For anyone who feels like they’re being exposed to nothing but superhero movies and tentpole flicks and are feeling a bit dazed should really check out this brand-new trailer for the movie SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. The upcoming comedy starring Lakeith Stanfield (GET OUT), Tessa Thompson (THOR: RAGNAROK), Armie Hammer (THE SOCIAL NETWORK), Steven Yeun (THE WALKING DEAD) Terry Crews (THE EXPENDABLES), Danny Glover and more look wildly fresh, funny and vibrant, and the trailer is the kind of thing that makes you go, “I have no idea what I just saw, but I want it now.”
Here is a brief plot synopsis:
In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success – which propels him into a macabre universe.
The movie from Boots Riley was one of the talks of Sundance this year and received solid reviews (our own Chris Bumbray gave it a positive critique), later being picked up by Annapurna for a summer release. The movie looks fascinating with an oddball sense of humor and could inject a bit of uniqueness into the summer movie season. I should note that Hammer does a two-foot line of cocaine in the movie, so if the trailer didn’t get ya…
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU hits theaters July 6.
