Trailer - Sex & Drugs & Rock and Roll
Starring Andy Serkis as 80's rocker Ian Dury
Damn, I remember Ian Dury. He was crazy but fucking brilliant. Apparently he was truly a flaming asshole as well, as you can tell by watching the trailer above. I read an article the other day about this film, in which the filmmakers talked about how nervous they were to present the screenplay to Dury's widow and son. They were relieved of their anxiety when they got the answer "Oh, he was much worse than that."
Andy once again puts in a hell of a performance; it looks like he's done a beautiful job of capturing Dury's bitter, manic, vicious, celebratory lunacy. Quite a good actor, he. Have you checked out his work as Albert Einstein in
Einstein and Eddington? Another really grand job. It's going to be interesting watching his career develop. I've got the feeling we'll be seeing many surprising and excellent characters from him.
