Yes, this is real — and it’s SPECTACULAR.
We learned earlier this year that Marshawn Lynch would be making his Hollywood debut, but even knowing that we weren’t ready for what happened on Tuesday when Lynch dropped the trailer for Bottoms.
The team behind the movie made Pitch Perfect and Cocaine Bear, so you know EXACTLY where this one is falling tonally. The movie itself is a mash-up of some wild source material judging from the trailer and press releases.
At its heart Bottoms is about two queer high school students who start a fight club in order to have sex before graduation. So it’s a little bit like American Pie and Fight Club, but there are also elements of Heathers in this too — and lots of blood, and Marshawn reading a copy of “Divorced & Happy” magazine.
Lynch serves as the teen’s fight club instructor, which is the part he was born to play. Already this is looking like it has potential to be very good, and certainly much better than Brett Favre in There’s Something About Mary.
