Kyle Chandler Promises A GAME NIGHT To Remember In The Official Trailer

In prior weeks I was a little shocked at how violent John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein's new film, Game Night. I missed out on Vacation and figured this was going to be a straight up, goofy comedy only to spot a trailer tease in weeks prior of a stunt goon getting sucked into the propellers of an aircraft engine.

Yes, you do see that and a whole lot more in the official trailer now online featuring actor Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams as a competitive couple who find each other, fall in love, make friends and as the narrative would have it, find them way in over their head. Cue gunshots, blood everywhere, automotive calamity, a bound-and-gagged Chandler amidst the ruckus... ah. Fun times.
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.
Also starring are Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Danny Huston and Chelsea Peretti, and Michael C. Hall from a script by Mark Perez. February 23 is the date to set!
