Inside Judd Apatow's Music Spoof "Walk Hard"

Self-destructive rock star geniuses may have to start wrecking their lives in new ways if they want their eventual biopics to be taken seriously.

Producer Judd Apatow, the man behind Superbad, Knocked Up and The 40 Year-Old Virgin, is about to turn all those Behind the Music-style rise-and-fall conventions into laughingstock with the comedy Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Walk Hard stars John C. Reilly as Cox, a fictional early rock 'n' roller who suffers a family tragedy as a child, discovers the power of music, creates songs that cause a national sensation, falls in love and then collapses into drug abuse, self-pity and madness before rising phoenixlike in the final reel.
