 Loosely
inspired by the true story of the heavy metal band Judas Priest,
this music industry fable from director Stephen Herek is based
on a script by actor-turned-writer/director John Stockwell.
Mark Wahlberg stars as Chris Cole, a wannabe rock star who
works by day as a copy machine repairman and by night as the
lead singer of Blood Pollution, a Pennsylvania tribute band
that imitates the best-selling heavy metal rockers of Steel
Dragon. Although he's supported by his girlfriend Emily (Jennifer
Aniston), Chris is devastated when his friends kick him out
of the band he founded. His humiliation doesn't last long,
however, as Chris soon learns that he's been tapped to replace
the lead singer of Steel Dragon, literally becoming a rock
star overnight. Chris soon has everything he's ever wanted
but is disappointed to discover that being a superstar isn't
everything it's cracked up to be. Rock Star was produced under
two other titles, "Metal God" and "So You Want to Be a Rock
Star." � Karl Williams AMG
