Film Preview: The Watch

Seth Rogan teams up with Evan Goldberg to write this science fiction comedy with an impressive cast of comedy actors. The idea for the film was to create a PG-13 Ghostbusters type film with names such as Will Ferrell and David Dobkin slated to star in the early days of production. It features Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn as well as Richard Ayoade who is much better known to UK fans from The IT Crowd and the absolutely superb Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

The film follows four men who form a neighbourhood watch scheme mainly as an excuse to spend times away from their families and have fun with the guys. The group then discovers a plot that could end the human race and have to take on the battle themselves. The trailer looks reasonably promising and has some top comedic actors with the casting of Ayoade being a personal highlight.

The film is released in the UK on Wednesday 29th August and the trailer is embedded below:
