The summer of 2011 is looking pretty solid when it comes to comedies. Bridesmaids is already something of a hit, we know The Hangover Part II is going to be a monster and with the recent releases of trailers for films like 30 Minutes Or Less, Friends With Benefits, Crazy Stupid Love, Bad Teacher, The Change Up and Horrible Bosses, maybe this summer will be remembered less for its loud explosions and leotards and more for its laughs.
Out of all of those films, though, arguably the one with the most pre-release buzz is Horrible Bosses. The trailer was an almost universal hit and people who’ve seen test screenings of the film say it lives up to the hype. Now, with the release of these eye-catching and clever posters, even more people are going to start getting excited about the film which stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day as three friends who conspire to kill their “horrible bosses” played by Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey. Directed by Seth Gordon (The King of Kong), it’ll be released July 8. Check out the posters after the jump. Read More »

Jason Bateman fans: today is all yours. We just saw a new theatrical trailer for The Change-Up, his body-switching comedy with Ryan Reynolds, and now here’s the first trailer for Horrible Bosses. This is a comedy where three friends (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) scheme, in seemingly moronic ways, to knock off their three bosses, played by Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. We’ve had high hopes for this one, and the trailer has a few good laughs. (Many from Colin Farrell.) Check it out after the break. Read More »
Briefly: You’re probably going to be hearing a lot more about Logan Lerman in the next couple years.

Hey, discarding handsome aesthetics in favor of comedy worked for Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder, right? So here’s Colin Farrell sporting a Kingpin-style combover, either to star in a secret film where he and Peter Dinklage play twin brothers, or for his role as one of the title characters in the comedy Horrible Bosses, which is shooting now. See a larger pic, if you can take it, after the break. Read More »
We’ve been following the developing cast of Horrible Bosses fairly closely. The film, in which three friends make plans to bump off each others’ three awful bosses, could be a great little comedy if things work well. The last big role to cast has been the third of the title’s horrible bosses, and now an appropriate name has agreed to sign on the dotted line: Kevin Spacey. Read More »
Based on the cast alone, Horrible Bosses is starting to look like one of the more promising studio comedies on the horizon. The film about three friends who conspire to kill each others’ bosses already has Charlie Day and Jason Bateman as two of the three friends, and Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell as two of the bosses. Jamie Foxx, meanwhile, plays “a scam artist who dishes killing advice to the three regular guys.”
Now Jason Sudeikis is joining; he’ll play the third friend, leaving just the final boss to cast. King of Kong‘s Seth Gordon is directing. [THR]
After the break, Cary Elwes works with Ivan Reitman and John Cusack kills people. Read More »
