Rudd & Jonas: Song Theft Sparks Feud
11 Mar
Summary
- Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas star in a film about music collaboration.
- A song is potentially stolen after a jam session at a wedding.
- The film premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival.

Filmmaker John Carney, known for his music-centric films like "Once" and "Sing Street," presents "Power Ballad." This new feature explores a darker side to musical collaboration.
The story centers on Rick, played by Paul Rudd, and Danny, portrayed by Nick Jonas. The two musicians meet at a wedding and share a memorable jam session, fostering a sense of camaraderie.
However, the relationship sours when Danny, a former boy band star, releases a hit song that sounds remarkably similar to one he and Rick created. This raises questions about artistic ownership and betrayal.
"Power Ballad" also features Jack Reynor and premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival earlier this month. Lionsgate is set to release the film in theaters on Friday, June 5.
