Samuel Goldwyn Films has unveiled the first trailer for Rudderless, the feature film directorial debut of actor William H Macy (Shameless). Rudderless will be released theatrically as well as on Digital HD and VOD on October 17, 2014 (Paramount Home Media’s handling the digital release). Billy Crudup and Anton Yelchin lead the cast which includes Macy’s spouse Felicity Huffman along with Laurence Fishburne and Selena Gomez.
The Plot:
Billy Crudup plays Sam, a former high-profile advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the sudden death of his son. Living off the grid on a docked sailboat, he wastes away his days while drowning his pain in alcohol. When Sam discovers a box filled with his son’s demo tapes and lyrics, his own child’s musical talent is a revelation for him, a grieving father who felt he’d been absent from his son’s life. Communing with his deceased son’s dashed dreams, Sam learns each song and eventually musters the will to perform one at a local bar. When Quentin (Yelchin), a young musician in the audience, is captivated by the song, the unlikely duo forms a rock band that becomes surprisingly popular and revitalizes both of their lives.
