Thanks to Funny or Die, the first five minutes of the Nicholas Stoller comedy is now online.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall director teams up with Russell Brand and Jonah Hill again in this Judd Apatow produced film. Revisiting the character of Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Brand gives an outstanding performance along side Hill who plays a record company executive who is entrusted with the task of chaperoning the rock legend to his 10 year anniversary comeback concert at the Greek Theatre in LA in just 3 days.
Synopsis: courtesy of IMDB
Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.’s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex god. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn’t mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back right before kick-starting his world domination.
As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek.
Get Him to the Greek will be released Friday, June 4th.
