International 'Boat That Rocked' trailer

Ever since Richard Curtis' marvelous comedy "Love Actually," I've been eagerly waiting for him to return to the big screen with his next directorial effort. Almost six years have passed, but now he's back!

The film is entitled "The Boat That Rocked," and it focuses on a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.

The cast is promising as well, with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans, Emma Thompson and Gemma Arterton all on board.

Now the international trailer for "Boat" has debuted online, and it offers quite a bit of new footage not previously seen in the domestic preview. And it certainly looks hilarious and original.

Curtis, a British comedy veteran, also co-wrote "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral." He also worked on many episodes for "Mr. Bean."

As far as I now, no U.S. release date for the film has been confirmed yet. I will keep you posted though.
