First Trailer for IDENTITY THIEF Starring Jason Bateman & Melissa McCarthy
Here’s the first trailer for Seth Gordon’s (Horrible Bosses) upcoming comedy IDENTITY THIEF starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. The film centers on an accounts rep (Bateman) who has one week to travel halfway across the U.S to find the con artist (McCarthy) who stole his identity.
It’s a green band trailer so it didn’t really do much for me but I’m a big fan of Horrible Bosses and the pairing of McCarthy and Bateman is undeniably fantastic. I’m looking forward to seeing a proper red band in the near future (for the love of god let this be rated R). Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Genesis Rodriguez (best part of Man on a Ledge!!!…), Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick, and Eric Stonestreet co-star. Identity Thief opens February 8, 2013. Trailer courtesy of Yahoo.
Horrible Bosses’ Jason Bateman and Bridesmaids’ Melissa McCarthy lead the cast of Identity Thief, an all-star comedy in which a regular guy is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.
Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson”… and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.
With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
