Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell Go Head To Head In DADDY’S HOME Trailer
Just in time for Father’s Day, it’s Dad VS Stepdad in the ultimate throwdown as Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell star in this first trailer for DADDY’S HOME.
Directed by Sean Anders, DADDY’S HOME follows a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best stepdad to his wife’s two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling and freeloading real father (Wahlberg) arrives, forcing him to compete for the affection of the kids.
The trailer premiered on Yahoo Movies where Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg remarked:
- Will Ferrell (who also produces) on the movie’s tone: “In terms of the movies that we’ve produced, we don’t have any problem doing heightened movies that get crazy. But this one is kind of in the zone of Meet the Parents in that it’s pretty relatable in terms of the scenarios and relationships in it. The comedy still sometimes gets in the ceiling, though. But there are just so many families now that are not traditional families, that are blended families with stepparents and kids and trying to figure out that dynamic. So I think it’ll be fun for people to see us comment on that dynamic.”
- Mark Wahlberg on reuniting with Ferrell for more comedy: “Doing my first comedy was The Other Guys, other than that little bit I did in Date Night, and I always felt how much Will had my back and I was in good hands to risk trying anything. You don’t have to worry about looking ridiculous because you know you’re in good hands.”
- Will Ferrell on the difference between their characters: “My character has learned all the latest parenting techniques, and we have a storyline where [the son] Dylan is getting picked on by fourth graders, and Brad’s instinct is talk and role-play and do conflict resolution dialogue, and Dusty’s like, ‘We gotta teach him how to fight.'”
Red Granite is co-producing and co-financing the film. DADDY’S HOME also features Linda Cardellini, Thomas Haden Church, and Hannibal Buress.
