The upcoming Rock the Kasbah from Barry Levinson and Mitch Glazer starring Bill Murray has just released what is probably its best trailer yet.
Bill Murray is in full Bill Murray form as a desperate tour manager stuck in Afghanistan as you can clearly see here.
Look for Rock the Kasbah in theaters on Fri. Oct. 23rd.
Doing rare promotion for his upcoming film Rock the Kasbah, Bill Murray stopped by to greet Comic-Con’s hallowed Hall H to give the “Bill Murray Experience” to the crowd in attendance, whether Murray would ever fess up to crashing any sort of party or not.
He quipped, he philosophized, he waxed poetic, and pretty much gave fans what they were looking for. You can almost imagine it as a deleted scene from Lost in Translation.
Watch his whole panel appearance joined by Rock the Kasbah’s Mitch Glazer and panel moderator Josh Horowitz here.
While you’re curiosity might be still aflutter as to what Bill Murray and Sofia Coppola have cooked up for A Very Murray Christmas, you’ll have another Murray vehicle to look forward this year in the Barry Levinson directed/Mitch Glazer written Rock The Kasbah.
Murray plays a tour manager that loses one American act while touring in Afghanistan who has to make a star out of an Afghan girl on their version of American Idol. Maybe she’ll end up singing the famous Clash song?
We’re on board for that.
Watch the trailer here and look for its release on Oct. 23rd.

You will be able to see Bill Murray as a has been rock manager making one last go for success by shepherding a talented, young girl through Afghan Star next spring. Not only are Danny McBride, Zooey Deschanel, and more, but Good Morning Vietnam’s Barry Levinson is at the helm.
Murray in a foreign place seems to be a pretty good comedic formula, so keep a watch out for this come springtime.

Bill Murray To Star in Barry Levinson-Directed ‘Rock The Kasbah’
The plot of Rock The Kasbah really rings of The Sapphires that made it’s way to limited release earlier this year with following young female singers into enemy territory, thus seeming a little suspect.
However, having vet Barry Levinson directing (he directed Good Morning Vietnam) and comedy legend Bill Murray starring makes up for a lot that suspicion.
