Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie Red Band Trailer: Sick Show, Great Job!

Every once in a while it’s nice to see a “red band trailer” that could possibly disturb somebody. Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie does just that, as well as build nicely upon Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim’s Adult Swim series Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, which ran for five seasons. In the trailer for the new movie, which will premiere at Sundance, we watch as Tim and Eric don fetching khakis, sever a finger, astound Zach Galifiankis, reveal a staggering sex toy and “honor their love” for each other. Disgusting and undeniably funny. More Tim %26 Erics Billion Dollar Movie Videos I love the list of guest-stars: Will Ferrell, Jeff Goldblum, Will Forte, Zach Galifianakis — pretty esteemed company. I’m curious as to how a duo this irreverent and ridiculous can sustain a 90-minute feature, but it appears that random moments of naughty whizzbang will be key. I’m not sure anything can top the majesty of Paul Rudd’s Tim and Eric guest-spot as Celery Man, but I have to admit this is one of the Sundance selections I most look forward to watching. Or Maybe I’ll wait to catch it at the S’Wallow Valley Mall. · Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie [IGN] Follow Louis Virtel on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
