1970s rocker Danny Collins (Al Pacino) has earned a reputation for himself as a sell-out. He hasn't written a song for years, and his family has been left behind while he embarks upon the life of a true rock star. But when his manager reveals a previously lost handwritten letter from John Lennon, instructing Collins to remember who he is and not lose himself. Wondering what could have happened if he had actually received the letter 40-years-ago, Collins embarks on a journey to rediscover his family and find out just what made him famous in the first place.
Inspired by a true story, 'Danny Collins' is a comedy drama written and directed by Dan Fogelman ('Cars', 'Crazy, Stupid Love'). Production began in 2010 with Steve Carell attached to the role of Danny Collins. He dropped out of the production, however, and Al Pacino took over in the lead role. Principle photography began in July 2013, with a scene of Collins in concert was filmed containing the band Chicago, with most of the movie shot in and around Los Angeles. The movie is set to be released in the US on 20th March, 2015.
