In the tradition of such milestone musical biographies as Ray, Walk the Line, and Selena comes Walk Hard, the up-and-down-and-up-again struggle of legendary musician Dewey Cox (Academy Award® nominee John C. Reilly).
He rose from the poverty of a hardscrabble Alabama farm to conquer the world of popular music through a rollercoaster career that spans seven decades.
On his rock 'n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own 70s TV and a chimp only to blindly trample them all on his relentless journey to the top.
During a life that includes losing his sense of smell after a tragic childhood accident, conquering the music industry and carousing with celebrities from Elvis to The Beatles, before suffering from a drug addiction, ending up in prison and rehab.
But despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman - longtime backup singer Darlene Madison.
Starring: John C Reilly, Jenna Fischer, Kristen Wiig, Tim Meadows and Raymond J.Barry.
Walk Hard is released 12th May 2008.
