AceShowbiz - Warner Bros. has unleashed a new trailer for upcoming comedy "Fist Fight", featuring Ice Cube and Charlie Day as two teachers named Ron Strickland and Andy Campbell respectively. After Strickland is fired, he challenges Campbell for a fight as the latter is likely the reason why he's kicked out of the school.
"Why are you trying to pick a fight with me, man?" Campbell asks him. "Actions have consequences," Strickland responds. "Now you have to pay the price." Other scenes show the pair finally going one-on-one. While the students and other teachers are ready to witness the fight between the two grown men, Campbell suddenly runs away.
Directed by Richie Keen from a screenplay written by Eva Susser and Van Robichaux, "Fist Fight" is set on the last day of the year. It follows mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell who is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line.
However, things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland, who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
Also starring Tracy Morgan, Christina Hendricks, Joanna Garcia, Dennis Haysbert and Jillian Bell, "Fist Fight" will arrive in U.S. theaters on February 17, 2017.
