Sony Pictures has released the first domestic trailer and an international trailer for the upcoming comedyRough Night, which was previously known asRock That Body. This outrageous comedy is coming along at the perfect time, with the recent success of R-rated superhero movies (Logan,Deadpool) and comedies (Bad Moms) alike, which could makeRough Nightone of the sleeper hits of the summer. This movie also shows a different side ofScarlett Johansson, who sheds her action hero persona to play a bride-to-be who gets crazy in Miami.
InRough Night, an edgyR-rated comedy, five best friends from college (played byScarlett Johansson,Kate McKinnon,Jillian Bell,Ilana GlazerandZoë Kravitz) reunite 10 years later for a wild bachelorette weekend in Miami. Their hard partying takes a hilariously dark turn when they accidentally kill a male stripper. Amidst the craziness of trying to cover it up, they’re ultimately brought closer together when it matters most.
The supporting cast includesPaul W. Downs,Colton Haynes,Demi Moore,Ty Burrell,Dean Winters,Karan SoniandNatalie Gold. Sony has set a June 16 release date for thisoutrageous comedy, which will go up against the Disney Pixar animated sequelCars 3and Lionsgate’sTupac ShakurbiopicAll Eyez On Me. This weekend could shape up to be an interesting one at the box office, with the family-friendlyCars 3going up against two adult-themed films in a landscape where R-rated movies are becoming more and more popular. It may certainly not be an easy win forCars 3, as most would imagine, but that race will be decided this June.
