The Horrible Bosses 2 teaser trailer has just been released featuring stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis.
Horrible Bosses was a big financial success for Warner Bros. and New Line by making just under $210 million internationally on a $35 million budget. Because of this, Warner Bros. decided to make a sequel.
Horrible Bosses 2 will feature much of the same cast as the first. Lead funnymen Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis have all returned along with Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, and Kevin Spacey. The only original star who hasn’t returned is Colin Farrell, and he’s been made up for with the additions of Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine.
The trailer was released on Warner Bros.’ official YouTube account. Check it out:
Calling it a teaser trailer is correct because that trailer was nothing if not a tease. Perhaps it would have been wise to put new stars Waltz and Pine in the trailer for more than a literal “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, as it would have been good to see more of them to get fans who don’t know they’re in the movie more excited. Currently, the trailer doesn’t make it look very different than the original, but that could be what the plan was.
Official synopsis:
Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt 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.
