ComingSoon.net talked exclusively to co-writer/producer Judd Apatow, John C. Reilly and Jenna Fischer about their music biopic spoof, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, opening in theaters Friday, December 21.
In the film, Reilly plays larger-than-life musician and songwriter Dewey Cox. On his rock ‘n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 22 kids and 14 stepkids, stars in his own ’70s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to — and then kicks — every drug known to man… but despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman — longtime backup singer Darlene (Fischer).
