Ever since the Oscar winning success of the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk The Line, Hollywood has decided that musical biopics are the way to go. And how do you do a musical biopic? Use current musicians, of course.

There's the Joe Strummer movie- The Future is Unwritten, the Bob Dylan movie - I'm Not There (with Cate Blanchett as Bob - and yes, she pulls it off), and now, the Dewey Cox movie - Walk Hard.

John C Reilly (last seen singing in 2003's Chicago) takes the lead with cameos from nearly every big star at the moment.
