‘American Ultra’ – Official Red Band Trailer

The first trailer for American Ultra has premiered and it looks like it could be some stoner movie fun. Pretty much looks like Pineapple Express meets The Bourne Identity. Jessie Eisenberg plays a stoner store clerk who seems to get activated by a handler and starts fucking shit up, yet he doesn’t know how he is doing it all while high. Jessie teams up again with Kristen Stuart (Adventureland) playing his leading lady caught up in the action. Who’s ready for  some emotionless (to be fair I did see her smile in the trailer) and socially awkward stoner action comedy. I know I am!

Lionsgate’s American Ultra opens in theaters on Friday, August 21!

American Ultra is a fast-paced action comedy about Mike (Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Stewart), is suddenly turned upside down.  Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.
