Trailer: Andy Serkis Plays Ian Dury in ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’ Biopic

Ian DuryAndy Serkis, aka Gollum, scored one of his most anticipated post-LOTR roles recently as iconic British punk singer Ian Dury, and now the Playlist has unearthed the Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll trailer from the YouTube masses.

According to Billboard’s piece on the film, Serkis comes through with a performance that features his own vocal chops (alongside the Blockheads) and an allegedly convincing rendition of a “surrealist path to relating the rocker’s journey from polio-stricken kid to top-of-the-charts entertainer.”

I watched the trailer twice so far, and it does look to be an entertaining film, albeit a bit too jumpy between styles. Of course that’s what all trailers are like perhaps. Watch Serkis, Naomie Harris (28 Days Later), and Ray Winstone FTW below:
