In the Beginning There Was the Trailer for 'Year One'

8:40 PM / Posted by Bradford Oman /

Today shall go down as Super Bowl TV spot Saturday. Earlier we had a look at some prehistoric family entertainment with the Super Bowl spot for Land of the Lost. Here we are with the first glimpse at this year's other prehistoric comedy, Year One. The spot doesn't function so much as a trailer, but rather an extended clip introducing us into Jack Black and Michael Cera's characters and well as introducing us to Paul Rudd and David Cross as the biblical brother duo Cain and Abel. Written by Egon Spengler himself Harold Ramis (also directing), as well as writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupinsky (from NBC's The Office) the film is very reminiscent of Monty Python and the Holy Grail with its tongue-in-cheek presentation of events in pre-history and the Bible. This one looks like a lot of fun, and similar to Monty Python, will probably function more like a series of sketches connected by Cera and Black's journeying through the year one and meeting curious characters along the way.
