At one point or another, we’ve all been forced to work a job that we hated. It’s simply a rite of passage that typically strikes at our first gig in the workforce. Or maybe it was the entry-level position that we picked up to launch a fresh start in a new career. After all, no matter how big our dreams are and how achievable they may feel, the bills still need to be paid, and the fridge still needs to be stocked. This summer, Dave Franco (Together) and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton) will find themselves locked in the worst job of their lives when Macon Blair’s (The Toxic Avenger) Idiots arrives in cinemas. Today, as part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview event, we’ve got a brand-new look at the comedy that will make you feel much, much better about your nine-to-five.
Mark (Franco) and Davis (Jackson) aren’t just down on their luck; they’ve completely run out of it at the top of Idiots. The pair of screwups might mean well, but nothing they’ve touched has ever turned to gold, with most things simply falling to pieces instead. But, for once, it seems like things might be on the up-and-up for the duo when they land a new job that sees them in charge of ushering a spoiled teenager (Mason Thames) to a rehab facility. While it may seem like a point A to point B journey, the mission is anything but, and it will throw Mark and Davis into the wildest and most dangerous few days of their lives.
Our sneak peek of Idiots showcases a handful of the absolutely stacked cast that Blair has assembled for his latest dark comedy. With an orange electrical cord wrapped around his hands and wrists, Thames’ Sheridan Kimberley is escorted out of a building by Mark (Franco) and Irinia, played by Kiernan Shipka, who is giving full Natasha Lyonne vibes in our new image. The troubled teen scowls at the camera as he makes his way towards captivity, while a white powdery substance completely covers his body from head to toe.
