THE OTHER GUYS’ Teaser Trailer Doesn’t Cop Out

Back when the motion poster for THE OTHER GUYS hit, we talked a little bit about how it could very well be the funniest movie to come out in a long time.  Just the premise sounds phenomenal.  Now comes the film’s teaser trailer courtesy of Yahoo! Movies.  Sure, they call it a teaser trailer, but, at close to 2 1/2 minutes,  it’s more like a full-blown trailer.  Nonetheless, it is hilarious from start to finish, and everyone involved seems to be working their due diligence to make this film live up to its own hype.

Check out the trailer right here:

Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, and Dwayne Johnson all look hilarious in this movie, one that is sure to continue Adam McKay’s streak to stardom continue on.  Just the fact that Michael Keaton has roles in two, prominent films this year (TOY STORY 3 being the other one) makes 2010 one for the books in my estimation.

THE OTHER GUYS hits theaters on August 6th.

THE OTHER GUYS Motion Poster Coming At You

THE OTHER GUYS could very well be one of the greatest comedies ever made.  Sure, it could be atrocious, but there’s always that possibility that it could transcend its own sub-genre of the buddy cop action/comedy and be something truly memorable.  You know.  Kind of like COP OUT only amazing.

The idea that it stars Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell as a couple of bumbling detectives who try to one-up their idols, played here by Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson.  Plus you’ve got Michael Keaton, Craig Robinson, and Steve Coogan thrown into the mix, as well.  It’s directed by Adam McKay of ANCHORMAN and STEP BROTHERS fame, so you know the equation is ripe for greatness.

Speaking of greatness, just below you will find the new motion poster for the film.  Not only is it ingenuity hard at work, it’s quite funny.  Just seeing Will Ferrell fly through the air firing dual guns is funny enough, but Wahlberg comes into his comedic own near the end of the poster’s clip, too.
