I don’t even know what to say about this trailer for The Rocker , starring Rainn Wilson (Dwight on “The Office”) as a former drummer for a hot band who’s given a second chance to rock out when his nephew asks him to play in their band at the prom. Wilson is so obviously insane and so obviously committed completely to bringing the character to life it’s a little ...

Not too much to report today, especially because - as usual - I'm already running late for work, but I figured just about everyone's Thursday would be brightened up at least a bit by the sight of Rainn Wilson in a really goofy haircut. Before we get to that, however, there's good news today that for at least one veteran New Line director, John Waters, there will indeed be life after Warner ...

Just a quick post to remind you that Steve Carell is hosting the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 17th with Usher as musical guest. He first hosted the show in 2005. Meanwhile, Rainn Wilson’s The Rocker has a new trailer up at Yahoo! Movies . Go watch it. And reruns of Fun Run and Dunder Mifflin Infinity are airing Sundays, replacing Monk and Psych. Steve Carell ,  ...

Being a blogger allows one a lot of luxuries you don't get when you have to go into an office. You can stay in your pajamas as long as you want; play loud and/or obnoxious music; work anywhere with an internet connection; and, when the occasion calls for it, you can watch half an episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood while you eat a bowl of Kashi, like I did yesterday. Since most of you ...

School of Rock with teens instead of squirts equals this new trailer for The Rocker . Example: “You don’t ask your parents for permission to rock!” And if you watch closely Rainn Wilson (yes, veddy good on The Office ) even begins to resemble Jack Black in SoR near the end. There are some laffs here: fat guy hurricane’ing snot on a hot gal’s ...

Finally! I have been looking forward to seeing a trailer for The Rocker for what feels like for ever , especially when we get trailers for things that aren't even coming out until December and The Rocker is opening August 1. Billed as "a comedy for the rocker in all of us," The Rocker stars Rainn Wilson and an assortment of comedic actors, like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad ( 21 ) and Superbad ...

Rainn Wilson of The Office fame is a hot commodity. Fresh off his small but awesome part in Juno , Rainn will star in his own movie this August. The movie is called The Rocker , and it stars Rainn, Christina Applegate, Jane Lynch, Josh Gad and Jeff Garlin. Rainn plays “Uncle Rob” who was in a huge band in the 80’s, but got dumped by his bandmates. When his nephew ...

Watch the trailer for the Office star's new movie The Rocker .

For those who've been waiting to see Rainn Wilson absolutely rock out in The Rocker , a brand new trailer for the film has just premiered over at Yahoo . Originally, this flick was supposed to hit screens about a month or so ago, but it's since been pushed to August 1 -- and, from the looks of this trailer, I can totally see this being that late-summer comedy hit that builds buzz and ends ...

Rainn Wilson is a big part of the success of NBC’s The Office, but is he headed for super-stardom or will his career stall beyond his portrayal of the megalomaniacal Dwight Schrute? Up until now he’s had some supporting roles in movies like Juno, My Super Ex-Girlfriend and The Last Mimzy, but he is still [...]

Here's the new trailer for The Rocker , out August 1, which stars Rainn Wilson as Rob, a washed-up former '80s rock star (from a band called Vesuvius). When his nephew's band loses their drummer, they ask him to fill in at the prom, and the usual Almost Famous groupie golden god stuff ensues, but with Rainn Wilson as the wild and crazy guy: With deadpan lines like "No I will not buy beer ...

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR THE ROCKER AFTER THE JUMP  I’ll be honest, Rainn Wilson as a washed up 80s rockstar who has a comeback drumming for his nephew’s high school band is a pitch I’d probably catch if I were a movie exec (wait, was that gay?). That's why it’s sad how many times people get hit in the face and/or nuts during the trailer.  That figure tends to ...

Lets get this out of the way — I absolutely love anything that Rainn Wilson does. I have been a longtime fan of “The Office” (who isn’t?) and he hasn’t yet done any movies that have soiled the TV-to-movie crossover. His small role in Juno was awesome… Lets face it — the man is comedic genius in a can. So when I heard that he was going to play a ...

The first trailer of the 20th Century Fox's comedy movie starring Rainn Wilson and Christina Applegate has made its way to the net.

The first trailer for Rainn Wilson's The Rocker has debuted. "Office" fans are definitely going to enjoy this. The movie is about a drummer from a failed 80's band that joins a high school band to live his dreams of becoming a rock superstar. It stars Rainn Wilson as Robert Fishman, the drummer who joins the band. Superbad's gorgeous Emma Stone also stars and even Will Arnett has a ...
