‘Trainwreck’ Trailer: Amy Schumer Teams With Judd Apatow [UPDATED With Red-Band Trailer]
If you’ve seen even a little bit of her Comedy Central series, you already know thatAmy Schumerone of the funniest actresses on the small screen. Now she’s poised to take over the big screen as well, as the writer and star ofJudd Apatow’sTrainwreck.
Schumer plays a woman who’s utterly allergic to commitment. Actually, “commitment” seems like too strong a word — based on theTrainwrecktrailer, she doesn’t even like getting to the second date if she can help it. Enter a handsome doctor played byBill Hader, who threatens to upend her life.
The supporting cast is equally stellar, withVanessa BayerandLebron James(!) as Schumer and Hader’s supportive pals,Tilda Swintonas Schumer’s boss, and much much more. Watch the firstTrainwrecktrailer after the jump.
Update:ATrainwreckred-band trailer has also hit, with more raunchy jokes. Plus, a new poster and new stills — see it all below.
Schumer unveiled theTrainwrecktrailer on Twitter.
Update: And here’s the red-band version:
Apatow’s films have grown a bit shaggy as of late, and Schumer’s a big-screen newbie, but they seem to be in good hands with each other. Schumer’s unique perspective puts a fresh spin on the humor-plus-heart formula that have made Apatow’s past films so successful.
The trailer is flat-out hilarious. I particularly love the last scene, where Bayer and Schumer are utterly confused by Hader’s very polite phone call, while James serves as Hader’s helpful BFF. IfTrainwreckweren’t already on our most-anticipated lists, it would be now.
TrainwreckopensJuly 17. Also appearing areBrie Larson,John Cena,Mike Biriglia,Ezra Miller,Marisa Tomei,Daniel Radcliffe,Barkhad Abdi,Jon Glaser,Colin Quinn, andRandall Park. Lord knows how Apatow and Schumer have managed to fit them all in, but it should be fun to find out.
