While the hilarious Hot Rod is technically a feature from The Lonely Island, only their next film got the distinction of going under the name Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie since it was announced. Recently revealed to be titled Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, we now have the first red band trailer for Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer‘s latest feature.
Produced by Judd Apatow and set for a prime summer release in June, it follows Connor4Real (Samberg) who drops his latest rap album, but it bombs, so he attempts to reunite his old boy band. Packed to the brim with cameos and other familiar faces, including Sarah Silverman, Bill Hader, and Tim Meadows, we imagine this will be one of the highlights of the summer. Check out the trailer below, along with Samberg revealing the feature on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Update: See the green band trailer below.
Universal Pictures’ POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING is headlined by musical digital-shorts superstars Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, collectively known as The Lonely Island. The comedy goes behind the scenes as singer/rapper Conner4Real (Samberg) faces a crisis of popularity after his sophomore album flops, leaving his fans, sycophants and rivals all wondering what to do when he’s no longer the dopest star of all.
The latest comedy from blockbuster producer Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Superbad, Knocked Up) co-stars Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows and Maya Rudolph and many of the biggest names in comedy and music in cameo performances. Co-directed by Schaffer and Taccone and written by The Lonely Island trio, POPSTAR is also produced by Rodney Rothman (producer of Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall; co-writer of 22 Jump Street), as well as Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping opens on June 3rd.
