Many rock bands have appeared on the big screen: KISS rocked in Detroit Rock City and even saved the day in the awesome KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park. Aerosmith actually showed up to Waynestock in Wayne’s World 2 and Tenacious D put aside their pizzas, successfully completed a cock push-up, and power-slided into cinemas in Pick of Destiny. More bands still have been given the rock biopic treatment, like The Doors, Def Leppard, and the Rolling Stones, while others are featured in rockumentaries, like Metallica embarrassing themselves in Some Kind Of Monster, the Sex Pistols swearing their way through The Filth and the Fury, and Anvil in one of the most heartfelt, completing documentaries of all time, Anvil: The Story of Anvil.

But their plenty of big rock stars who make it onto the big screen who aren’t real rock stars at all. Because the world can never get enough of the excesses and legend of rock bands, there are many that have been created just for the cinema.

This weekend sees the release Bandslam, a music comedy about the ultimate battle of the bands. Will any of the fictional bands in Bandslam leave a mark on pop culture?

Earlier today, the French version of what could possibly be the upcoming trailer was leaked online today, but was quickly yanked for copyright infringement. But, Hollywood Crush has the translation of the footage, which includes voiceover narration from star Taylor Lautner.

The yanked trailer also includes the first footage of Dakota Fanning as Volturi vampire Jane, as well as the shirtless Wolf Pack.

A 14-second tease of the upcoming English trailer is now online — watch it here below (and note, another amusing ‘pop-up’ version plays immediately after it; then, right after a quick ad, you can see the previously released teaser trailer).
