Imogen Poots, Keisha Castle-Hughes to star in 'Roadies' Showtime comedy pilot

NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Luke Wilson and Imogen Poots are to star in Cameron Crowe's one-hour comedy pilot Roadies, Showtime announced Monday.

Featuring Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rafe Spall and Peter Cambor, the show "follows the day-to-day life of a successful rock tour as seen through the eyes of music's unsung heroes -- the crew members who get the show on the road," Showtime said.

"Luke Wilson will play road-weary, sleep-deprived tour manager Bill, who is five years sober, and the best friend a band could have on the road," the cable network said in press notes. "Imogen Poots is Kelly Ann, a first-rate electrical tech with a great heart, questionable people skills, and a desire to make her mark on the world. Keisha Castle-Hughes will portray the band's outspoken and passionate sound mixer Donna Mancini, who every day leads her road family in their favorite ritual, 'The Song of the Day.' Rafe Spall will play Reg Whitehead, a wildly successful British financial advisor sent by management to oversee the crew's budget, though he knows less than zero about the music business. Peter Cambor is Milo, an offbeat American anglophile guitar tech, not big on personal hygiene, who revels in his road-worthy, slightly skuzzy charm."

This just in: Luke Wilson, Imogen Poots, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rafe Spall & @petercambor join #Showtime one-hour comedy pilot #Roadies!
