I get the impression Joe Carnahan‘s Stretch is going to be closer to Smokin’ Aces than to Narc, which is alright with me, though I would love to see him deliver another gritty little feature like Narc.
Today, following a flurry of more clips, the first trailer for the upcoming release has arrived for your judgment.
Universal is going an interesting route with this one after pulling it from the release schedule earlier this year. Now the plan is to premiere it on iTunes and Amazon.com on October 7 followed by an On Demand release on October 14. Based on this it sounds like it won’t be hitting theaters at all. Too bad.
Stretch is described as an action comedy/thriller centering on a down-on-his-luck chauffeur (Patrick Wilson) looking to relieve himself of some debt when he starts working for a billionaire (Chris Pine) who makes his life hell. Also starring in the film are Ed Helms, Brooklyn Decker, David Hasselhoff, James Badge Dale, Ray Liotta and Eddie J. Fernandez.
Check out the trailer below.
