Some new images have surfaced for Adam McKay’s The Other Guys, the cop comedy staring Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Sam Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Rob Riggle and Damon Wayans Jr. Word has it these are prematurely released promo shots from the studio.
/Film quotes McKay’s description.
“Basically the idea is that you have your star cops of New York City, picture like a Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson-type pair,” McKay explained. They’re the guys who get all the car chases, all the girls. But this is the story of the guys in the desk next to them, the other guys. …The premise is you have the stud cops in New York City, and the other cops are the wannabes who want to be the stud cops,” he explained. “So Ferrell and Wahlberg have another pair of cops who are competing with them to be the stars.
I am a big fan of Wahlberg, but I don’t know that will trump my general disatisfaction with Wayans, and my neutral approach to Will Ferrell (I’m tired of him despite being pleased with some of his less recent comedies) isn’t scoring me any points either.
We will have to wait and see.
