Hey Gang, Geddy here.
I wanted to make a little announcement here about the bromance that just hit theaters; 'I Love You Man'.
This film stars Paul Rudd (who has appeared in films like The 40 Year-Old Virgin and Night at the Museum) and Jason Segel (of 'How I Met Your Mother' fame), both of which are big Rush fans. Only naturally these fine upstanding men wanted us to be in their new movie, and you'll all be happy to hear that we are!
Take a look at what Power Windows had to say about 'I Love You Man'.

I Love You Man co-stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel (Rush fans may remember Segel from his role in the television series Freaks And Geeks, a series which frequently referenced Rush). Both Rudd and Segel are Rush fans, and the film is full of Rush sightings, including a scene which takes place at a Rush concert with a cameo by the band. Additional Rush sightings include the multipe Rush posters adorning Segel's walls as he and Rudd jam to "Tom Sawyer" (with Rudd playing a Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass), Rudd exclaiming at the Rush concert "I haven't seen them live since the Signals tour!", and of course, Rudd and Segel jamming to "Limelight" at the end of the film at the wedding. This performance is included on the I Love You Man Soundtrack, along with the original Rush versions of both "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer". A source close to the band reported was filmed while the band was in L.A. during the second leg of the Snakes & Arrows tour (during the week of May 11th, 200 cool .
"It was a blast, we just played the same song over and over again. It came at a tough time, because we were on tour and that was our day off. It was nice that it was such fun, because we were pretty beat." - Geddy Lee, Entertainment Weekly, March 20, 2009

The film is in theaters now. It's rated R for some strong themes and will not be appropriate for children.
