Red Band Trailer for 'Step Brothers'

The first trailer for Step Brothers was pretty sweet, but if you want a healthy dose of unsuitable language with your trailer, you can check out the new red band version above. It contains many of the same scenes, plus a planet of bulls**t in a galaxy of ... well, you have to watch the trailer to find out. My only complaint: I think that this is the perfect example of why that disembodied voice is really overused, and not necessary. The regular trailer used some on-screen scribbling and was all sorts of great, but the voiceover in the red band really takes away from the whole thing.
Nevertheless, this is looking like a kickass movie. I wasn't sure when I first heard about it, but I've been convinced. The comedy follows Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two grown men who won't leave home, and become step brothers when their parents marry. After a rough start, they realize that they're a lot alike and become best friends in adult slackerdom. We've included the trailer after the jump since it's R-rated and full of foul language. Definitely NSFW, so watch at your own risk.
The film will hit theaters on July 25.
Raunchy New Trailer for Will Ferrell's 'Semi-Pro'
Filed under: Comedy », Sports », New Line », Trailers and Clips »
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.
Check Out the Gore-Soaked 'Resident Evil: Extinction' Trailer

Confession time: I kind of have a soft spot for the Resident Evil movies. (Forgive me if I don't pause for any stunned silence.) I think the first movie is a perfectly entertaining live-action comic book, full of silly mayhem, kinetic chases, goopy monsters, stylish artifice, and semi-smart ideas. As far as Resident Evil: Apocalypse is concerned, well, even I'm not that shameless. I've actually TRIED to enjoy the thing as a guilty pleasure, but it's just three degrees too inept to earn even that designation. Still, it's tough to get bored when you've got Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory slaying zombies in skimpy clothes. (The girls, not the zombies.)Having blathered all that, I suppose that the third entry in the series (Russell Mulcahy's Resident Evil: Extinction), which opens (loudly) on September 21, could tip the scales on way or another: If Part 3 is worth a wet slap, then the genre fans will remember the series as satisfying brain candy with a weak center. If Part 3 sucks, then we'll recall the Resident Evil flicks like this: "Yeah, I remember those. They sucked. The first one was kinda good. Wait, was it?"
Anyway, you may have already experienced the recently-released theatrical trailer for RE3, but if you like a little more gore in your promotional materials, then you'll want to click right here to savor the R-rated goodness of a good ol' red-band trailer. (Not recommended for the squeamish, the extremely pregnant, or those offended by female thighs.) I first saw this trailer before a screening of I Know Who Killed Me (seriously, I don't want to talk about it) and it was definitely lacking a lot of the slime, the splats, and the massive open head wounds. Hooray for all the less-than-mindless zombie mayhem. Perfect way to close down a raucous summer movie season if you ask me. Only time (and box office returns) will tell if we're due for a Resident Evil: Ultimate Armageddon Explosion Mega-Catastrophe Apocalypse Extinction Elimination Deathfest Part 4.
