The Goods Trailer Starring Jeremy Piven
While high mercury levels supposedly kept Jeremy Piven from fulfilling his duties on Broadway last year, health concerns didn’t keep him from shooting The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, an upcoming movie from Will Ferrell’s production company that could be his biggest starring role since PCU! Clearly Piven has been typecast as a fast-talking salesman ever since he started playing Ari Gold on Entourage, and that’s why he was perfect to headline this comedy about car salesmen. The red band trailer has hit the interweb this week, and I gotta say, it looks pretty damn funny.
In addition to Piven, the casting is solid all the way through, from David Koechner, Ving Rhames, James Brolin and Kathryn Hahn to Alan Thicke and even Will Ferrell himself (he played a great car salesman in Eastbound & Down). Ed Helms and Ken Jeong are also involved, and after people see their performances in The Hangover, I think they will only add to the buzz for this film. The Goods hits theatres on August 14th, and if Paramount Vantage plays their cards right, they may have another surprise summer comedy hit on their hands. Check out the trailer below and see what you think.
