Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal are Academy Award® 2010 nominees for best actor and best actress respectively for CRAZY HEART.           On sale on DVD April 20, 2010.

Four-time Academy Award® nominee JEFF BRIDGES stars as the richly comic, semitragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film CRAZY HEART from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (two-time Golden Globe® nominee MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.                     

In this clip from CRAZY HEART, Jeff Bridges performs as Bad Blake.  Jeff plays and sings his own songs.

CineMovie reviews CRAZY HEART

More on Crazy Heart:

At the age of 57, Bad still lives his life out on the road, playing long-ago #1 hits in third-rate beer joints and bowling alleys to aging crowds as drunk and yearning as he is, while his fleeting fame slides into obscurity. The most he can hope for these days is to open a big concert for his youngprotégé, Tommy Sweet, who learned everything he knows from Bad -- except Tommy, unlike Bad, managed to become rich and famous from it.
One gig blurs into the next until one night in Santa Fe when Bad meets a local journalist Jean Craddock and falls for her harder than usual. Bad promises nothing to Jean and, as a single mom withplenty of regrets, Jean knows she’d be a fool to believe even in that. Still, they continue winding up ineach other’s arms.

But can Bad, who can barely keep his own head above badly troubled waters, really take care of anyone else? His attempt becomes a gritty and witty portrait of a man coming to terms with his own starkly human limitations and a last chance for a sweet drop of redemption.

Fueled by country rock, CRAZY HEART features original songs from Grammy®-winning and Academy Award®-nominated composer and producer T Bone Burnett (WALK THE LINE, O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?) along with the late Texas songwriter Stephen Bruton.

CRAZY HEART is based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Cobb. The producers are Scott Cooper, Robert Duvall, Rob Carliner, Judy Cairo and T Bone Burnett with executive producers Jeff Bridges, Michael A. Simpson, Eric Brenner and Leslie Belzberg. The production team includes director of photography Barry Markowitz, A.S.C, production designer Waldemar Kalinowski, film editor John Axelrad and costume designer Doug Hall.
