First look at THE BOAT THAT ROCKED, Richard Curtis first movie in 5 years!

Five years after FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL and NOTTING HILL writer Richard Curtis made his directorial debut with the ensemble rom-com LOVE ACTUALLY and he is finally back with a new movie, his latest comedy THE BOAT THAT ROCKED. The 60's set comedy revolves around the pirate raido station Radio Rock, run from the middle of the North Sea and their ongoing commitment to playing the music they want, being anti-establishment and being cool. If you know your radio history, pirate radio was a big deal for British music in that decade and forcing the national radio stations to change their policy and embrace popular music and rock. Back in the rock music era again after his role in ALMOST FAMOUS is Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who plays a brash American DJ named The Count. Bill Nighy, of course, plays the radio boss Quentin. Nick Frost and Rhys Ifans play the homegrown DJ's Dave and Gavin. Not featured in the poster but also in the film are Gemma Arterton, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Jack Davenport and January Jones. Thanks to Empire for the posters! Got a LONG, LONG, LONG time to wait on this one. It doesn't open till May 1st, even though it's the kind of movie that would rule at Christmas. Missed the boat on that one...

THREE MORE CHARACTER POSTERS AFTER THE JUMP...
