RUDDERLESS, Billy Crudup plays Sam, a former high-profile advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the sudden death of his son. Living off the grid on a docked sailboat, he wastes away his days while drowning his pain in alcohol. When Sam discovers a box filled with his son’s demo tapes and lyrics, his own child’s musical talent is a revelation for him, a grieving father who felt he’d been absent from his son’s life.
Communing with his deceased son’s dashed dreams, Sam learns each song and eventually musters the will to perform one at a local bar. When Quentin, a young musician in the audience, is captivated by the song, the unlikely duo forms a rock band that becomes surprisingly popular and revitalizes both of their lives.
Crudup, who gives a searing performance, leads an exemplary cast that includes Anton Yelchin as Quentin, Selena Gomez, Laurence Fishburne and Felicity Huffman.
With RUDDERLESS, William H. Macy helms a poignant and inspirational musical drama about the power of love, forgiveness and redemption. He says, “One of the major characters in the film is the music. Prepare to lose your heart to Billy Crudup. His performance is one of those cinematic gems you wait your whole life for.”
RUDDERLESS opens in theaters and available on Digital HD & On Demand October 17.
