"The Rocker" Update

The trailer for "The Rocker" is finally up on apple trailers, you can check it out here.

My bus, "Gertrude" in the film, is on her way out west for a publicity photo shoot on Monday. I wish I could have gone, but it was sort of short notice. She's in great shape - though she looks beat to hell in her "movie makeup" so it would have been a fun road trip. My friend Mike Rotta is driving her the 1,700 miles from Brownsville Texas to the undisclosed location in CA where the shoot will be. We'll probably store her out west for a while until FOX decides if they'll need her for anything else.

There are a total of thee shots in the trailer where you can see at least pieces of Gertrude:

- The shot where Fish gets whacked by the tree branch from sticking his head out the escape hatch.
- The shot where he's drunk at night standing on top of her.
- The shot looking back at the rear lounge where Josh Gad and the other kid high five (and miss)

A little piece of trivia is that there was a bunch of production staff sitting in the back of the coach while the DP Tony Richmond and a process car photographed the establishing shots of her driving around Cleveland.
