Bill Murray is starring in this year's 'Rock The Kasbah', a dramedy about a washed up rock manager dragging his last remaining client (played by Zooey Deschanel) around Afghanistan, with many hilarious consequences. 

Disaster strikes when Deschanel wises up and ditches him, leaving him lost, penniless, but on track to discover a young girl with an amazing voice to take on instead as his last hope of striking gold as her manager.

Weinstein Company has just released the film's official trailer, which sees Bill Murray wandering around the Middle East, running into all kinds of trouble. What's not to like about Bill Murray in a music themed movie playing a tour manager?

You can watch the trailer for 'Rock The Kasbah' below:

The film, directed by Barry Levison (Good Morning, Liberty Heights), also stars Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, Scott Caan, Bruce Willis and Leem Lubany. 

"We were blown away by the script for 'Rock the Kasbah,'" says Tom Ortenberg of Open Road Films, "We are looking forward to working with legendary filmmaker Barry Levinson and this incredible ensemble cast led by the one and only Bill Murray."

The film's recieved some great praise and looks like it could be hilarious, however we will have to wait until October 23 to find out when it officially hits the cinemas.
