Watch Trailer for “The Comedian” Where Robert DeNiro Plays a Slightly Less Crazy Comedian Than Rupert Pupkin

November 22, 2016

In 1983, Robert DeNiro took on one of his noted roles as a mentally unstable “comedian” that takes a talk show host hostage in The King of Comedy.

Next year, DeNiro will star as a slightly more (but not too much more) normal comedian in simply titled The Comedian that forces himself to make a comeback after several falls from grace. Also, the one and only Jeff Ross was hired to write actual jokes for DeNiro’s character Jackie that are used throughout the film. Leslie Mann, Danny DeVito, Patti LuPone, and Harvey Keitel make for a pretty dazzling supporting cast as well. 

Watch the trailer here, then look for it in theaters on January 13th.

Sony Pictures Classics Lands Distribution for “The Comedian” Where Robert De Niro Plays an Insult Comedian

Sony Pictures Classics Lands Distribution for “The Comedian” Where Robert De Niro Plays an Insult Comedian

So, he’s just going to be a little less crazy than De Niro’s Rupert Pupkin from The King of Comedy.

Not only is there a lot of buzz on the order of award nominations around this latest De Niro vehicle, The Comedian, but he’ll play an insult comic that has to face his own demons and grow, which definitely has our interest peaked. Hannibal Buress, Gilbert Gottfried and Jim Norton will be featured as fellow stand-ups in the movie and the insults were written by none other than the Roastmaster General himself, Jeff Ross. We haven’t seen a trailer or a TV spot, but it’s kind of hard to not have a bit of a good feeling about The Comedian.

Look for limited release from Sony Pictures Classics at the end of this year/beginning of next year. 

Jeff Ross’ Latest Roast Jokes Will Be Going in The Film “The Comedian” Starring Robert De Niro and Jennifer Aniston

(via Deadline)

We don’t know when the next Comedy Central roast is, so look forward to your next batch of burns from the Roastmaster General in this film.

The Comedian will follow Robert De Niro as a Don Rickles-seque comedian that becomes close with a woman played by Jennifer Aniston. There will be enough sections of actual roasting/stand-up, that the producers have brought on none other than Jeff Ross (which makes us wonder why the lead role isn’t described as a Jeff Ross type of comedian) to write jokes for De Niro to tell.

Not that anyone calls into question the authenticity of roast jokes in a narrative fiction film, but there definitely should be no doubt in this case. Also, they should be pretty damn good jokes.
