Just about a month ago, the first official trailer for Casa de mi Padre provided a very brief, thirty-second glimpse at the wondrous lunacy of the upcoming comedy.  Now, a full theatrical trailer offers a double-barreled blast of gleeful ridiculousness from the film, which stars Will Ferrell as a poor ranch hand.  That might not sound terribly odd, until you consider that Casa de mi Padre contains only a tiny amount of English; it's done in the overblown, melodramatic style of a Mexican soap opera, up to and included almost exclusively Spanish dialogue.  The film is produced by Ferrell's frequent director Adam McKay, and based on this trailer, it contains the happily anarchic, strange spirit of their best work together.

Two weeks ago, the first official trailer for Casa de mi Padre took thirty quick seconds to introduce Armando Alvarez, the hero played by Will Ferrell.  With that bombastic teaser heralding the coming of this man amongst men, there are now two eye-catching posters for the comedy, both of which play up Alvarez's indomitable masculinity.  Hopefully, that will override the average American moviegoer's aversion to subtitles.  Casa de mi Padre is done in the over-the-top style of a Mexican soap opera, and as such contains only a tiny bit of English, with Ferrell and the rest of the cast speaking Spanish the whole time.

Last week we saw two posters for Casa de mi Padre, the comedy that has Will Ferrell playing Mexican ranch hand Armando Alvarez.  Today, a really quick teaser trailer for the film arrived online, and it provides just the smallest sampling of the lunacy sure to be contained in the film, which is done in the style of a Spanish-language soap opera and contains only a minimal amount of English.  This thirty-second introductory teaser doesn't really clue audiences in to that fact, what with most people's aversion to subtitles and all, but instead gets some good trailer voice going and relies on Will Ferrell being goofy.  The inarguable highlight of this half minute, though, is definitely Diego Luna wielding two handguns, John Woo-style.

Some folks passed their breaking point with Will Ferrell years ago.  Even this crowd, who argue that he has lingered on one note for too long, might acknowledge that Ferrell has shown a willingness to go for broke with some truly strange comedic endeavors.  One such happily odd venture is Casa de mi Padre, a feature comedy made in the style of a Spanish language soap opera, with every major character naturally speaking Spanish the entire time.  As such, the film is subtitled.  Now that the movie has a release date just a few months out, we've been treated not simply to one poster, but two posters and an official image featuring Ferrell as Armando Alvarez in Casa de mi Padre.

In District 9, the thoroughly awesome 2009 feature debut of director and co-writer Neill Blomkamp, protagonist Wikus Van De Merwe spent the majority of the film's running time doubled over in pain whilst undergoing a gruesome physical transformation before eventually ending up in some armored alien hardware for a spell.  Blomkamp is currently shooting his second film, a mysterious science fiction project titled Elysium, and the first photos from the Vancouver set have made their way online.  The blurry images suggest that, like Wikus, the hero of this new film, played by a bald Matt Damon, will endure plenty of physical discomfort and will also wear some sort of techno-suit thingie.

If the idea of Will Ferrell starring in an almost-exclusively Spanish-language, action-heavy homage to telenovellas doesn't appeal to you, then you're going to hate this (possibly leaked) trailer for Casa di me Padre.  In the film, Ferrell is Armando, an impoverished ranch hand whose highly successful brother, played by Diego Luna, returns to the family ranch with his gorgeous bride-to-be, and she promptly falls for Armando.  Amidst the passion and betrayal, the brothers run afoul of Mexico's most ruthless gangster, portrayed by Gael Garcia Bernal, cast way against type.  It looks even more absurd than it sounds.

Mark Wahlberg's in a good place these days.  The erstwhile Funky Bunch leader's passion project, The Fighter, which he spent years laboring on, was a critical and commercial success.  Last summer's The Other Guys, in which Wahlberg bickered to comedic effect with Will Ferrell, didn't do too badly, either.  He's currently involved in the action thriller Contraband and the comedy Ted, which will be the live action debut for Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.  Now, it looks like Universal is also developing an action-comedy titled Bait and Switch for Wahlberg to star. 

Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who worked together in both Y tu mamá también and Rudo y Cursi have just signed on to work with Will Ferrell in Casa de mi padre.
