‘Napoleon Dynamite’, ‘Nacho Libre’ Director Returns For ‘Don Verdean’! Watch The First Trailer!

Briefly: I am so happy to see the Hess’s back in action.

I know that a lot of folks thought that Jared and Jerusha went off the deep end with 2009’s fabulous and super weird Gentlemen Broncos. Those folks, however, are dead wrong. Saying that the Hess’s went off the deep end implies that they weren’t there to begin with, and the fact that they embrace the completely absurd projects that the create have lead to some of the most heartfelt, quirky, and quotable comedies of our generation.

I also really miss the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon. Anyone else with me on that one?

In any case, the first trailer for the Jared Hess directed, Jared & Jerusha written Don Verdean has just hit the web, and if you’ve seen a single one of the Hess’s previous films, you know exactly what you’re getting into.

It’s weird as hell, and it looks insanely hilarious.

This time around, we’ll join Sam Rockwell, Amy Ryan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Bibb, Will Forte and Danny McBride as they uncover the world’s most sacred relics. “Hired by an ambitious small-town pastor to find sacred relics in the Holy Land, a self-proclaimed Biblical archaeologist comes up short and his attempt to cover up his failure fuels a comic conspiracy from the filmmaking team behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.” Yep. Hilarious.

Take a look at the first trailer for Don Verdean below, and let us know what you think! Are a you a fan of the Hess’s previous projects? Sound out below!

Don Verdean hits theatres and On Demand December 11th!
