Ethan Hawke is a washed-up rock star in the trailer for the forthcoming dramedy "Juliet, Naked."

An adaptation of the 2009 British novel by "About a Boy" and "High Fidelity" author Nick Hornby, the film also stars "Bridesmaids" alums Rose Byrne and Chris O'Dowd.

Here, Hawke plays a once-famous '90s alternative-rock musician named Tucker Crowe. After he develops an online relationship with a tell-it-like-it-is English woman (Byrne), Tucker is surprised to learn that she is not only stuck in a long-term relationship, but also her boyfriend (O'Dowd) is the biggest Tucker Crowe fan in the world.

Directed by "Our Idiot Brother" helmer Jesse Peretz, who recently directed episodes of "GLOW," "Orange Is the New Black," and "Girls," the film will be released in select U.S. theaters on August 17th.

synopsis:
Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O'Dowd) -- an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker's hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself. Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked is a comic account of life's second chances.
