Harold Ramis’ “Year One” has a poster and now it has a brand new trailer (most boring lede ever, sorry).
Here’s the gist of it: When two cavemen (Micheal Cera and Jack Black) are exiled from their tribe in ancient times, they team to make it through the rough terrain of extremely ancient history together.
While this is another big ’09 comedy from the Judd Apatow brand, he’s only serving as a producer, and has no creative input, leaving that to the still-vital Ramis, who also co-wrote with Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (“The Office”). Black and Cera are the leads, and early test screenings have been positive, suggesting this is more of the “Walk Hard” school of genre parody without actual shot-by-shot mockery. Also, David Cross and Paul Rudd play Cain and Abel and it comes out June 19th, 2009.
Are script review should be ready soon, but we have to say, the trailer seems to nail the screenplay’s light and goofy, but funny and enjoyable mood perfectly.
“funny and enjoyable” two words that don’t come to mind after watching this trailer.
it’s light. some ppl will enjoy. I’ll admit while Walk hard is dumb is did provide for some enjoyable laughs. i suspect this will be the same having read the script.
if that’s not your thing, steer clear.
