Universal’s companion piece to 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, has a new poster which does the job of explaining the film’s premise in case anyone was unsure.
The film sees Russell Brand reprising his role as Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and new boy Jonah Hill (who has his perplexed look in every shot I’ve seen so far) as a music industry lackey who has to Get Him to a comeback concert. The conceit is that he’s a bit of a womanising egomaniac, so expect hilarity to ensue.
The red band trailer didn’t look all bad, and with Brand making waves in Hollywood (with a role in the forthcoming remake of Arthur) this one could lead the way for the US to take him into their trousers and arms like most of the people in the UK seem to.
The excellent people at Live For Films showed us the way with this one, thanks be.
