With just a month and a half left until the R-rated summer comedyThe Househits theaters, New Line Cinema has debuted an outrageous new red band trailer. This age-restricted video contains much more footage that the first trailer, showing what really happens when these loving parents, played byWill Ferrell and Amy Poehler, catch someone cheating. The result is much more bloody and hilarious than the version shown in the all-ages trailer, but if you’re averse to a lot of blood being shown, you may want to look away towards the end of this footage, because it gets rather gruesome.
Warner Bros.debuted this red band trailer on YouTube today, which opens with a scene where Scott and Kate Johansen (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) are celebrating their daughter Alex’s (Ryan Simpkins) graduation, by describing the “f— fest” their house will become, once their daughter leaves for college. There’s one big problem though, their college fund is gone, and they can’t afford to pay for hercollege tuition. Their neighbor Frank (Jason Mantzoukas) comes up with the idea for the Johansen’s to turn their house into an illegal casino, to earn their daughter’s tuition money.
The all-star supporting cast of this comedy includes Nick Kroll, Allison Tolman, Michaela Watkins, Ryan Simpkins, Jessie Ennis, Rob Huebel, Cedric Yarbrough and Oscar nomineeJeremy Renner. Jeremy Renner’s character has not been revealed yet in either of the trailers released forThe Houseyet, so we’ll have to wait and see if his character will surface in any of the the forthcoming clips or TV spots. Warner Bros. has given this comedy a June 30 release date, putting it up against Universal’s highly-anticipated animated sequelDespicable Me 3and The Weinstein Company’s horror-thrillerAmityville: The Awakening. Also opening a few days earlier is Sony’s action-comedyBaby Driveron June 28.
