Will Ferrell and Zach
Galifianakis join the political fray in Warner Bros.' new comedy “The Campaign”
from director Jay Roach (“Meet the Fockers”).
Synopsis:
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe
before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a
rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district.
Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), director of the local
Tourism Center.
At
first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help
of his new benefactors’ support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family’s
political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic
Cam plenty to worry about.
As
election day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly
escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this
mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy that takes today’s political
circus to its logical next level. Because even when you think campaign
ethics have hit rock bottom, there’s room to dig a whole lot deeper.
“The
Campaign” stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott and Katherine LaNasa, with John
Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd and Brian Cox. Directed by Jay Roach and written by Chris
Henchy & Shawn Harwell, from a story by Adam McKay & Chris Henchy &
Shawn Harwell, it is produced by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Jay Roach and Zach
Galifianakis. Amy Sayres, Jon Poll and Chris Henchy serve as executive
producers.
Opening
across the Philippines this August, “The Campaign” will be distributed by
Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
