Paramount Pictures has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming comedyOffice Christmas Party. Directed byJosh GordonandWill Speck, the filmmakers behindThe SwitchandBlades of Glory, the ensemble comedy revolves around a titular office Christmas party thrown to potentially salvage their branch after the CEO threatens to shut them down. Their only way to remain open is to woo a potential client with the be-all, end-all party of the century. The film has a script byJustin Malen(Trophy Wife),Laura Solon(Hot in Cleveland), andDan Mazer(Borat), but it’s really a performance showcase for its talented comedic ensemble.
This new trailer is another tease of a various shenanigans that ensue at the titular party, and many of them involve violent or dangerous stunts. There’s certainly a place for party movies, and just last yearThe Night Beforeoffered a refreshing twist on the Christmas movie genre, so it’ll be interesting to see ifOffice Christmas Partybrings something worthwhile to the table.
Check out the new trailer below. The film starsJason Bateman,Jennifer Aniston,Courtney B. Vance,T.J. Miller,Olivia Munn,Kate McKinnon,Rob Corddry,Vanessa Bayer,Randall Park, andJillian Bell.Office Christmas Partyopens in theaters on December 9th.
