CBGB may be no more but its iconic story will live on in the new movie aptly called CBGB. It hits theatres this fall, on October 11.
The trailer gives a glimpse of the gritty venue, which saw the likes of Debbie Harry (Malin Akerman), The Ramones and Patti Smith (Mickey Summer) walk through its doors. The cast, led by Allan Rickman who plays founder Hilly Kristal, also stars Johnny Galecki, Ashley Green, Donald Logue, Justin Bartha, Stana Katic, Taylor Hawkins, Ryan Hurst and Harry Potter“s Rupert Grint.
CBGB, the birthplace of underground rock “n roll and punk, premieres at the “CBGB’ festival on October 9. How appropriate!
