A Group of Friends Reunite, Get Stoned and Freak Out in Fun Trailer For Ensemble Comedy NUKED
A funny new trailer has been released for the ensemble comedy Nuked, featuring Anna Camp, Justin Bartha, Lucy Punch, George Young, Tawny Newsome, Ignacio Serrichio, Maulik Pancholy, Stephen Guarino, Natasha Leggero, and Cole Stockel. The movie follows a reunion of friends who are coming together to celebrate a 40th birthday, complete with an “unplug box” for them to put their phones in for minimal distractions and maximum connections, as well as a chef who curated a cannabis-infused menu for the event. As you’ll see, when news hits of a world-wide impending disaster, havoc ensues.
The film is written and directed by Deena Kashper (Thirtyish), based on a story by Deena and Danny Kashper. The full synopsis reads:
“It's Jack & Gill's 40th birthdays, so the long-time sweethearts invite their college friends for a night away to celebrate. When couples arrive at the rented mansion, Jack and Gill surprise them with an unplugged party, confiscating their phones for the evening. To appease their friends' unease, Jack and Gill also announce their five-course meal will be a cannabis-infused journey. Lots and lots of cannabis. That did the trick. The dinner's in full swing, until someone sneaks a peek at their phone and discovers a nuclear bomb is headed right for Los Angeles. Holy f#$k. The pot kicks in right as they realize they may only have 30 minutes to live. Will they survive in the makeshift basement bomb shelter, or will they get nuked?”
This looks like a silly good time. Nuked originally premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last year, and it’s set for release in select US theaters and on VOD on July 11th. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think:
