If Vice Principals isn’t fulfilling your desire for high school-set hijinks amongst faculty, next year we’re getting Fist Fight, a new comedy from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia director Richie Keen. Continuing down the box-office-winning formula of teaming Ice Cube with someone who plays opposite his persona (this time Charlie Day), the first trailer has arrived.
The first trailer sets up the thinnest of premises, but with its varied cast, hopefully there’s a good amount of laughs come February. Also starring Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell, Dean Norris, Christina Hendricks, Dennis Haysbert, Kumail Nanjiani, and JoAnna Garcia Swisher, check out the trailer and poster below.
On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
Fist Fight opens on February 17.
