Cameron Crowe’s brilliant music industry-themed Almost Famous is getting the 4K makeover treatment in July. Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Day, Mother’s Day ), Billy Crudup (Where’d You Go, Bernadette, TV’s “The Morning Show”), Frances McDormand (Nomadland, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri), Anna Paquin (The Piano, X-Men) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2, Capote) lead the cast, of the iconic film, which is is available for the first time on 4K Ultra HD on July 12 courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Here’s the plot.
Set in 1973, ALMOST FAMOUS chronicles the funny and often poignant coming-of-age of 15-year-old music fanatic William (Patrick Fugit). Having managed to land an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band Stillwater, fronted by lead guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and with the help of gorgeous ‘’band aid’’ Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William finds himself drawn into the band’s inner circle, despite the objections of his over-protective mother (Frances McDormand). As he becomes less an observer and more a participant in the band’s dynamics, William learns a life-changing lesson about the importance of family – the ones we inherit and the ones we create.
