So there’s a new green band trailer for Your Highness from the minds behind Pineapple Express and Observe and Report. While there’s not much new here, there are a couple new shots and whatnot.
I mainly just wanted to talk about how I am simply amazed that David Gordon Green and crew are getting away with this. It’s an R-rated fantasy comedy starring a whole bunch of people that aren’t box office draws. I am really excited for this film simply because the scope is so incredibly large for something that will most likely be incredibly niche. It would be stellar if it exploded the same way the Apatow gang did back in 2005, but I honestly can’t see that happening. Universal might not be earning its returns at the box office due to films like Scott Pilgrim playing to a similar niche audience, but you can’t fault the studio for making some super ambitious films.
Command yourself to watch a slightly more clothed Natalie Portman over at Apple.

I'm rooting for this film to succeed and I don't know why. Frankly, I think it looks kind of dumb. But somehow I still want it to succeed. Go figure.
I'd say Natalie Portman and James Franco (especially post-127 Hours) are box office draws, Zooey Deschenal has had starring roles before and Danny McBride has a pretty huge following with Eastbound. I think saying it doesn't have any huge STAR POWER or something is a better way to say it, because this cast definitely has draw.
it feels to me this film looks like it takes place in the same universe as oglaf.com
#2 – Just give up, obviously this writer lives in a cave, like most of the new people who write for this site now.
Yeah… normally, I'm not the type to nitpick the articles here in the comments, but, well… David Gordon Green is "getting away with this" because Pineapple Express was big success, and he's brought back two of the three (and arguably the two strongest) leads from that film. Also, the folks involved with this film ARE part of the "Apatow Gang". Apatow produced Pineapple Express (as well as co-directing a lot of scenes). And this isn't really niche like Scott Pilgrim was. It looks pretty broad, and I'm sure it's going to play very well.
World of warcraft: the movie. Starring real women.
