Hilarious ‘Your Highness’ Trailer
ByScience fiction trailers are sweeping the box office, but where has all the fantasy gone? Fear no more, ladies and noblemen… The time has come to embark on a quest through a mythical land filled with dragons, a virgin damsel in distress, bong smoking, and Natalie Portman in a thong. Now that I have your attention, make way for the trailer for the film, Your Highness, which is David Gordon Green’s follow up film to Pineapple Express.
Your Highness has a magnificent cast including: James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschannel. As Barrett mentioned back in late April, Joseph Gordon-Levitt replaced James Franco in this Summer’s biggest blockbuster because Franco had a scheduling conflict between Your Highness and Inception. I am a selfish, happy, person knowing that Franco was confined to this raunchy R-rated comedy. Franco was cast as the nobleman (by blood) that displays “brave and bold” qualities and loves his girlfriend played by Deschannel.
McBride plays Franco’s brother, who is also royalty but displays antic behavior and consummates filthy jokes throughout the film. Deschannel is captured by an evil wizard that seeks her virginity (making her the damsel in distress I mentioned earlier). Franco has to save her, bringing McBride and Portman on his quest through the lands together in attempt to rescue Deschannel from imprisonment.
Naturally, there are many obstacles along the journey to saving Deschannel. One obstacle entails fighting a multiple-headed dragon, while the next includes smoking herb with a mythical creature that looks like its straight out of A Never Ending Story (one of my favorite childhood movies). For these reasons, the film may not gain a huge popularity in the box office. Not everyone has the fantasy urge to slay dragons, or watch strange rituals about smoking “herb”. Nonetheless, the film has the potential to please many viewers; especially, if the movie lives up to the official RedBand trailer.
Now, brave souls, I suggest you check out the trailer for Your Highness to get a glimpse of the treacherous quest. Beware, this is a RedBand trailer, meaning all the swearwords and crudeness are not censored for a wide audience.
Your Highness is scheduled for release to theaters on April 8, 2011.
I expect Your Highness to be hilarious, nerdy, and motherf*cking magical, and not necessarily in that order.
