Guitar Hero Live Trailer Stars James Franco and Lenny Kravitz

The return of “Guitar Hero” is on the horizon, and to celebrate the anticipation, Activision released a live-action trailer starring James Franco and Lenny Kravitz.

Directed by Jonathan Krisel (“SNL”), the comical actor and rock legend go head-to-head to see who can win the crowd over and become the king of the music festival circuit. The song featured is one of Kravitz’ hits: “Are You Gonna Go My Way” — which will be playable in the game.

“‘Guitar Hero Live’ gives you the chance to live out your rock star fantasy in front of a real audience that reacts to how you play, so watching James Franco and Lenny Kravitz challenging each other to win the crowd in the game brought that excitement to life in a really cool way,” CMO of Activision Tim Ellis said. “Some of the best moments captured on film were purely spontaneous between James and Lenny. They had great chemistry and had a lot of fun with the game. We just let them loose.”

Check out the trailer below:

“Guitar Hero Live” launches Oct. 20 in North America and Oct. 23 in Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U and iOS devices.
