Akerman joins the previously announced Alan Rickman as Hilly
Kristal, a man who, for more than three decades, owned and operated the
establishment until a rent dispute forced the club to close in 2006. The real-life
Kristal tragically died the following year. Rickman's fellow Harry Potter star
Rupert Grint is also attached to the project, playing Dead Boys guitarist
Cheetah Chrome.
Akerman can next been seen in the similarly music-themed
Rock of Ages, hitting theaters on June 15th.
Miller will direct with a script written by himself and Jody
Savin. The current plan is to begin production next month.
