Slash Appears In Promotional Videos For The Movie "The Rocker"

Rainn Wilson "Chats" Up 'The Rocker'

August 13, 2008

After a little release date juggling, The Rocker will finally hit theaters next week. The movie stars Rainn Wilson from The Office as a has-been (or maybe that's a never-was) who sees another shot a rock god status when his nephew's high school garage band finds itself in dire need of a drummer for their gig playing the school prom.

It's got quite a few funny moments, and in particular, SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis gets a lot of laughs, and while I liked the movie, I think I like these incredibly bizarre and entirely unrelated promotional videos even more.

Wilson plays himself, hosting something called Book Chat. In the first episode, Wilson interviews someone he believes to be Maya Angelou. In fact, it's Slash from Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver. An honest mistake, I guess. And then, over the course of four installments, Wilson and his special guest talk absolute nonsense.

Slash, of course, is cool as always. That Rainn Wilson is as annoying as hell though.
