Frank Zappa’s ‘Roxy: The Movie’ Official Trailer Surfaces
By Scott Bernstein Sep 4, 2015 • 5:00 pm PDT

Back on Monday JamBase reported the holy grail of Frank Zappa fandom, Roxy: The Movie, was finally ready for release. Since the post went live no further details emerged making us wonder if the listings we reported on were erroneous. Just a few minutes ago we got the confirmation we were waiting for when a trailer for the concert film appeared on Zappa.com.
Both the audio and video found in the two-minute trailer mark a huge upgrade over material that had been previously shared from FZ’s famed three-night stand at The Roxy in Hollywood, California on December 8 – 10, 1973. While no details accompany the video the artwork featured within matches with the listings we found earlier this week. The trailer ends with the text “COMING SOON.”

Now compare the quality of the just-released trailer above to the Roxy trailer that accompanied the 2003 DVD release of Baby Snakes to see how much love and tender care were put into the restoration of Roxy: The Movie:
If the listings we found hold true Roxy – The Movie will be released on October 30 on both DVD/CD and Blu-Ray via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Don’t be surprised if the 116-minute film gets a theatrical release as well.
