In 2011, Horrible Bosses burst onto screens in the midst of summer movie mania, opening between Transformers: Dark of the Moon and the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise to a respectable $28 million and going on to gross $117 million during its theatrical run. With numbers like those, a sequel was inevitable, and original stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis are back to reprise their roles from the original film.
Also returning are Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Foxx, as well as newcomers Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz. The sequel boasts the same writing team of John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, and if this trailer is any indication, we can expect plenty of the same outrageous hilarity. Check out the new Horrible Bosses 2 trailer below.
The first film did a pretty solid job of putting enough humor in the trailers to draw the audience in, while still keeping some of its biggest laughs under wraps. Hopefully the follow-up adheres to the same pattern. Horrible Bosses 2 opens on November 26.
The follow-up to the 2011 hit comedy “Horrible Bosses” reunites Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as everyone’s favorite working stiffs: Nick, Dale and Kurt.
Jennifer Aniston (“We’re the Millers”), and Oscar winners Jamie Foxx (“Ray”) and Kevin Spacey (“American Beauty,” “The Usual Suspects”) also reprise their “Horrible Bosses” starring roles, while Chris Pine (“Star Trek: Into Darkness”) and Oscar® winner Christoph Waltz (“Django Unchained,” “Inglourious Basterds”) star as new adversaries standing between the guys and their dreams of success.
Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick (Bateman), Dale (Day) and Kurt (Sudeikis) decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business in “Horrible Bosses 2.” But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor’s adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.
