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

This has the potential to be interesting, as long as they manage to avoid including “woke” nonsense in it.
With the Redi-Whip type cans on the breakfast table, they’re obviously going for a Brian Wilson type vibe.
Unfortunately, I have known characters that resemble this one. The sad truth is that the venues that book aging “rock stars” are usually indian casinos to draw aging boomers to spend their money on slot machines, etc...

““an inspiring coming-of-age story set during the iconic 90s LA music scene,”
What? They haven’t done enough of those yet?
Get the barf bags ready.
"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."
I wonder if we get to hear this brilliant music? Usually the aged rock star is in a holding pattern cranking out what he has always cranked out... or worse, the pen has run dry.
The people that want to hear this “new” music will probably be disappointed. But maybe the focus is the human interplay between the two people.
It’s not that the rock star gets old, it’s that their writers do, leaving them to recycle or retire.
And one of the few conservatives left in HWood.
Or pre-COVID, Celebrity Cruise Lines...
He looks like the love child of Neil Young and Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski...
It was, IMHO, quite well done.

Grammer is a fine actor.
We have the complete Frasier on DVD. Love that show.
