Just a few weeks ago, Sir Christopher Campbell of Cinematical pointed you towards a new trailer for Will Ferrell's latest comedy. But if you were wondering if Semi-Pro was going to be the soft & cuddly Will Ferrell or the bizarrely potty-mouthed Will Ferrell, you now have your answer. Suffice to say that when it arrives in late February, Semi-Pro will most definitely be rated R.If you're willing to share your full name, birthday and zip code, then you'll be allowed to enjoy this brand-new (and highly "red-band") trailer in which lots of funny people say lots of very profane things. And it's good news, says me. Despite the fact that Mr. Ferrell has appeared in more sports movies than Kevin Costner, the flick I was reminded of while watching this trailer was George Roy Hill's Slap Shot. And obviously that's a good thing.
Directed by first-timer Kent Alterman and written by frequent Todd Phillips collaborator Scot Armstrong (Road Trip, Old School, Starsky & Hutch), Semi-Pro has a comedic ensemble that's definitely worth sharing: Woody Harrelson (back doing the silly stuff!), Will Arnett (a brilliantly funny guy still looking for a good movie), Maura Tierney (funny and sexy!), Andy Richter, Andre Benjamin, Tim Meadows, David Koechner, Rob Corddry ... Jackie Earle Haley?
OK, aside from the final gag about the gun, I haven't been this psyched for a Will Ferrell flick in a long time.

Just a small complaint here, but would it be possible to get direct links to the trailers in question? I have to open up like 4 tabs in Mozilla every time you guys link a trailer because all the links lead to another Cinematical post.

You click the "read" link and it takes you to it. If you just want the info that the article is talking about the "read" link always leads you there

The Text "THIS BRAND NEW" leads to the old post about the trailer. I can't find the link to the new trailer, I agree with Philip. Just post the link, don't make us search for it, and click around. It's stupid.

Well, I clicked the "Read" link. Goes to the semi-pro page, but I can't watch the trailer anyway. It can't verify my identity for whatever reason. By this point, I don't even care, I'm going to see the movie anyway.

Thanks for the tip about the "Read" link. However, what I was hinting at, was that it's intuitive to click links as you come to them, not to scroll down past text you haven't read to get information needed to help place the text you didn't read, into context. Sorry if my post wasn't clearer.
