The Drummer is the story of this inimitably talented but perennially disparaged man, the only true surfer of The Beach Boys and one of the truly original voices in Rock & Roll history. Intimate and personal, the story tracks the last six years of Beach Boys drummer's life, the younger brother to front man Brian, as he evolves into a creative force. Dennis Wilson digs his way out from under the shadow of his tyrannical father, corrals the demons and harnesses the will to tap his own artistry in order to create the critically applauded Pacific Ocean Blue. The film starts in the midst of The Beach Boys' fame and follows Dennis' journey, replete with decadence, drugs, love and tragedy. Despite Dennis' fall into drugs and alcohol, ultimately it is his music and his uniquely magnanimous spirit that endures.

Aaron Eckhart as Dennis Wilson

Yay, thanks for starting this thread! If you decide to start a list, add me to it. I'm so psyched that he's going to be in a movie with my other fave, Chloë.

Sternbetrachter

isn't it a bit soon for a list (you mean supporting-list, don't you?)?
but sure, we do need to pimp up the OP after all

heart devoured

I used to thought so too, but now I'm so used to it that there's a fan list before anyone's even seen the movie in question.

Sternbetrachter

so far, I only noticed supporting lists for characters and/or couples ... not that I ever really look for the lists

heart devoured

Most of the boards I go to have only the character appreciation threads for the movies. I mean, the character appreciations are like the general movie threads. At least on celebs' boards. Unlike here. To be honest, I prefer the way we do it here.

Sternbetrachter

you mean it and don't just say it?

heart devoured

No, I mean it! This way is more normal and logical and simpler. But I'm used to the way threads are mostly done on other boards I go to.

Sternbetrachter

well, we can still add threads for Rupert's character if we really really really love it

heart devoured

Okay I don't think that's necessary for just a single movie. More understandable with HP and Ron.

This might be an interesting film and we will hear Rupert's American accent.

Sternbetrachter

he probably will also have one in CBGB, won't he?

Corrsfanre

Thanks for the new thread Trude!

Sternbetrachter

no problem

Monique19

Probably. Nice to see him doing different accents.
