Shot under Borat-like conditions in which Stephen Dorff (wearing enough prosthetics to keep from being recognized) sold himself to Nashville residents as an unknown singer-songwriter, Ryan Ross' Wheeler is best viewed as a water-testing exercise: Should Dorff, who has seen considerable bumps in the road as an actor, embark on a second career as a country songwriter? Maybe so, judging from this peculiar film, whose dramatic elements are less plausible than the radio-ready tunes they put forward. The Cmt crowd may take to it on video, especially if Dorff manages to spin this fiction into real-world success.

Everyone loves a good underdog story. When it comes to movies, the underdog stories tend to be about sports, either a ragtag team taking down the favored giant or a person whom everyone else told was no good finally proving themselves. But there's another arena that serves the underdog incredibly well: music. And while we're all familiar with stories about singers rising from obscurity to become famous, none of us have seen one quite like Wheeler. Starring and co-written by Stephen Dorff, Wheeler is about a good 'ole boy musician from a tiny town in Texas who sets his sights on singing with the country music greats in Nashville. The twist, however, is that the movie is a mix of documentary and fiction. Thanks to carefully considered makeup...

The new docudrama “Wheeler” follows an aspiring musician from Kaufman, Texas who travels to Nashville with dreams of becoming an outlaw country music star. Here’s the catch: Wheeler isn’t a real person, but rather actor Stephen Dorff under heavy prosthetic make up who successfully infiltrated the Music City to embark on the authentic singer-songwriter journey. In the film, the Wheeler character converses with real people in real locations and performs every musical number live, eventually interacting with real musicians like Travis Meadows, Audrey Spillman and the legendary Kris Kristofferson, Wheeler’s hero. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

"It all begins with a song..." Momentum Pictures has unveiled a full trailer for a film titled Wheeler, a faux-documentary about an aspiring country music singer from Texas who heads to Nashville to make his dream come true. Actor Stephen Dorff plays Wheeler, underneath lots of make-up and a heavy country western accent, and no one knew it was him when he was making the film. As explained by Rolling Stone: "only a handful of the cast knew that it was Dorff underneath the makeup, and fans at the Bluebird Café, where he performed, were also unaware." Nice work pulling that off. I can't tell if this film is making fun of country music, or just having fun creating a fake musician, but it actually looks like it's worth checking out. Here's the first official trailer for Ryan Ross' Wheeler, from YouTube (originally via Rolling Stone): Wheeler is an aspiring musician from Kaufman,...
