Vince Vaughn and James Marsden are ready to fix the past in the trailer for Hulu‘s time-travel movie Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice.
The streamer is set to release writer-director BenDavid Grabinski’s R-rated action-comedy feature March 27 following its premiere later this month at SXSW. Eiza González, Keith David, Jimmy Tatro, Stephen Root, Lewis Tan, Ben Schwartz, Emily Hampshire and Arturo Castro round out the cast for the project that hails from 20th Century Studios.
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice centers on gangsters Mike (Marsden) and Nick (Vaughn) attempting to survive a wild night with the woman whom they both love (González) as they all learn about the existence of a working time machine.
“I came back in a time machine,” Vaughn says in the trailer. “I want to try to right some wrongs here. But there is a person that could fuck this whole thing up, and that person is me.”
Later, Vaughn adds, “The first time that we went through tonight, Mike died. But that’s why I’m back. We get one chance to fix it.”
Grabinski (Happily) helmed the film from his own script. Andrew Lazar produces Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, while Richard Middleton and Vanessa Humphrey serve as executive producers.
Vaughn led last year’s Netflix feature Nonnas, and he stars in this summer’s Warner Bros. comedy Animal Friends and the forthcoming second season of Apple TV’s Bad Monkey. Marsden, who earned an Emmy nomination for Jury Duty, stars on the Hulu series Paradise and can soon be seen in Avengers: Doomsday and Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter from last year, Vaughn discussed why comedy movies haven’t seemed to be a priority for studios in recent years.
“I always hear stuff like, ‘People have a TV,’ but horror movies continue to open [at the box office],” the star said at the time about competition for viewers’ free time. “The people who go to horror movies don’t have a television? Or is it something that’s a little more dangerous, and there’s an audience that wants that community experience. And if that’s true, potentially it wouldn’t just be horror or action that people would want that community experience for.”
