Lionsgate has acquired the John Carney-directed musical comedy Power Ballad , starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, for release in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Ireland. Deadline first told you about the 30West package at Cannes; the film was in production in Dublin at the time.
Power Ballad is about a talented wedding singer past his prime (Rudd) and a young rock star (Jonas) who uses the wedding singer's songwriting skills to revive his own career.
