Like I said, it’s been a slow day for movie news, give or take Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio perhaps someday maybe if they really feel like it getting together a movie which sounds like it might be okay. Indeed, what appears to be today’s most circulated trailer is for a straight to video film with what everyone agrees is a really terrible title.
Still, it’s not just any straight to video movie with a wonderfully weird cast that includes Rob Corddry, Ellen Barkin, Zach Galifianakis, Emilie de Ravin, Maggie Q, Beth Grant, Bob Oedenkirk, Michael Hitchcock, Ving Rhames, and Jeffrey Tambor. It’s also not just any straight to video movie that has a trailer that makes me laugh as many times as this spy-action-black comedy-thriller does.
A word of warning for those of you at work or near kiddies, this Red Band is no joke. It contains in, the wise words of Pajiba, “a fuckload of swearing.”
And, for those of you who’d prefer a f*ckload of excised curse words instead, here’s the green band trailer via HuffPo, which feels a bit more violent to me for some reason. It’s also a who lot less funny without the curse words, which may be one of the film’s commercial problems.
