The official logline for the movie reads, “An uplifting music-driven story about a wedding singer, a rock star and the song that comes between them.” The script comes from Carney and Peter McDonald (The Bachelor Weekend).
On working with Nick and Rudd, Carney stated, “I’m delighted to be working with so many great people. I’ve been working on this script with my buddy Peter for years, and now Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas are in my kitchen.”
Also, 30WEST, WME Independent, and UTA Independent Film Group are making ready for the movie’s sale on the Cannes Film Festival later this month. “We are so excited to bring John Carney’s next film to Cannes. John has a magic ability to weave great music into wonderfully engaging and universally relatable stories that make audience emotions run high,” stated Alex Walton of WME.
“Power Ballad is fun and heartwarming; themes that audiences crave today. His unique vision, coupled with the global appeal of Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, will give buyers exactly what they’re looking for,” Walton added.
