A new trailer for Bill Murray-starrer "Rock the Kasbah" has arrived. The two-minute video offers a lot of never-before-seen footage, exploring the role of the supporting cast which include Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride, Scott Caan and Bruce Willis.
Murray plays Richie Lanz, a rock manager who attempts to return to his former glory. During a tour with his last remaining client (Deschanel) in Afghanistan, Lanz is stranded all alone after she steals his money and passport.
Trapped in a war-torn area, Lanz has to find a singer to replace his client. He eventually discovers an extraordinarily talented young woman who dreams of becoming the first female contestant on "Afgan Star". Unfortunately, she is forbidden to sing and is threatened to be killed if she sings. Teaming up with a hooker (Hudson), a pair of hard-partying war profiteers (McBride and Caan) and a hair-trigger mercenary (Willis), Lanz tries to make the girl's dream come true.
Barry Levinson directs while Bill Block, Jacob Pechenik and Steve Bing produce the movie. With the script written by Mitch Glazer, the comedy movie is slated for a release in the U.S. on October 23.
