When I attended CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month, one of the biggest surprises of all of the panels was the upcoming pot comedy We're The Millers. The footage shown was an extended R-rated trailer that showcased both hilariously vulgar bits and funny banter between characters. Even better, the comedy seems to translate in both green and red band formats.
Warner Bros. has debuted two versions of the first trailer for the new comedy, and while the trailer above is the green band below you can watch the one meant for more mature audiences, courtesy of Warner Bros. UK. The squeamish should be warned: the preview features one truly horrible spider bite.
Directed by Dodgeball's Rawson Marshall Thurber, We're The Millers stars Jason Sudeikis as David Burke, a low-level pot dealer who gets in serious trouble when he is jumped by a group of punks who steal his money and his stash. Desperate to pay off his supplier (Ed Helms), David is forced to take a job transporting what he is told is just a tiny bit of marijuana across the Mexico/U.S. border. To do so he gets the brilliant idea to create a fake family going on vacation in an RV...but things don't go exactly as planned. Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter play David's fake wife, daughter and son, respectively, and as you saw in both trailers Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn make appearances as some kinky fellow travelers.
We're The Millers hits theaters later this summer on August 9th.
