Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) and Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle) are set to star in a musical comedy film titled Power Ballad. The film comes from Once and Sing Street director John Carney.
The film will chart the story of “a wedding singer (Rudd), a rock star (Jonas), and the song that comes between them.”
Carney, who is currently shooting the film in Dublin, said in a statement: “I’m delighted to be working with so many great people. I’ve been working on this script with my buddy Peter for years, and now Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas are in my kitchen.”
Alex Walton of WME added: “We are so excited to bring John Carney’s next film to Cannes. John has a magic ability to weave great music into wonderfully engaging and universally relatable stories that make audience emotions run high.”
He added: “Power Ballad is fun and heartwarming – themes that audiences crave today. His unique vision, coupled with the global appeal of Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, will give buyers exactly what they’re looking for.”
I enjoy the films that Carney makes and I’m looking forward to seeing how this next one turns out.
