High School

Red-Band Trailer for HIGH SCHOOL

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 20th, 2012 at 9:30 am

As it’s 4/20 and all, it seems appropriate that a red-band trailer for the stoner comedy High School go online.  Co-written and directed by John Stalberg, the film centers on a soon-to-be valedictorian (Matthew Bush) who smokes pot for the very first time, only to find out that a mandatory drug test has been scheduled at school.  In a moment of panic, Bush and his friend (Sean Marquette) conspire to spike the school’s bake sale brownies with the help of a law-student-turned-drug-dealer (Adrien Brody) in order to make everyone fail the drug test.  As with the first trailer, there are a couple laughs to be found.  It seems like a fun enough premise for a stoner comedy, and I could see it being a fun watch on a late weekend night.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film also stars Colin Hanks, Michael Chiklis, Adhir Kalyan, and Mykelti Williamson.  High School opens on June 1st.

First Trailer for Stoner Comedy HIGH SCHOOL Starring Adrien Brody

The first trailer for the pot comedy High School has gone online.  Co-written and directed by John Stalberg, the film centers on a soon-to-be valedictorian (Matthew Bush) who smokes pot for the very first time, only to find out that a mandatory drug test has been scheduled at school.  In a moment of panic, Bush and his friend (Sean Marquette) conspire to spike the school’s bake sale brownies with the help of a law-student-turned-drug-dealer (Adrien Brody) in order to make everyone fail the drug test.  The trailer has a couple laughs, and I’ve heard that the full film is quite a bit better than this clip would have you believe.  The premise could be a lot of fun, and Brody and Michael Chiklis are nearly unrecognizable as the psycho drug dealer and school principal, respectively.  Moreover, it looks like there’s a Thurman Murman cameo, and every movie is automatically improved 100% with Thurman Murman.

Adrien Brody Exclusive Video Interview SPLICE

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: June 3rd, 2010 at 4:53 pm

One of the best films I saw at this year’s Sundance Film festival was director Vincenzo Natali’s Splice. Starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as genetic scientists that create a new life form with severe consequences, the film is original, dark, twisted, and awesome.  Trust me, if you’re the kind of person that complains Hollywood never does anything original, you’re going to want to check out Splice this weekend.

Anyway, I recently got to sit down with Adrien Brody to talk about his work in Splice and all the other projects he’s working on like High School and Predators.  As a huge fan of his work in such films as The Pianist, The Brothers Bloom, The Darjeeling Limited, I’ll admit to being very excited getting the chance to talk with him.  Thankfully, he could not have been nicer and while our interview was scheduled for print (meaning no video), he agreed to let me use my new Kodak ZI8 flip camera.  Hit the jump to check out what he had to say:

The first teaser trailer for the stoner comedy High School has been released.  With it being 4/20, I think they picked the right day.  Premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the movie is about two former best friends that decide to get everyone in their High School stoned so no one can pass the mandatory drug test.  Starring  Michael Chiklis, Adrien Brody, Colin Hanks, Matt Bush and Sean Marquette, the film got decent reviews at the Festival and I’ve heard it’ll be getting released this fall on 1500 screens.  Until then…check out the teaser after the jump.  The voice you’ll hear is Adrien Brody as Psycho Ed.

Adrien Brody Goes Back to HIGH SCHOOL to Sell Drugs

by Michael Sullivan    Posted: November 24th, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody plays a drug dealer in the stoner comedy High School and we have pictures to prove it. The film, written and directed by John Stalberg, tells the story of a high school valedictorian who accidentally gets stoned the day of a drug test that threatens his title. The boy’s solution? Get the rest of the school stoned too! The film stars Brody as drug dealer “Psycho Ed”, Colin Hanks as the valedictorian, and Michael Chiklis as the principal, so it’s not as Direct-to-DVD as its premise might suggest. See Brody in all his reefer regalia after the jump.
