Get Bill Murray involved with a movie, and everyone in Hollywood wants in!
Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, Shia LaBeouf, and Zooey Deschanel will all be joining Murray in ROCK THE KASBAH. Barry Levinson directs the film with a script written by Mitch Glazer. The last flick Glazer wrote was PASSION PLAY so I’m hoping he’s had some time to think about that since then. But he did so well on SCROOGED back in 1988!
Also, I thought LaBeouf was done…what happened there?
Here’s the synopsis:
Rock the Kasbah tells the story of Richie Vance, a a has-been rock manager who takes his last remaining client on a USO tour of Afghanistan. When Richie finds himself in Kabul, abandoned, penniless and without his passport, he discovers a young girl with an extraordinary voice and manages her through Afghanistan’s version of American Idol, the wildly popular Afghan Star.
ROCK THE KASBAH will begin shooting in June.
