The folks at Sony hosted a preview today of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, the latest guaranteed blockbuster from the Judd Apatow comedy empire. Starring John C. Reilly and directed by Jake Kasdan, Walk Hard is the first bona fide parody from the Apatow gang, spoofing of Walk the Line, The Doors and pretty much every other musician biopic ever made.
Being an Apatow flick, Walk the Line also features the requisite number of cameos, including a hilarious scene in which Cox drops acid with the Beatles while in India. Paul Rudd plays John, Justin Long plays George, Jack Black plays Paul and Jason Schwartzman plays Ringo. Much of the scene is spent poking fun at the fact that none of the actors remotely resemble members of the Fab Four.
Expect a more accurate impersonation from White Stripes frontman Jack White, who plays Elvis in a brief but memorable cameo.
