See Frasier star Kelsey Grammer as you’ve never seen him before in the first trailer for the comedy/dramaThe Space Between. Sporting long, shaggy hair and an unkempt beard, the actor takes a copious amount of questionable substances and waxes philosophical about life and love as ageing rock star Micky Adams in this inspiring new coming-of-age movie from Paramount.
Paramount’sThe Space Betweenstars Golden Globe WinnerKelsey Grammerand picks up during the iconic 90s LA music scene. Micky Adams (Grammer), an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality all while his record label is looking to drop him and his newly created “unique” albums. In hopes of breaking out of the record-label mailroom, a young Charlie Porter (Jackson White) is tasked with traveling to the musician’s bizarre home and forcing Micky Adams out of his contract.
As shown in the trailer, things do not go as planned, with Micky drugging Charlie with apsychedelic substance, convinced that the kid is the key to his long-awaited artistic breakthrough, and an unlikely friendship between the two emerges. The odd but powerful bond helps both gain perspective from each other on the music industry, life, love…and the space between.
