Rick Power, a former rocker living in Ireland, plays wedding cover gigs with a montage of familiar songs. A famous pop singer, Danny Wilson, joins the band at a wedding and later invites Rick for a late-night jam. Rick performs one of his original songs, but Danny releases it months later without credit. Rick cannot prove he wrote the song first, and the lack of recognition drives him increasingly mad as the track becomes a worldwide sensation. The story also connects to a Michael Myers timeline quirk, where a later Halloween reboot only acknowledges the first two films, ending the earlier continuity that included Rick’s character defeating Michael Myers.
"Rudd plays Rick Power, a Kansas City native (as is Rudd) and former rocker who lives in Ireland with his wife and daughter and spends his time playing in a wedding cover band. ( This is a John Carney movie, so of course we get a rocking montage of perennial wedding song staples sung by a gleeful Rudd.)"
"Famous pop singer Danny Wilson (Nick Jonas) is a guest at one of these weddings, and he eventually joins the band onstage and later invites Rick back to his room for a late night jam session. Rick plays Danny one of his original songs, which, unfortunately for Rick, becomes a massive hit for Danny a few months later (with no attribution for Rick). Also unfortunate for Rick? He can't find any proof that he recorded the song before Danny did."
"There's a weird quirk in the "Halloween" movie franchise where, after the sixth installment, "The Curse of Michael Myers," which stars Rudd, the series reboots with "Halloween H2O," which only recognizes the first two "Halloween" movies as part of its universe. Which means in "The Curse of Michael Myers," Rudd's Tommy Doyle defeats Michael Myers ... and that's it. That's the end of that particular timeline."
