Watch This: Hilarious R-Rated Teaser for 'Hot Tub Time Machine'

Filed under: Comedy », Fandom », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »



If you read Cinematical enough, you're already familiar with a bizarre upcoming comedy called Hot Tub Time Machine, and how it could very well be the most awesomest hot tub time machine-related film ever made in the history of hot tub time machine films. Starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Rob Corrdry, Chevy Chase and more, the film tells of a group of foul-mouthed, boozed-up gents who discover they can travel back in time via their ski lodge hot tub. Hilarity ensues.

MGM just sent us the first teaser/clip from the film, which is totally filthy and extremely R-rated, so be warned before heading after the jump. The scene itself shows the guys talking about time machines and Terminator, and I don't think I've ever seen John Cusack use the word 'f*ck' that many times in one scene. In an exclusive chat with Cinematical recently, Hot Tub Time Machine writer (and Cinematical fan) Josh Heald told us the following: "Hot Tub Time Machine is probably the greatest gift anyone's ever given the world. Time will show that it ranks up there with the Statue of Liberty and free Internet porn."

Watching this clip and, well, I think I agree, sir. Check it out after the jump. Hot Tub Time Machine attacks theaters on February 26, 2010.

Hot Tubs: Vehicles of Time Travel

Filed under: Comedy », Deals », MGM », Scripts »

I guess there is always room for another weird form of time travel. A big blue box has been making time travel fun for years on Doctor Who, and now we're getting a wet and wild version. The Hollywood Reporter posts that MGM has picked up a new comedy project by Josh Heald called Hot Tub Time Machine. Doesn't that sound like something right out of the '80s? I could totally see it as a follow-up to Weird Science.

Anyway ... the flick is said to follow "a group of guys, adults who used to be cads back in their heyday, who, after a night of vodka and Red Bulls in a hot rub, travel back in time and set out to rediscover their 'mojo.'" Methinks there will be no room in this feature for time travel rules and paradoxes -- this is sounding like the sort of project that will throw time travel law to the wind ... or maybe not!

MGM exec Cale Boyter says: "We're always looking for ways to stand out from the rest of the pack in today's crowded marketplace, and what better way than to combine hot tub debauchery and the complications of time travel." Oh, the ultimate geek adventure -- perfecting youthful ways whilst trying not to complicate time travel. What I don't get is how this works -- are they going back in time to watch themselves secretly and try to re-tap into their lost lasciviousness? I get the feeling it won't matter; I'm betting this flick will be all about the boobs and booze.
