It's The NAPOLEON DYNAMITE Guy -VS- Billy Bob & Big Mike Duncan In The SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS Trailer!!
Apple has posted the trailer for Todd Phillips' SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS.
The movie stars John Heder (aka Napoleon Dynamite) as a dork who enrolls on a "confidence building class". ARMAGEDDON's Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Clarke Duncan reunite for this; Ben Stiller also makes a brief appearance in the film -- in a small part that's actually being billed in the trailer.
This movie looks like it's all over the place to me, although the mace in the elevator gag looks pretty damn funny. Heder to be running his Napoleon shtick again..which is fine, I guess. I mean, that's what Pee Wee did, no? (Is that what Pee Wee called it? "Running his shtick?" Ahem...)
SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS opens September 29th. You can read an early test screening review of the film HERE.

Ok, nothing special
-
you guys put out a trailer that was already released on the WORLD WIDE WEB yesterday! I read the ENTIRE web every night before bed so I had already seen this. Please only release stories that no man, woman, or child has ever even dreamed of...
-
He will always be Napoleon Dynamite. Like the Harry Potter kid.
-
I fear though that Jon Heder is qucikly becoming stuck in a one-gag role. For his next film he should be a pure evil villain with not even a hint of comedic overtones.
-
Oh, does anybody know what happened to that Borat post yesterday?
-
What?
-
Yes. The Harry Potter kid WILL ALWAYS be Napoleon Dynamite.
-
It seems like a lot longer to me.
-
I always love to see him, but it is a shame that Hollywood doesn't offer better roles to someone who looks like him! He will be for the rest of his life play in comedies and action-/Fantasyflicks (And sometimes give his voice to some cartoons.). C'mon, Hollywood, don't tell me that The Green Mile was the only serious script about a huge, black man! Well, but at least he's still working...
-
Jon Heder needs to reinvent himself, along with Jake Glyhendnelhgnlehnlah
-
i also find it curious that one of those girls from 'the real world' continues to get work, despite an utter lack of screen charmisma. however, i remain convinced that billy bob thornton is one funny motherfucker.
-
All Internet flames to the contrary! YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH the best revenge is living a life worth living!
-
I wonder if Jon Heder has any actual talent or can really only play one role with varying degrees of grating weirdness. Eh . . . this looks funny enough to me.
-
Think it'll be PG-13.
-
Whatever I FEEL like I wanna do, GOSH!
-
I did genuinely laugh. And this looks a lot better than Anger Management, which sucked.
-
...or are there a bunch of comedies with relatively recognizable talent in them just coming out of nowhere all of a sudden? I mean, I remember a time when a movie idea couldn't get pitched without us hearing about it (usually via Elston Gunn). Now we're getting blindsided by a Billy Bob comedy? How long did it take them to make this?
-
And some people consider him a god, a living legend, a national treasure. to each his own I guess. Besides, I think people give Hader shit cause he's Mormon. Specially since this site is anit-any-religon. Still quiet on the Mel Gibson thing...still? Just admit one of your favs is raging looney...when he's piss drunk that is. lol
-
The guy who uses the spray looks awfully like him. Hmmm... maybe he's Donald?
-
funny? He's awful. "Oh I'm a Ben Stiller character, I'm shy and kind of geeky, but don't let my cocky arrogence that oozes through all of my performances fool you, I'm a good guy and you should root for me in this story." or "I'M IN YOUR FACE WITH A CRAZY VOICE OR ACCENT, BUT DON'T LET MY SIZE AND STATURE FOOL YOU. I'M DANGEROUS!!!" and it really looks like a cameo too so why oh why would you advertise that. I'll still go see it.
-
i certainly don't get that. looks pretty funny to me. and, heder is definately not doing his napolean dynamite "schtick" here. looks like he's playing a regular guy. i wonder about this site sometimes...
-
Did you even see Napoleon Dynamite? Heder
-
I saw Napoleon Dynamite and it was the lamest movie I've seen since Cosby's Leonard Part 6 (tho Cosby at least got a few chuckles). Heder is nothing more than an inbred Mormon. Everytime you see a movie with Heder in it, you are encouraging the Mormons to think they are normal. Stop feeding the cult!
-
Sorry, but I laughed out loud.. oh sorry I meant lol, that was funny. Anyway, this is on my must see list now.
-
I was on the fence until the mace scene. that shit is funny, I don't care who you are. I know it's Napoleon and crotch shots, but hey, it's the director of Old School, I'm sure it's good for a few big laughs. meter maids + sexism = laughs
-
that was enough.
-
that was enough.
-
Funny. Wasnt he in that crap with cuba"where has my career gone"gooding"jnr, about the idiots who end up on gay cruise, think ill avoid school for scoundrels.
-
...at your own peril, Merrick.
I watched the trailer and it didn't look that bad. Of course, the best parts could be in the trailer and that WOULD be bad because they weren't THAT good. -
Or just lost all taste? This will be the generic 9g-13 garbage we've been seeing for several years now. Fuck these type of movies Billy Bob is great and I want more Bad Santa movies not shit like this. Also Heder or whatever his name is, he is not funny or talented in anyway he's probably one of the most annoying actors out there. It's sad because a bunch of tweens saw Napolean Dynamite 80 times means we have to be put through more of his horrible acting talents. Sarah Silverman won't be able to save this movie either, which is sad because I love her.
-
Why did you link wwww.apple.com? The trailer was enough. Fucking weird thing to do.
-
But this looks good to me. I like the cast. Pubes from Conan O'Brien is in it. Matt Walsh is in it. Billy Bob Thornton is in it. I'll be in the theater watching it.
-
He's the one guy in Hollywood who, for the true level of talent that he has (of which I believe is a lot, actually) he consistently finds more and more utter crap to be involved in.
-
I saw this movie several months ago. It was pretty bad. The funniest thing in it, (besides Todd Louiso), was the Ben Stiller CAMEO at the end of the film. It was a CAMEO! Much like Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers. This trailer screams to me that they felt the couldn't depend on the star power of Heder and Thornton and so felt they had to advertise Ben Stiller for his 6 minutes of screentime. How sad. Don't see this movie. Check out my original review for details why.
-
you're alergic to pleasure. must be great not being able to enjoy Old School you fucking simpering weasels.
-
I like Billy Bob as much as Bill Murray, but Jason Heder is no Jason Schwartzman...
-
Anger Management? Rushmore?
-
But I'll go see it anyway. I'm surprised Jon Heder's gotten decent enough roles to escape "Napoleon Dynamite" as much as he has.
-
...is his 15 minutes up yet? How soon before he is doing his Napoleon Dynamite schtick as the wacky neighbor on some low-rated sit-come? I put the over/under at two years.
-
*How* many posts are there already, and no-one has mentioned that this is an unoriginal retread of a minor but charming British film? Alastair Sim anyone? Robert Hamer? Mean anything? Are Anger Management and Rushmore really as far back as the collective film knowledge here goes?
-
And Jon Heder was great as Napoleon Dynamite.
Jon Heder has the potential to do more good work.
In many respects it IS a one-note performance. But it suits the role.
The movie is NOT derivative.
NOR is it stupid or boring.
It's reasonable to object that its style can be alienating or that it alienates you specifically, but many people say the same of BETTER OF DEAD or AIRPLANE!
The movie is not a work of genius. But it's an interesting, funny movie with an idiosyncratic style.
I wish there were more like it. -
I completely agree with you there mate, i've seen the original and i think its top (especially the clever scene where he sells the car back to the dealer). I read through the thread too hoping to see someone else would notice the remake theme running again.
-
I agree with you Stomm. No Terry-Thomas, no point.
-
Anger management. Zoolander was funny and stillers performances with the wilson brothers are funny but he is such an ego maniac. stiller is making a film starring himself as a character who becomes ben stiller and the two meet up.
-
It was made during the time that the whole "uncool as cool" thing was getting really popular. I saw it again the other day and can seriously see the huge gimmick in this film. Maybe it's just the way it was marketed that made me dislike it. The way it played on the one HUGE gimmick and that was it. and the fact that dumb frat boys loved the film and would quote it many times over...and over...and over...and over...and over. So maybe that had something to do with it.
But I doubt it. I seriously think it's because the movie isn't all that hilarious and is obviously and blatantly doing the "nerdy and geeky and incredibly idiotic is cool" schtick that I barely have time for.
oh and maybe jon heder can act- he just needs to do something to show it.
eh, ooooooor maybe he can't.
peace. -
And Napoleon Dynamite is so far from a great movie, I dont even want to go there. Yes it was clean and there was some funny (Smile worthy, not Laugh out loud funny) moments in Napoleon Dynamite. I dont hate that film, in fact I would reccomend it to people to at least see once. John Heder seems to be capitalizing off it, which is cool for him, seriously that's good. But I certainly am not going to be seeing this movie, and Billy Bobs Tupe' really fucking scares me.
-
quit supporting this garbage.
-
Uncle Rico's 1982 shirts and ND's dancing were comedy gold. The only bum note was ND's older brother who came across as more of a SNL caricature and was not at all in keeping with the rest of the low-key performances. Vote for Pedro, bitches.
