In something that looks likeBridesmaidsmeetsVery Bad Things,Rough Nightchronicles a set of college friends who reunite for an epic bachelorette party where things immediately go deeply awry. Directed byBroad City’sLucia Aniello(who also co-wrote it with fellowBroad CityscribePaul W. Downs),Rough NightstarsScarlett Johansson(as the bride to be),Kate McKinnon,Jillian Bell,Zoe Kravitz, andIlana Glazer.
Beyond the great cast, you had me at “from the writers ofBroad City.” And while the movie is definitely part of a new movement for studios to produce “raunchy female comedies,” this does look like it could be genuinely very funny, even if it is playing off of the old “our party got so crazy we accidentally killed a prostitute! Shoulda stayed in the suburbs!”
Check out the trailer below:
According toBuzzfeed, which debuted the new trailer, Aniello says ofRough Nightthat
“It’s a movie about friendships. It was really more about honing in on our experience of having friendships from high school and college that have evolved and maybe gotten a little bit distant and what does it feel like when you reconnect with those people? Are people excited to be reunited? Are they resentful? What is that experience like?”
Aniello went on to say that,
“It was beyond our wildest dreams in terms of how much chemistry [the cast] had — it was off the charts. A lot of them already knew each other from socially or just working together in the past, so … you really felt like they had been friends forever.”
Rough Nightalso starsColton Haynes,Ty Burrell, andDemi Moore, and is produced byMatt TolmachandDave Becky. The film set to debut in theaters June 16th.
