The first poster and a new trailer have been released this week for the hilarious comedy adventure YOUR HIGHNESS which comes out next April. Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave,
handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for this epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.
Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure,
adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.
Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman), an elusive warrior with a
dangerous agenda of her own-the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages. The film, full of all sorts of craziness, also stars Damian Lewis .
Portman in a comedy? That might be interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteand in the case it matters to you - Portman also appears in leather thongs in the film :) as you can see in the above trailer.
ReplyDeleteGee, I hope the whole movie is as funny as the trailer! Marked my calendar for this one.
ReplyDeleteyep, they do go a bit over the line in some scenes with the humor :) but it seems hilarious generally!
ReplyDeleteHow have I missed this one????
ReplyDeleteWait - did you make this up? Is this one of those "Write Christmas" things?
ReplyDeleteLooks like this is going to be a funny movie.

ReplyDelete@Cheri
ReplyDeletehonestly I didn't :) The movie is for real, I wrote about it many times before :)
@Masy
it really does!
@Melissa

...looks funny, adding a new wrinkle to Portman's career, to which I'm a fan:)
ReplyDeleteyou too, Brutus my son? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun; something to see with my 12yo.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
This is so Krod Mandoon...even down to the strong female and tacky humour.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm looking forward to this; epic it shall be. Plus, with added Natalie goodness, it can't do any wrong, hehe.
ReplyDeleteHaha, can't wait for that film, it looks hilarious. This trailer is much more suitable for everyone as opposed to their other one, but it isn't as funny. I do love the "because I'm rich, I live in a castle and oh ya, I can do magic!"
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong w/ some medieval laughter!
ReplyDelete@Donna
ReplyDeleteah, I'm not sure what the censorship rating for this one will be, there's some nasty humor in it, but you yourself could definitely watch it :)))
@Lynda
Krod Manwho? :)) Nice to have you back, Lyndylove!
@Jamie
ah, you're not difficult to please :PP
@Bryan
ReplyDeleteah, yes, Justin Theroux' character will be especially hilarious in the film :)
@Lisa
absolutely nothing wrong :)
Looks very funny, looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteOML :)
In a bit of irony, my wife and I were just discussing, not ten minutes ago, how James Franco has become--or has been trying to become--a serious actor who doesn't take on silly roles anymore.
ReplyDelete@Lurky
ReplyDeleteglad you like it :)
@MJ
he he that's hilarious :)) I'm sorry that I was the one to break your illusions :)
Leather thong? It just became a must see!
ReplyDeleteI believe you can see the incriminated object in the trailer as well :))
ReplyDeleteIt has been some time since we had a funny medieval. Your Highnesses is just in time.
ReplyDeleteI love James Franco and Natalie Portman and I love comedies (so I hope it's good!). I caught a glimpse of Monty Python's Eric Idle in the trailer so that should be a portent of funniness. :)
ReplyDelete@Avalon
ReplyDeleteyep, we need much more medieval things in cinemas!
@Phylly
the whole film has a Monty Python vibe if you ask me :)
Thanks for sharing your blog,This looks so funny,Portman is cool and james franco is awesome.
