Åkerlund’s “Spun” to premiere at CineVegas
LAS VEGAS - The world premiere of Spun will take place on June 8th at the Palms Hotel and Casino during the CineVegas International Film Festival. Spun is directed by Jonas Akerlund and will feature a new recording of "Stupid" by Roxette.
The story revolves around an unemployed man and methamphetamine user, who during a visit to his drug dealer, gets caught up with the drug's maker, who proceeds to take him on a three-day adventure.
The movie stars Patrick Fugit, Jason Schwartzman,
John Leguizamo, Mickey Rourke, Mena Suvari, Swedish actor Peter Stormare, Brittany Murphy, Deborah Harry, and Eric Roberts.
Unlike "Pretty Woman," which also featured a Roxette song, this film is not backed by a major film studio and is more of an "independent"-type release. It will, however, be distributed internationally.
Per and Marie, who are both good friends with Jonas, will not be attending the premiere. The Roxette version of "Stupid" (previously recorded by just Per) is not expected to be released as a single.
Technical errors may occur.
