Rick Astley Writing Movie Musical

guardian.co.uk — Rick Astley's career revival may be based on people being tricked into seeing him, but the 80s pop star is now counting on fans buying actual tickets. Not only is Astley again headlining the Here and Now nostalgia tour, but the man who promised to never give you up, let you down, run around and desert you ... is writing a movie musical.

  • inactive, on 02/02/2009, -0/+11No way did anyone see that one coming.
  • diggdiggerid, on 02/02/2009, -0/+10calm down buddy, no one likes angry people :) from your post history it seems like you are a very angry person.
  • Quake050, on 02/02/2009, -0/+9Why, you think Rick Astley is going to let you down...?
  • okgaz, on 02/02/2009, -0/+9But it's gonna make us cry.
  • gnotDigger, on 02/02/2009, -0/+9I wouldn't get this from any other guy
  • foltaggio, on 02/02/2009, -1/+9He's never gonna run around and desert it.
  • inigomntoya, on 02/02/2009, -0/+8Will someone tell him this was just a big misunderstanding?
  • AlanFang, on 02/02/2009, -1/+8FTA "New York Cowboy will tell the story of a small-town boy who moves to New York City in the 80s"

    Sounds more like a Journey song than Rick Astley.
  • TyrannousDotNet, on 02/02/2009, -0/+6I do NOT want a link for a trailer
  • gumballer, on 02/02/2009, -0/+6I love that song and I love it when amateurs sing the lyrics but I hate baseball cards.
  • berroci, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5I know we're all going to cry Rick Roll just because a video link got posted (I'm looking at you, AnonymousD), but really, the trailer does look very promising. Any musical that includes the Continental club on St. Mark's has my vote.
  • jaychuck, on 02/03/2009, -0/+5wikipedia
  • inactive, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5what?
  • milkmit, on 02/02/2009, -2/+7ok, this is getting a little out of hand now...

  • phoenixp3k, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5Good times... good times: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/HD_D ...
  • DarkerMaster, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4GO RICK GO!
  • boothash, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4Now look what you 4chan'ers did - we actually have to see this guy around.
  • hotsoda, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4I realized what it was mid-click. Damn you.

    Still, well played sir.
  • tisk, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4See what you guys did?
  • Phoetality, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4Saw that coming a mile off.
  • CrushThemTorg, on 02/02/2009, -0/+414:59
  • okgaz, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3You spelt "boner" wrong.
  • vpotok, on 02/02/2009, -1/+4anyone else tired of Rick Rolling? it got old a while ago for me.
  • Cruelapollo, on 02/02/2009, -1/+4I did the same, but also clicked the URL in the video description.
  • Nostromo13, on 02/02/2009, -0/+3This is about as strange as Elton John writing the music to the new karate kid film
    http://yeahboss.com/2009/02/01/elton-john-pens-kar ...
  • Goose31, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3Adam West?
  • WafflePirate, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3Thanks a lot 4chan, you bastards. Look what you've done. You've convinced Rick Astley that people actually like him and his music.
  • zadadka, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3It's in the Comments below the video........
  • fackjoley, on 02/02/2009, -1/+4I'm never gonna give up hope... that Rick Astley comes to my town.
  • godofallcows, on 02/03/2009, -0/+3Damnit.
  • BBarash, on 02/02/2009, -0/+3Note to self - never trust tinyurls haha.

    Good job.
  • godofallcows, on 02/03/2009, -0/+2Explain please, I do not remember this...
  • spookyttws, on 02/02/2009, -1/+3I half expected the link to be a RickRoll.
  • gijoeler, on 02/02/2009, -0/+2Make it stop.
  • bobsocool, on 02/03/2009, -0/+2Well 6 movies are coming out that day u think they will all be a 2 hour long rickroll?
  • fcrow, on 02/03/2009, -0/+2You know that if you turn that into binary and then back into characters it says "We know the game" without quotes of course.
  • okgaz, on 02/03/2009, -0/+2no, never.
  • diggduggDOOM, on 02/02/2009, -1/+3Clearly, too many people still don't get internet culture. This makes as much sense as having Chuck Norris promote your presidential primary campaign.
  • dougbarrett, on 02/02/2009, -4/+6Rick Astely isn't popular. Rick's songs aren't popular. The Rick Roll is popular. If it is a musical about different scenarios of people getting Rick Rolled then it will be a hit, but if it isn't then it'll sink.
  • crimsonkage, on 02/03/2009, -0/+1Set Rick Astley up for a delicious failure that can potentially generate many new memes?
