Because it bombed in over here so they changed the title and also cut 20 mins for the american release...and guess what....you can;t shine a turd so it bombed again. took well under 10 million worldwide from a 30 million plus budget/
the true story is cooler, they weren't on a boat but at the abandoned Maunsell Sea Forts on the open sea where no country has jurisdiction. Because of that, they had assault rifles and bazookas to defend themselves.
It is to me a great mystery why this American trailer pretends it's about Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Count. He's great, but the movie's main character is still Carl - and the film is about him and the other character on the boat too.
And the sentence "He's possibly the most famous broadcaster ever" - he's talking about Gavin Cavanagh! The trailer makes you believe it's the Count.
And one more thing: Why change the name? "The boat that rocked" is a far better title.
The first song at the very beginning of the clip was the opening riff of "Gimme Some Lovin'" by the Spencer Davis Group with a 16 year old Steve Winwood on vocals!
gooo richard curtis. what an amazing movie full of comedy, positive energy, and it's a very unique story. can't believe the beatles weren't in it. plus 1 for not monopolizing on the beatles like everyone else lol.
whats up with this movie its exactly the same as the boat that rocked it has already been released here in Australia an now there releaseing it again but now called pirate raido WTF WTF in deed
do you mean the opening tune which is Gimme Some Lovin by The Spencer Davis Group , or the first track which is All Day and All of the Night by The Kinks.
smell oscar rofl. The trailer is actually better than the film. Richard Curtis films have always been naff, he's a one trick pony and his main idea of hilarity is upper class or bourgeois British guys saying 'arse' or 'feck' over and over again very quickly. I am so glad this bombed, maybe people finally got wise to how contrived his films are not to mention utterly sickly. only good thing = not as bad as Notting Hill, but then - what is?
@jaredneedsalife however this was before I saw the movie. And when I saw It I was really pissed off. I thought it was going to be a true story, in which, Philip Seymore Hoffman would portray the bold and daring Count of the airwaves. However, it turned into a shamble and an unorganized story with little to no relevance to history of pirate radio, nor the importance they played in the golden era of rock n' roll.
its based on pirate radio ships in british waters in the 60,s. the most famous of which was Radio Caroline. in Britain the film is called The Boat That Rocked. (see trailers).
I will be seeing this movie. So many things to like about it (Nick Frost, Bill Nighy, Jack Davenport, Kenneth Brannagh, and it's from Focus Features). Like woah.
I grew up with Radio Caroline and Radio London - they hold a special place in my heart and my history. Wonderful music round the clock, and the Kenny and Cash Show. Bliss... and now a film about it by Richard Curtis of Blackadder fame, well, I have to see this!
So saving Britain and the whole free world during WWII doesn't count? And what about SPAM? And then there's all kinds of cartoons for the museum of the moving picture beneath London Bridge - Daffy, Bugs, and the whole gang. Not to mention the music which flows across the Atlantic, and the International courts, which helps us all..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this trailer makes this movie look awesome, shut up u brits about how ur shit is so much better and classy, o im british and have sex with my sox on nobody cares
Actually, British actors generally are more my favorites because they go more into shakespeare before hitting hollywood. Then they just up the industry's performance from the negative ratings. Ian MacKellen (sp?), Judi Dench, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery? Chyeah.
This trailer makes it as if the film focusses completely on Hoffman's character, god, that's just wrong. The original trailer's much better. The film is great.
If you're in the US and want to actually know what the film is like you're better off watching the UK trailers with the original title "The Boat That Rocked"
Such a good film, it'll be great for America to finally get it! :D (This trailer makes the story look completely different from what it actually is, though, I have to admit! ;^^)
