ScreamDesk is buzzing with excitement! Bloody Disgusting just dropped a juicy tidbit of news that's got us reaching for our remotes and dusting off our time-traveling devices (metaphorically, of course). Vince Vaughn, the comedic powerhouse we all know and love, is starring in a new time-travel action-comedy, 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice,' and it's heading straight to Hulu!
The film, brought to us by 20th Century Studios, is set to premiere at SXSW in Texas on March 14th, offering lucky attendees a first glimpse into this temporal adventure. For the rest of us, mark your calendars for March 27th, because that's when 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' will be making its grand entrance onto Hulu. But that's not all! Bloody Disgusting also gave us our first look at the film, featuring Vaughn alongside James Marsden and the always captivating Eiza González.
Gangsters, Time Travel, and Comedy: A Recipe for Success?
While details about the plot are still shrouded in mystery (we’re eagerly awaiting a trailer!), the premise alone is enough to pique our interest. The film reportedly revolves around two gangsters who, somehow, find themselves entangled in the unpredictable world of time travel. This blend of genres – action, comedy, and time travel – has the potential to deliver a truly unique and entertaining experience. Vaughn's signature comedic timing combined with Marsden's dramatic chops and González's undeniable screen presence creates a potent mix that we can't wait to see unfold.
We've seen time travel done brilliantly in horror before (think 'Triangle' or 'Timecrimes'), but this seems to be leaning more into the comedic side of the equation. Could this be a spiritual successor to films like 'Hot Tub Time Machine,' but with a gangster twist? The possibilities are endless!
What to Expect from 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice'
With Vaughn at the helm, we can undoubtedly anticipate plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. His ability to deliver witty dialogue and engage in physical comedy is unparalleled. The addition of Marsden and González adds a layer of intrigue, suggesting a more complex narrative than a simple laugh-fest. We're hoping for sharp writing, inventive action sequences, and a time-travel mechanic that's both clever and integral to the plot.
Hulu has become a solid streaming home for genre movies, from the 'Hellraiser' reboot to quirky horror comedies like 'Fresh.' 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' seems to fit perfectly into their catalog. As we inch closer to the premiere, keep your eyes glued to ScreamDesk for more updates, trailers, and behind-the-scenes scoops. Will this be the next big streaming hit? Only time (travel) will tell!
