Rebel Wilson & Sacha Baron Cohen Make Love in New ‘Brothers Grimsby’ Trailer
Up next, he stars alongside Mark Strong in the new action comedy The Brothers Grimsby. Then the tagline warns us that the only person more risky than Strong’s MI6 agent is his idiot brother. Rebel Wilson, Penelope Cruz, Isla Fisher, Gabourey Sidibe, Annabelle Wallis, and Ian McShane complete the cast. Previously titled Grimsby, the film stars Mark Strong as a British black ops spy who is forced to go on the run with his idiotic football hooligan brother, played by Sacha Baron Cohen. There’s only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian, who Nobby has spent 28 years searching for after they were separated as kids. The film arrives on March 4, 2016.
Nobby sets off to reunite with Sebastian, unaware that not only is his brother MI6’s deadliest assassin, but he’s just uncovered plans for an imminent global terrorist attack.
With Letterier (Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk) behind the lens, The Brothers Grimsby may very well redeem itself on the dynamic between Strong and Cohen’s leading pair, though it can’t hinge on that comedic interplay for the entire feature.
Sacha Baron Cohen has been Ali G, Bruno, and Borat. The film is based on a screenplay penned by Cohen and Wreck-It-Ralph writer Phil Johnston.
