I've long since gotten over the idea of how weird Your Highness is. Sure it's being directed by David Gordon Green, the (former) indie auteur behind one of my favorite modern romances, All The Real Girls
(Snow Angels
is pretty great, too). But Green cast his lot in the realm of stoner comedy before with Pineapple Express
, and if anything Your Highness looks like that film set in the realm of knights, wizards, and chivalry as general rule. So while I'm not all that excited over the McBride stuff, seeing Natalie Portman nearly butterball naked kickin' ass and crackin' raunchy jokes is exactly what I'm looking for. A second red band trailer has been released for the comedy, which features more of what we saw in the last red band. Only I think there's a bit more emphasis on Portman's character, probably trying to cash in a bit on her recent Academy Award success. Check out the trailer below, courtesy of MSN...
Thadeous (Danny McBride) is a lazy, arrogant prince whose brother, Fabious (James Franco) must go on an epic quest in order to save their father's kingdom. Natalie Portman plays a warrior princess who is also the lazy prince's love interest. Zooey Deschanel plays Belladonna, Fabious' virginal bride. Justin Theroux plays Leezar, the evil wizard who kidnaps Belladonna. Michael Clarke Duncan plays the Giant Troll.
Your Highness(get it?) opens in theaters on April 8th!
