Pirate Radio, the Richard Curtis comedy that came from the UK known as The Boat That Rocked, is hitting retail shelves on April 13, 2010.
A rockin' feel-good comedy that plays non-stop hits from the 60's, Pirate Radio is based loosely on a true story. In the 1960's, the British government limited the play of popular music on radio stations to just two hours a day. Pirate radio stations would broadcast the music of the generation 24 hours a day from ships out on the sea.
Pirate Radio tells the story of a group of hilarious rogue deejays each with their own endearing personalities. They play the tunes that the people want to hear that defined a decade where British pop music came to life.
Tom Wisdom's character, Midnight Mark has just two speaking parts throughout the entire film. However, that is Mark's endearing quality - he is the ladies man who never says a word, even while he is deejaying! Clad in leather pants through the film, Mark is mysterious and known as "the sexiest man on the planet". Unfortunately, the US version differs from the UK version and a very big scene featuring Mark and his lothario tendencies was cut from the American release. The DVD and Blu-Ray will both feature deleted scenes, so there is a possibility American audiences will get to see Midnight Mark surrounded by 35 naked women in his "love den".
Pirate Radio is available for pre-order with Amazon.com HERE.
