See latest videos, charts and news The film, due out on June 5, tells the story of “past-his-prime” wedding singer Rick (Judd) who meets “fading boy-band star” Danny (Jonas), with the two men bonding in a late-night jam session over their passion for music. “But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that ignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves… even if it means risking everything he cares about,” according to a description of the script co-written by Carney and Peter McDonald.

Jonas is currently on the road with his brothers as part of the JoBros’ JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour, which hits the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday night (Oct. 29). It’s been a busy year for Nick, with the multi-hyphenate wrapping his run in the Broadway play The Last Five Years in late June after appearing in director Nicholas Stoller’s romantic comedy You’re Cordially Invited alongside stars Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon. Earlier this year, it was rumored that Jonas was in the lead to portray KISS frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic, Shout It Out Loud. The role in the McG-directed movie would reportedly see Jonas doing his own singing in the film that is slated to go into production in late 2025.
