[WATCH] ‘Stuber’ Trailer Pairs Dave Bautista With Kumail Nanjiani

Thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, we already know that Dave Bautista can throw jokes simply in addition to he can throw punches. As the primary trailer for the upcoming action-comedy Stuber revealed in April, nevertheless, his co-star Kumail Nanjiani appears to be like to be moving into the sport as properly. After all, tv reveals like Silicon Valley and films like The Big Sick have confirmed that Nanjiani is kind of the humorous man. But can he take a punch? Nay, an empty gun to the face? Per Stuber‘s newest trailer, the reply seems to be a painful “yes.”

Directed by Michael Dowse (Man Seeking Woman, Goon) and written by Tripper Clancy, Stuber appears to be like and seems like equal elements The Odd Couple, Lethal Weapon, and Uber industrial:

When a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) picks up a passenger (Dave Bautista) who seems to be a cop scorching on the path of a brutal killer, he’s thrust right into a harrowing ordeal the place he desperately tries to carry onto his wits, his life and his five-star score.

Whether or not the movie, which had a “work in progress” screening at this 12 months’s SXSW, seems to be closely funded by Uber is essentially irrelevant. Besides, rideshares are so commonplace now that, had Stuber been made one or twenty years earlier, it will have been a much more cheerful model of Michael Mann’s Collateral.

Stuber arrives in theaters on July 12th, 2019.
