WE INTERRUPT THIS SUMMER'S PICK-FIVE FOR SOME "UNLEASHED SPIRITS - THE RISE OF THE HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES" (2025 TRAILER) (tonight's dispatch from the 86th floor)


Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry from Aerosmith make up the supergroup known as the Hollywood Vampires. For those that may be in the unknow - the band was formed by Alice in 2012 and to date has released two albums, one covers and one of mostly original material. They've played in front of 100,000 people in Rio, toured North America, played to sell-out audiences and received critical acclaim. 

That would be an impressive list of achievements in any bands CV. It would certainly contain even greater successes if it weren't for the fact these three legends never have the time to get together. Alice has to be booked a year in advance, Depp is almost completely unavailable and Perry of course has his musical projects. 

All these events have been documented now in the upcoming "Unleased Spirits - The Rise Of The Hollywood Vampires" and a generous and very appetizing five-minute trailer has been released. Perry  just recently saw a rough cut and says it's starting to come together nicely. No release date has been set. 

ALSO> Calling your attention to 3 great ones that just came back to Tubi for July.
