Red Band Trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's Spy Comedy 'The Brothers Grimsby'


Sacha Baron Cohen's spy comedy The Brothers Grimsby should have been in theaters by now. The film was meant to hit theaters some time this year, but with the glut of espionage films Sony decided it would be a better idea to push it to 2016, which was probably a smart move to get it away from the likes of Spy, Spectre, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and others in the genre. Now's as good a time as any to start reminding folks that the film exists, and a good way to do that is with the first red band trailer.

While the film stars and was co-written by Cohen, it was directed by action maestro Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Now You See Me) and his influence is all over the kinetic first-person-shooter style opening featuring Mark Strong. He plays a top Black Ops agent who goes on the run with his idiot football hooligan brother played, obviously, by Cohen.  Rebel Wilson, Isla Fisher, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Gabourey Sidibe, Annabelle Wallis, and Scott Adkins make up a jam-packed celebrity cast.

The Brothers Grimsby opens next year on March 14th.
