The movie, entitled "The Boat That Rocked", is written by Richard Curtis, the person behind Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary. The movie will star names such as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy (who you may remember from two other films - take a guess), and various other people (no offense to those involved, I'm just limited to space, read the PR below for all the details). But more importantly, it will contain a Mr. Nick Frost, who plays "Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster".

"The Boat That Rocked" is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The picture is billed as the first "non-rom-com".

The Boat That Rocked is currently scheduled for a release date of April 9, 2009 in the UK. No word yet on a US release.

Second, over on YouTube, one of the often asked about things and most wanted has finally appeared. For those familiar with the bio, it should stand out. One of Nick's firsts appearances on the media scene, the Pizza Hut commercial has finally surfaced!

Now some movie bits. First - Penelope. Nick has been confirmed as to be in this movie, as listed on his CV, based off some behind the scenes videos. The question is whether his role is significant. Chances are it is just a few scenes. For those interested, the film should be already available in the UK as of February 1st, and February 29th here in the States (source: IMDB). For those looking to fill the void and take the plunge -- don't blame me if the movie is a stinker. What can you do, right.

The other movie, Wild Child, has been confirmed to have Nick as well. However, it is also confirmed from Nick himself that he's only in it for a couple small scenes. Feel like taking the plunge? Have at it on August 15th, the worldwide date. You can see one of Nick's small scenes in the trailer as well. It appears at the very end of it.

That about wraps it up for this post. For those unfortunately celebrating "since when were you allergic to chocolate?" Day, I'll be thinking of you as I watch my favorite show, with nary a care in the world.

Love,

But more importantly, congratulations to The Simpsons Movie for winning best british comedy film!

Wait - come again?

I certainly can't be the only one who finds the irony in seeing an American film win a British award.

Only two more days left in the Robot giveaway! Enter!
