Last week at Comic-Con Sony Pictures brought about 7 minutes of footage for the forthcoming film 30 Minutes or Less with panelists Nick Swardson and Aziz Ansari.

Unfortunately co-star Danny McBride was wrapped up with shooting Eastbound & Down so he couldn’t make it to the panel, but he did send a hilarious pre-recorded message to the fans at the Con telling everyone how awesome he was. Following the clip Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) rolled some footage from the film showcasing the bank robbery scene. A portion of the clip can be seen at the end of this red band trailer (warning: trailer is uncensored)

The basic premise of the film finds pizza delivery boy Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) kidnapped by Dwayne (Danny McBride) and his partner in crime Travis (Nick Swardson) who force Nick to rob a bank on their behalf. The scene shown at Con takes place once Nick and Chet (Aziz Ansari) are about to enter the bank. In a very Laurel and Hardy fashion the two bicker over what their aliases will be during the heist.

Once they settle on their temporary names, the reluctant duo don their cliche black ski masks and bust through the doors doing their best to threaten the patrons inside. Nick and Chet demand the security guard throw his gun away but as the guard complies he inadvertently slides the weapon right to one of the female hostages. As she quickly pushes the gun away, the gun discharges and shoots another hostage in the leg. Nick and Chet realize they are clearly in way over their heads so Chet instructs the bank clerk put $100,000 cash in a bag from the vault. Nick grabs the bag of cash but before making his getaway he pauses and feels responsible for the wounded hostage. Nick decides to offer some of the money from the bag to the injured man. Adding insult to injury the bag’s security ink explodes all over the man’s face leaving Nick and Chet dumbfounded.

Chet and Nick grab a new bag full of money and mount their escape. The clip ends with a trailer-style sequence featuring a slew of new images from the movie. I must say that Jesse and Aziz have real on-screen chemistry and great comedic timing. All in all the film seems to strike a nice balance between physical comedy and witty dialogue. While some of the lines look like they may be a bit cheesy, but I still laughed out loud on more than one occasion. Hopefully the final product can be just as funny as everything they have shown so far.

30 Minutes or Less releases August 12 for the US & October 7 for the UK.
