New "The Wedding Ringer" trailer is out in time for the comedy flick's release date on January 16, 2015. It features Kevin Hart ("Think Like A Man Too"), Josh Gad ("1600 Penn"), and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting ("The Big Bang Theory").
According to Slash Film, Hart is being positioned as the king of the January box office. His movie "Ride Along", which was shown January 17, 2014, topped the box office with $48.1 million in ticket sales over the U.S. holiday weekend. The film grossed $41.2 million on its third day, overthrowing the $34 million prediction of BoxOffice.com and causing the 29 percent increase in the four-day weekend take for all movies released a year earlier.
"The Wedding Ringer" trailer shows Doug Harris (Gad), who is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.
Other cast includes Ken Howard, Alan Ritchson ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle"), Cloris Leachman ("Raising Hope"), Jenifer Lewis, Cory Holcomb ("Black Jesus"), Mimi Rogers, and Olivia Thirlby ("Dredd"), Affion Crockett ("Haunted House 2"), and Whitney Cummings.
"The Wedding Ringer" is directed by Jeremy Garelick (his feature-film debut), produced by Adam Fields and Will Packer, and written by Garelick and Jay Lavender.
"The Wedding Ringer" trailer surely touches those who have no friends to make as best man. The movie gives the audience ideas how to find one. Will they also depend on best-man-for-hire?
