Warner Bros. has just released four
new character banners for its upcoming comedy “The Campaign” starring Will
Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.

Two of the banners, specifically,
those featuring Ferrell and Galifianakis in extreme close-up, are geared for
the international market including the Philippines. The other two, which have
an iconic American election theme, are meant for the domestic US crowd.
Directed by Jay Roach, “The
Campaign” also stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott and Katherine LaNasa, with
John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd and Brian Cox. The election comedy bows in the
Philippines this August.
In the film, 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” is distributed in the Philippines
by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
