Set in the 70s, the movie co-stars Jamie Bell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Gemma Jones and Richard Madden. According to the studio, the movie is "based on a true fantasy".
Richard, who plays John Reid—the musician's manager, said, "There are moments in a rock star's life that define who he is. Where there was darkness, there is no you. And it's going to be a wild ride."
