Ex-primus Rocker Launches Film Career With National Lampoon

Former Primus frontman LES CLAYPOOL's moviemaking ambitions have been given a huge boost - his new film comedy has been bought by the National Lampoon company. Claypool will make his directorial debut with Electric Apricot - a film about a jam band's efforts to perform at a fictitious rock festival, modelled on the Lollapalooza shows. The project marks the first time National Lampoon - famous for films like Animal House and Vacation - has bought a feature film.
