The upcoming Rock the Kasbah from Barry Levinson and Mitch Glazer starring Bill Murray has just released what is probably its best trailer yet.
Bill Murray is in full Bill Murray form as a desperate tour manager stuck in Afghanistan as you can clearly see here.
Look for Rock the Kasbah in theaters on Fri. Oct. 23rd.
T.J. Miller, Mila Kunis, Bob Odenkirk, Susan Sarandon, Rob Riggle, Danny McBride, and Nick Swardson voice the characters for this stop motion animation romp through the underworld, Hell and Back, where two friends try to rescue their friend from the mistaken clutches of hell.
The writing and directing includes three Robot Chicken alums, Ross Shuman, Hugh Sterbakov, and Zeb Wells as well as Tom Gianas who has written on and directed anything from SNL, Mr. Show, Drunk History, Human Giant.
An R-rated stop motion animated comedy already peaked our interest, but this red band trailer should make Hell and Back all the more intriguing to you when it premieres Oct. 9th.

They’ve teamed up for Foot Fist Way, Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, and now, this.
Jody Hill and Danny McBride, the minds and talent behind the man myth that is Kenny Powers are collaborating yet again on a new feature project along with Josh Brolin attached and Scott Rudin producing. Other than those details and that Hill is directing and co-wrote the script with McBride and frequent collaborator John Carcieri, we only know that this project will be called Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter.
Our guess would be that it might be in the realm of Talladega Nights and Eastbound, but focusing on McBride as a hilariously foul-mouthed bad-ass hunter trying to cement his hunting legacy.
Hopefully, we’ll find out the exact details soon.
More intriguing than a heist that involves stealing $17 million is the fact that Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig will be goofing around in the movie that’s based around the true life story of said heist.
The trailer for Masterminds shows Galifianakis and Wiig as robbers that are, perhaps, in over their heads, but almost delightfully so.
Fans of 2001′s Bandits might dig this a lot, but we have a feeling that this will be a big Summer comedy hit with direction from Jared Hess and writing from a team including Jody Hill and Danny McBride..
Last year, we caught wind of what might be a “Hawaii rocket launch rom com” in Cameron Crowe’s latest film, which was called Deep Tiki at the time.
Since then, the movie’s title has changed to Aloha and the first trailer has arrived. Where it will end up the Cameron Crowe spectrum of romantic comedies from Say Anything to Almost Famous to Elizabethtown has yet to be seen. The love triangle between Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, and Rachel McAdams seems to lean more in tone towards Elizabethtown, but the presences of Danny McBride, Alec Baldwin, and Bill Murray lean more towards Say Anything.
Either way, we’re intrigued to see another trailer as well as the movie itself.
Taking from 1964’s The Incredible Mr. Limpet that had Don Knotts turn into a fish and help hunt Nazi U-boats, director Richard Linklater is going for a remake and lining up a pretty great cast. Zach Galifianakis is attached to play Mr. Limpet, the role Knotts played, and there are no Nazis in this one.
However, Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Danny McBride, Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Jordan Peele, and Keegan-Michael Key are all in talks to join the cast. With Linklater at the helm and this cast, this might be one of the more fascinating, possibly great remakes in a long time.
Danny McBride and Jody Hill Return to HBO’s Series Order of “Vice Principals”
There’s no more need to lament the absence of Danny McBride in your life because the series finale of Eastbound and Down has passed us.
HBO has just ordered 18 episodes of Vice Principals from McBride and Hill, which is their take on being the VP in high school. Given how great Kenny Powers was as a gym teacher, we’re excited to see what they do with a vice principal character.
Open Road Acquires Barry Levinson’s All-Star Comedy ‘Rock the Kasbah’
Cameron Crowe’s Romantic Comedy To Have Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and More
By now, ensemble cast romantic comedies should be a little bit of a red flag, but with Cameron Crowe attached as well as rounding a cast of Jay Baruchel, Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, and Danny McBride should make for something noteworthy.
Danny McBride and Jody Hill Are Developing Comedy for HBO
Without Eastbound & Down having aired it’s final episode, Danny McBride is setting himself up quite nicely after series wraps.
Chozen on FXx got the greenlight and now this new project at Showtime is in development with long time collaborator Jody Hill (they first did the Foot Fist Way together), so McBride is well on his way to being more of a badass than Kenny Powers.
FXx Makes First Series Order with Danny McBride’s Animated ‘Chozen’
The process of programming an entire comedy channel at FX’s comedy spin-off channel, FXx, has begun.
Just as it has been confirmed (as was suspected) that Eastbound & Down’s latest season will be its last, Danny McBride is already set for his next project, an animated comedy at FXx called ‘Chozen’.
