‘Power Ballad' is coming to cinemas in May and a new trailer has arrived for the musical drama.
Directed by John Carney, and written by John Carney & Peter McDonald, the film stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu, and Jack Reynor. Watch the trailer at the top of this article.
When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves – even if it means risking everything he cares about.
From writer-director John Carney (‘Sing Street', ‘Once'), ‘Power Ballad' is a feelgood story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition. Lionsgate presents, in association with 30WEST + Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland, a Likely Story / Distressed Films production, in association with Treasure Entertainment.
The film is produced by Anthony Bregman, John Carney, Peter Cron, Rebecca O’Flanagan and Robert Walpole.
‘Power Ballad' is released in cinemas on 29th May 2026.
