Uploaded on Oct 6, 2009

This film really captures the freedom spirit of the 60's.
Coming to theaters on November 13, 2009.
Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Sturridge, Talulah Riley

Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose pirate radio captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down. Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ships captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris ODowd); ladies magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton); reporter News John (Will Adamsdale); and lesbian ships cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966, Quentins teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rocks prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang dont know is that back in London, landlocked government minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal - permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before

    Trust America to make an American the focus of this trailer which is clearly advertising a British film which is set in Britain and is about pirate radio in Britain.

    One of my all time favorite movies. How does this amazing cast NOT make you laugh and smile? Rhys Darby is my favorite! "I can't swim!!" haha

    You must catch the deleted in the movie---"the meaning of life" . One of the best scenes in Pirate Radio that wan't included in the movie--but available on the DVD. In my youth I listened to these stations on my Zenith Transoceanic 3000 when conditions were just right.

    I cannot believe the American advert made The Count look like the pivotal role in this movie! There was no central character, it was an ensemble cast! This trailer has REALLY pissed me off!
