Proving more and more to be a more grounded version of NBC’s Chuck, Jesse Eisenberg shows off more of slacker/sleeper agent skills as well as balancing being Kristen Stewart’s beau in the new trailer for American Ultra from Nima Nourizadeh and Max Landis.
In a way, it should give you a little more faith in him playing Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman.
Watch the trailer here, then look for American Ultra in theaters Aug. 21st.
Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart star in what might be a better feature length version of the premise to NBC’s Chuck in the upcoming stoner action comedy, American Ultra.
Watch Eisenberg recall the part where he stops running in Zombieland (along with the font from Zombieland) and takes on various covert operatives as a deep secret covert operative himself while also trying to come down from being high.
As far as stoner/slacker action comedy goes, it seems slightly more grounded and realistic than Chuck or even Pineapple Express. Yet, it still enjoys the fun of some of the most unrealistic bullet physics since Wanted. Connie Britton and Topher Grace also seem like they’ll make memorable cameos as comedic versions of David Strathairn and Joan Allen in The Bourne Ultimatum.
See all of this for yourself in this red band trailer.
