Danny McBride Takes Boneheaded Vengeance on the Housing Market Crash in “Arizona” (Trailer)

August 14, 2018

Almost without question, Danny McBride has made America fall in love with his spot on portrayals of misguided rage. Watching such a thing with the backdrop of the current moment is even more perfect pairing than when Foot Fist Way was whispered about between Adam McKay and Will Ferrell.

Arizona, a feature film debut for director Jonathan Watson and writer Luke Del Tredici (producer on 30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Bored to Death), follows McBride as a victim of the Subprime Mortgage Crisis/House Market Crash from almost a decade ago who opts to get revenge.

If The Big Short had a cinematic universe, this would likely be a story within it.

The trailer promises some dark fun and you can see all of it for yourself here.

Arizona hits theaters later this month on Aug. 24th.

(via Deadline)

Will Ferrell will to attempt to play several positions at several different Major League Baseball spring training fields in Arizona over the course of one day. The result will be a HBO special that Funny or Die and the MLB have partnered for in dedication to organizations fighting against cancer.

#FerrellTakesTheField will be the hashtag to follow how Ferrell will pull off doing this, which we’re guessing he will do in a similar fashion to the time he beat Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith in a drum off.

Ferrell will probably have the record for most stunts in support of charity very soon.
