A murder mystery party goes to the extreme in the Game Night trailer

Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line have released the first trailer for their upcoming action-comedy Game Night, starring Jason Bateman (Horrible Bosses, Arrested Development) and Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams (Spotlight, Doctor Strange, True Detective). The film will open in theaters on March 2, 2018. Check out the Game Night trailer in the player below!

Joining Bateman and McAdams in the cast are Billy Magnussen (Bridge of Spies, American Crime Story), Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe), Lamorne Morris (New Girl), Kylie Bunbury (Under the Dome), Jesse Plemons (Black Mass, Fargo), Chelsea Pereti (Brookyn Nine-Nine), Danny Huston (Wonder Woman), with Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under) and Kyle Chandler (Manchester by the Sea, Bloodline).

Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.

Game Night is directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Vacation) from a script by Mark Perez (Accepted).
