“Tonight, we’re kicking game night up a notch,” says Kyle Chandler’s character Brooks in the opening monologue.

Warner Brothers has released the hilarious first trailer for “Game Night” with Mean Girls’ Rachel McAdams returning to her comedy roots alongside another genre veteran Jason Bateman. The film looks like a laugh out loud crowd pleaser that suggest we may have a genuine comedy hit next year.

The trailer shows a suburban group of couples gathering together for a night of fun and games where one of them gets kidnapped. “Someone in this room is going to be taken, and it’s up to you to find them,” says Brooks. “Whoever finds the victim wins the grand prize. You’re not gonna know what’s real and what’s fake.”

Hilarity ensures when real thugs break in and kidnaps the game organizer with the group seemingly clueless that the whole thing is real, all the while snacking on cheese while the crime unfolds before their eyes.

What follows is a collage of comedy and thrills where someone get shot, another gets hit by a car, a bad guy gets sucked into a jet engine, and in one absolutely hysterical scene where an adorable dog accidentally got smeared in blood, all of which works and humorously played by the cast.

Joining McAdams, Bateman and Chandler on Game Night are Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Chelsea Peretti, Danny Huston, and Michael C. Hall. The Warner Bros. is set to release the film on March 2, 2018.

Here’s the official synopsis of Game Night courtesy of Warner Bros.:

Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this game—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.

Margot Robbie’s rising star profile looks to continue as Neon dropped a new red band trailer for the biographical sports black comedy film “I, Tonya.” about the Tonya Harding Olympic scandal.

The film has been receiving plenty of Oscar buzz around Robbie’s performance as well as the film following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Steven Rogers, the movie seems to be told more around Harding’s abusive family background which she later dished out on the ice including the infamous attack on Nancy Kerrigan before the 1994 Winter Olympics and its aftermath.

The trailer also shows audiences their first look at Harding’s foul-mouthed mother LaVona played by Allison Janney, Harding’s ex-husband Jeff Gilooly as played by Sebastian Stan. “The haters always say ‘Tonya, tell the truth.’ There’s no such thing as truth,” says Robbie’s Harding.

‘I, Tonya’ is set for release on December 8, 2017.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

Based on the unbelievable but true events, I, TONYA is a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, a mustachioed Sebastian Stan as her impetuous ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother, LaVona Golden, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie’s I, TONYA is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked––and checkered––glory.
