Warner Bros. and New line Cinema have released the trailer for ‘Game Night’. The upcoming action/comedy stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams as Max and Annie, a couple whose weekly game night is taken to the next level when Max’s brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party that quickly goes awry. Based on the trailer, this premise seems to be a boatload of fun, but also feels like ‘Date Night‘ meets ‘The Game‘.
‘Game Night’ was directed by ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘ writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation), and the script was written by Mark Perez (Accepted). In addition to Bateman, McAdams and Chandler, the film stars Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Chelsea Peretti, Danny Huston, and Michael C. Hall. ‘Game Night‘ opens in theaters on March 2, 2018.
Here’s the trailer, along with the official synopsis:
[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/-76o69txkZs”]Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.
