Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming action-comedy, ‘Action Point’. The film centers around Johnny Knoxville‘s D.C., who owns a low-rent amusement park. After D.C.’s ammunsment park is threatened to go out of business by the opening of a spiffy new rival park, D.C. and his teenage daughter pull out all the stops to keep their park alive. There’s plenty of great moments in the trailer, but it really feels like a potentially great funny combination of ‘Jackass‘ and ‘Bad Grandpa‘.
The film will be directed by Tim Kirkby and produced by Knoxville, Bill Gerber and Derek Freda. It is based on a story by Knoxville, Freda, John Altschuler, Dave Kinsky and Mike Judge, with a screenplay by Altschuler and Kinsky. In addition to Knoxville, ‘Action Point‘ will star Chris Pontius, Dan Bakkedahl, Matt Schulze, Eleanor Worthington-Cox, Johnny Pemberton, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Joshua Hoover, Conner McVicker and Eric Manaka.
‘Action Point‘ will hit theaters on June 1, 2018! Here’s the first trailer, along with the official synopsis below:

To save his beloved theme park and his relationship with his daughter, D.C. and his loony crew of misfits risk everything to pull out all the stops – and stunts – making for another wild ride from the star of BAD GRANDPA and JACKASS.
