Natalie Portman is in the thick of the Oscar race for Black Swan, and so is James Franco for 127 Hours. Now, see them in the Universal Pictures redband trailer for the period stoner comedy Your Highness from director David Gordon Green. The comedy hits theaters April 8, 2011.
Loading ... Loading ...
Funny. Hey Comedy Central time for season 2 of Krod Mandoon?
Yes, now this is what I’m talking about.
Ugh. McBride lost me with his “accent.”
Doesn’t look like a movie to me, looks like a bunch of stoners who can’t believe a studio gave them money to say dirty words. We said “buttfuck.” Tee hee…
Made me laugh.
If Portman or Franco win their Oscar then the movie gets released, expect the additional joy of having Eddie Murphy pissed because he was promoting “Norbit” during his own Oscar campaign, which didn’t pay off.
prince of persia may have been funnier. oh wait…
anyone else remember when david gordon green used to direct good movies?
I don’t — but I remember when he used to make 2 million dollar student films shamelessly aping Terrence Malick. Certain critics like them but no one saw them. Apparently his goal all along was to make hard R stoner comedies, though…
Methinks there cometh a massive hit.
(Pun intended.)
Looks like s cross between ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS, BLACK KNIGHT and A KNIGHT’S TALE. And that’s not a compliment.
The trailer made me chuckle, that doesn’t happen often. It’ll be a win.
HW, pets and Norma Desmond should all go suck on a lemon
I totally agree. This movie looks like a winner.
You people should stop taking yourselves so seriously. This was hilarious! Go Jon Mone!
This is a bomb. I promise.
Bomb my ass. This is what the doctor’s ordered.
[insert name of recent project with even marginally similar premise]
[insert snarky comment on director, producer, studio, and/or star]
[insert jaded prediction of failure]
[insert final, concluding bodily exclamation to demonstrate own omniscient, cutting, and above-the-fray industry status - ie, 'ugh', 'yawn', or 'puke']
annnnnnnnnnnd submit
like it writes itself…
Dude, making comments (yes, often snarky) comparing these “hot trailers” with trailers of recent similar films and commenting on directors’ and actors’ career trajectories and predicting a film’s success/failure is THE ENTIRE POINT of this site — especially the “hot trailers” posts.
If that’s not your bag, go back to perusing the academic film journal message boards and feel good about staying above the snark fray.
Universal really is a mess. This is terrible. Great job Stuber, looks like another bomb for you.
Nope.
I can’t believe people think this will bomb. Do you have any idea how starved for silly non-relationship comedy young people are?
The Dilemma, Just Go WIth it, No Strings, Hall Pass? You think a 17 year old wants to see those, or “Magic…. MOTHERFUCKER!!”
Definite hit. Refreshing, exciting, crude, funny. All you miserable individuals who love to come on here and pronounce things disasters because it lightens your otherwise empty day, add another one to the pile. Then see you back here on this movie’s huge first weekend, idiots.
I have worked extensively withDavid Gordon Green…….he SUCKS…..remember “Observe and Report”? And the only movie that Danny McBride has any real part in was “Land of the Lost” which bombed…..seriously, the dumb redneck persona can only go so far. Both will be irrelavent in 5 years.
To Ugh:
Hmm…Where to start?
– David Gordon Green did what exactly on “Observe and Report”? He certainly didn’t direct, write or produce it. Since you’ve “worked extensively” with him, can you please tell us what he did on that movie?
- Other movies where Danny McBride has a real part:
1) “Pineapple Express” — He was one of three people on the poster. Movie was a hit.
2) “Tropic Thunder” — “Real” enough part to get his name on the poster. Movie was a hit.
3) “Foot Fist Way” — Played the LEAD. Not a hit but got him noticed in the comedy circle.
Hollywood career and hit HBO show ensue.
I eagerly await your clarification.
To: Ugh You SUCK. What have you ever done? You are clearly a miserable ASSH*LE. You are irrelevant NOW…probably always have been and certainly always will be. I doubt you have worked extensively with Green or any of those guys. Speak up. Let’s hear about this extensive work with him. Explain yourself. You are a loser and clearly a nothing wishing you were something. Get a life.
Yeah, you got this two days after I first saw it on the internet… SLOW SLOW SLOW with the redband trailer. But on the same note, I’ll never get tired of seeing Natalie Portman in a thong… Huzzah!
AYFKM?!? … as in “Are You Fucking Kidding Me?” Guess it just goes to show you that even Hollywood heavyweights can be blackmailed. I can only image what someone must have on Franco & Portman to get them into this!
This will be a WINNER of a movie. It looks hilarious. Gotta love all the pathetic and sad misery spread by haters who have nothing better to do than crap of the success of others. I will be back here with Mike and see you complaining when this movie opens BIG. Can’t wait to see it.
Wow. Stoner comedy? Where is the weed? Where is the funny? This reminds me of Army of Darkness without any of the good parts.
Can you guess which is my favorite part of this trailer?
Amidala reborn!
I cannot wait for this. This is going to be a huge hit, somewhere between Tropic Thunder and Superbad, imo.
obviously all the positive comments come from people working for or on the movie. this is the worst, least funny and most likely to tank trailer i have seen in decades. ok the trailer might not tank, but the movie sure will. too much money to spend on a joke so often (and better) told. tragic.
Universal hasn’t really had much luck with big-budget, self-indulgent genre comedies.
