Rainn Wilson Parties Like A Rocker

With his role as Dwight Schrute, the power-hungry brown-noser on NBC’s The Office, Rainn Wilson could be the funniest man on TV. After knocking out smaller roles in solid flicks like Juno and The Last Mimzy, the Rainn man is stepping into his first leading man role with The Rocker.

The film follows Fish, a regular guy who was the original drummer for world-famous hair metal band Vesuvius before they blew up. He’s still bitter, but after his nephew asks him to fill in for a missing member in his high school band at prom, Fish gets a second chance at superstardom. Expect some funny flashback scenes of Rainn in full spandex & hairspray mode. The movie hits theatres on August 1st, so watch the first trailer after the jump.
