THE CHANGE-UP Red Band Trailer

In this new red-band trailer, Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in THE CHANGE-UP, from director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), writers Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (The Hangover) and producer Neal Moritz (Fast & Furious, Click).Time to send the kids out of the room, because this trailer for the R-rated comedy takes the traditional body-switching movie, ties it up tightly and throws it off a cliff.

Synopsis:

Growing up together, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave’s worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other’s bodies and proceed to freak the &*#@ out.

Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other’s lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave’s sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde), and Mitch’s estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other’s lives before they can find away to get their old ones back.

From Universal Pictures, THE CHANGE-UP will be in theaters on August 11, 2011.

Will Ferrell to Join the ‘Neighborhood Watch’

will-ferrell1

Will Ferrell and David Dobkin are in negotiations to star and direct, respectively, the new comedy ‘Neighborhood Watch’ for 20th Century Fox. Â  Shawn Levy, who was originally attached to direct the film, will serve as producer.

The film centers on a man who moves to the suburbs, joins the neighborhood watch there, and gets involved in a sci-fi/alien adventure. Â  Jared Stern serves as first-time screenwriter on the project.

Dobkin has directed such comedies as ‘Wedding Crashers’ and ‘Fred Clause,’ and he is set to direct ‘The Flash,’ if that project is ever to get off the ground. Â  With ‘The Flash’ set for release in 2010, there is no telling whether that or ‘Neighborhood Watch’ will be next on his slate.
