This trailer is not what I was expecting. I guess I should say I don’t know what I was expecting, exactly, but based on Kelsey Grammer’s physical appearance here, I guess I was expecting something over-the-top and goofy. And indeed, when the trailer begins, it certainly seems goofy. But then, without warning, everything stops and starts to get dramatic. I’m not sure if that tonal shift will work in the final film, but we’ll see.
In The Space Between, which is described as “an inspiring coming-of-age story set during the iconic 90s LA music scene,” “Micky Adams (Grammer), an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality as his record label looks to drop him and his new ‘unique’ albums. In hopes of breaking out of the mailroom, young Charlie Porter (Jackson White) is tasked with traveling to the musician’s bizarre home and forcing Micky out of his contract. Micky realizes Charlie could be the key to an artistic breakthrough and the pair’s unlikely friendship grows. The odd but powerful bond helps both gain perspective on the music industry, life, love…and the space between.”
The full cast includes Kelsey Grammer, Jackson White, Julia Goldani Telles, Paris Jackson, Andy Daly, and William Fichtner. On top of that, the film features original music from Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of Weezer. And let’s be honest here – none of us ever expected to see a movie where Kelsey Grammer plays a washed-up rock star featuring music from Rivers Cuomo. If you say you did you are lying.
Will Aldis wrote the script for The Space Between, which Rachel Winter directed. The Space Between is headed to a limited theatrical release on April 23. It will then come to video-on-demand and digital on June 15

Oddly I saw john cale (post 7) in a small club in ca and rundgren just popped in and played along it was wonderful..
I’m an old submariner and laffed my butt off watchin “down periscope”
Brian Wilson?
Never was a fan but the meme is legendary..
He looks like Robert Plant.
never really got robert planet and zepplin, weak vocals steeped in mythology.
Gary Brooker from Procol Harem is a vocal miracle. He's been singing the same song for 55 years or so, and he still hits all the notes, with a more rugged timber to his voice.
Kelsey has something he wants to say.
He understands that art comes after science.
I had seen Waylon in his prime and it was a little sad to see this show because most of the folks up in Massachusetts had no appreciation for him. As he was singing, people were lined up at the concessions to get corn dogs and fried dough. Only about 1/3 of the grandstand was filled.
I think this was also just before he had to have his foot amputated for diabetes. I don't think he needed the money but I think he was doing it to keep his band members and stage crew, etc., employed.
Oh you dog, mad jealous! Rudgren has got skills, I saw "Utopia" and later "The New Cars", but that solo tour sucked.
Gosh, I’d forgotten about that movie. Just ordered a copy.
I hope its better than Xbots 12
