A red band trailer for Seth Gordon’s Horrible Bosses has been released. While the green band trailer has some good laughs, this trailer gives a better idea of how the film’s gonna play out. The jokes are spot-on, and every member of the fantastic cast is bringing their A-game. Whoever put Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis together is a genius. I can’t wait to finally see the whole film.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer. And if you missed any of Steve’s coverage from the set, check out his interviews with Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, director Seth Gordon and producer Jay Stern, as well as his full set visit report. Horrible Bosses also stars Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Foxx. The film opens July 8th.

With director Seth Gordon’s (The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters) comedy Horrible Bosses opening July 8, Warner Bros. has provided us with six clips.  As most of you know, the film has an all-star cast featuring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx and it’s about a group of friends that decide to work together to kill their bosses.

While I haven’t seen the film, I’ve spoken to a few people that have and they’re all telling me it’s great.  And after being on the set last year and laughing my ass off, I believe it.  Hit the jump for the clips, and here’s my on set interviews with Day, Bateman and Sudeikis, Gordon, and producer Jay Stern.

At the risk of inflating expectations, I have to say that this week’s “Top 5″ includes one of my all-time favorite stories on the site: the “Alamo Texter Voicemail.” In less than two minutes, the Drafthouse puts a voice to “that person” who all too often sees the movie theater as a great place to get the most out of their unlimited monthly text plan. Joining Alamo’s contribution in this week’s installment is producer John Davis’ sit-down with Steve where he discusses the Predator franchise and what kept Arnold Schwarzenegger from doing Predator 2, our Horrible Bosses set visit, and a pair of Super 8 pieces coming in the form of Matt’s film review and Steve’s video interview with writer/director/producer J.J. Abrams.

Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day On Set Interview HORRIBLE BOSSES

When you put Charlie Day (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Jason Sudeikis (Saturday Night Live) and Jason Bateman (Teen Wolf Too, Silver Spoons) in a movie together, you automatically have my interest.  When you add Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland and Julie Bowen to the cast of Horrible Bosses, it becomes a must see film.  In the film – which arrives next month – Bateman, Sudeikis & Day play friends that decide to kill their bosses who are played by Spacey, Farrell & Aniston. With this being a comedy, needless to say, nothing goes according to plan.

Last summer, I got to visit the set while the production was filming in Woodland Hills, California.  During the visit, I got to participate in a very small roundtable interview with Day, Sudeikis and Bateman.  They talked about the great cast, real life bosses, their characters and the relationships with one another, filming with digital cameras and how that changes the way you can do a scene, ruining takes from laughing, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to either read or listen to the conversation.

Director Seth Gordon interview HORRIBLE BOSSES slice

There are plenty of great-looking hard-R comedies headed our way this summer, but Horrible Bosses has a cast that makes it a serious contender for the best of the bunch.  The film stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charile Day as a trio of hapless employees who agree to kill each others’ bosses played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston, respectively.  As if that cast wasn’t impressive enough, the film also stars Jamie Foxx (playing a character named “Motherfucker Jones”), Donald Sutherland, “Old Spice guy” Isaiah Mustafa, and Julie Bowen.

Last summer I got to visit the set and participated in an intimate roundtable interview with director Seth Gordon.  He talked about the great cast, how the film is using real world issues to “tap into all the emotion and all the upheaval for a lot of Americans right now,” is it difficult to sell the Aniston offering sex as a villain, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to read or listen to the interview.

Producer Jay Stern On Set Interview HORRIBLE BOSSES

Producer Jay Stern Interview HORRIBLE BOSSES slice

Last year I got to speak to producer Jay Stern on the set of his latest comedy, Horrible Bosses.  Directed by Seth Gordon (Four Christmases, The King of Kong) the movie centers on three hapless employees (played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis) who conspire to kill each other’s horrible bosses (played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston). And based on what I saw on set, the film looks very funny and I think audiences are going to love it.

During an intimate roundtable interview, Stern talked about how the project got made, the great cast, how much screen time each of the bosses gets, the tone, the freedom of knowing it’ll be rated R, Colin Farrell’s comb-over, why they wanted Gordon to direct, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to either read or listen to the conversation.

HORRIBLE BOSSES Set Visit

I’m trying not to ruin the take from laughing.  Thankfully, all the reporters on the Horrible Bosses set visit are also on the verge of losing their shit, so I think they won’t throw us all out if we mess it up.  As I look around the converted TGI Friday’s in Woodland Hills, California, I realize the entire crew else is getting ready to burst, and it’s at this moment that I start to think director Seth Gordon’s movie might be awesome and a huge surprise.

But let me back up a second.

Late last summer I got to visit the set of Horrible Bosses.  As most of you know, the film has an all-star cast featuring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx and it’s about a group of friends that decide to work together to kill their bosses.  While Warner Bros. could have played it safe and released a boring PG-13 movie, I’m happy to report Horrible Bosses is a hard R and based on what I saw on set it’s going for the jugular in terms of raunchy comedy.  For more on the film and what I saw and learned on set, hit the jump.

6 New Posters for HORRIBLE BOSSES [Updated]

Three new posters for the upcoming Seth Gordon (The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters) comedy Horrible Bosses have landed online. The sheets feature stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day posing the question “Ever Wish Your Boss Were Dead?” to which I answer an emphatic “No way! Well, okay, maybe once…” In addition to the trio of actors on display here, Horrible Bosses also stars Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx. The film hits theaters on July 8th and while I’ve heard really good things about it so far, I can’t help but wonder why Aniston wanting to sleep with you is such a horrible burden that you would hire Foxx to take her out. Anyways, now back to my suspension of disbelief.

New Trailer and Clip for HORRIBLE BOSSES; First Clips from BAD TEACHER

This post contains a few video treats from two of this summer’s R-rated comedies with two-word titles.  Firstly, Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Horrible Bosses, led by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day.  There is enough in common with the first trailer that I was initially unable to distinguish between the two, but there is enough new footage to be worth a look.  Even better, the new trailer is accompanied by a Horrible Bosses clip (approximately 97% new footage) which features the three stars on a stakeout.  Horrible Bosses opens July 8.

To accommodate my theme, Columbia has released the first two clips for Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segel.  I found one of the clips quite funny — the other less so.  Let’s see how well you know me in the comments!  Bad Teacher opens June 24.  Watch the whole shebang after the break.

It will be interest to see at summer’s end which R-rated comedy was the best.  I certainly wouldn’t bet against Horrible Bosses, which boasts an outstanding cast featuring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudiekis, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx.  The trailer was pretty damn good and while these posters are a bit bland, I’m happy whenever a poster for a comedy doesn’t simply use a white background.

The trailer for Horrible Bosses has gone online.  Directed by Seth Gordon (Four Christmases) the movie centers on three hapless employees (played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis) who conspire to kill each other’s horrible bosses (played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston).  While I’m eager to see what a red-band trailer might hold, there are plenty of good jokes in this green-band trailer.  As usual, Bateman is terrific (his dry delivery at the end of the trailer is golden), but there doesn’t seem to be a weak link in the cast.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer as well as the teaser poster.  The film also stars Jamie Foxx, Donald Sutherland, and Julie Bowen.  Horrible Bosses opens July 8th.

Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis Interview HALL PASS

hall-pass-owen-wilson-jason-sudeikis-slice

In the new Farrelly Brothers comedy Hall Pass, actor Owen Wilson plays a suburban dad named Rick, who is happily married, with a wife and kids that he loves. But, like a lot of men, he can’t help but notice other women, which greatly irritates his wife, Maggie (Jenna Fischer). Rick’s best friend Fred (Jason Sudeikis) attempts to hide his own gawking from his wife, Grace (Christina Applegate), but she is definitely not fooled by his stealthier behavior. After talking it over, both women decide to try to revive their marriages by offering their husbands a hall pass, which allows them one week off from marriage to explore the single life with no questions asked. When the two men quickly realize they don’t have the game they thought they would, they start to realize the importance of what they already have.

At a press conference held during the film’s press day, co-stars Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis talked about the appeal of Hall Pass to both men and women, who they would use a hall pass on in real life, and realizing the good things you already have. Jason also gave an update about his role in the upcoming feature Horrible Bosses and why he got involved with that film. Check out what they had to say after the jump:
