I’m sure after Bridesmaids hit you were wondering what movie you could see the very funny Melissa McCarthy in next. Well after a slew of offers she decided to take up Seth Gordon’s (Horrible Bosses) new film, Identity Thief, where she plays a woman who steals identities in order to pay for her fun lifestyle. When she steals Jason Bateman‘s identity he decides to go after her in order to bring her to justice. In an over-the-top battle of wits and action, Bateman realizes it’s a lot more difficult to bring in a rowdy and strong-willed woman than he initially thought, resulting in nothing but hilarious chaos.
Set for release of February 8 ,2013, Identity Thief also stars Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick and Eric Stonestreet
Check out the laugh out loud trailer below and be sure to let your friends know that Melissa McCarthy is back and with a ridiculous southern swag.
P.S. I hope my boy T.I. debuts a new song in the film too, that would make it so much better.
Horrible Bosses’ Jason Bateman and Bridesmaids’ Melissa McCarthy lead the cast of Identity Thief, an all-star comedy in which a regular guy is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.
Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson”… and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.
With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Directed by Horrible Bosses’ Seth Gordon, Identity Thief is produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), Bateman and Pamela Abdy (upcoming 47 Ronin). The comedy co-stars Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick and Eric Stonestreet.
