Andy Samberg Wields Mjolnir in Red-Band Trailer For POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING
Why is a clueless musician named Conner (Andy Samberg) swinging Thor's hammer in the first red-band trailer for Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping? I have no idea, but it somehow seems to fit in with all of the other craziness you'd expect from The Lonely Island.
Popstar follows "singer/rapper Conner4Real (Samberg) [as he] faces a crisis of popularity after his sophomore album flops, leaving his fans, sycophants and rivals all wondering what to do when he’s no longer the dopest star of all." This red-band trailer has an F-bomb and a topless woman in it, so take that into account before you fire this up at the office.
The collection of cameos looks pretty impressive, with people like Usher, Adam Levine, Bill Hader, Tim Meadows, Sarah Silverman, Will Forte, and more, but as we saw in Zoolander 2, cameos alone aren't going to be enough to save the movie. Thankfully, these guys have always been hilarious, so I have faith that the movie will be more than just a parade of famous people walking through the frame.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping hits theaters on June 3.
