AceShowbiz - MySpace has debuted a new R-rated trailer for upcoming comedy "Funny People". Contrary to the previous trailers, this freshly-released trailer features a NSFW stand-up routine by Adam Sandler's George Simmons, more footage of Eric Bana's character and a better look at Aubrey Plaza's part.
The comedy movie centers on Simmons, a stand up comedian and movie star who finds out that he's been diagnosed with a terminal, in-operable disease. Dealing with the shocking revelation, he then decides to hire an aspiring stand-up comedian, Ira Wright. Before long, he forms a close bond with Wright and learns that his disease has gone into remission. But, an old flame reenters his life, forcing him to reevaluate what is important to him and what truly gives meaning to his life.
"Funny People" is the latest comedy movie from Judd Apatow, the director of "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up". Promising to give a serious movie that is twice as funny as his other movies, Apatow pairs up Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen as Simmons and Wright respectively. Supported also by Leslie Mann, Jason Schwartzman and Jonah Hill, it is set to hit U.S. theaters on July 31.
