Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Red Band Trailer (2016)

Red Band Trailer for Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

Universal Pictures’ Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is headlined by musical digital-shorts superstars Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, collectively known as The Lonely Island. The comedy goes behind the scenes as singer/rapper Conner4Real (Samberg) faces a crisis of popularity after his sophomore album flops, leaving his fans, sycophants and rivals all wondering what to do when he’s no longer the dopest star of all.

The latest comedy from blockbuster producer Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Superbad, Knocked Up) co-stars Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows and Maya Rudolph and many of the biggest names in comedy and music in cameo performances. Co-directed by Schaffer and Taccone and written by The Lonely Island trio, Popstar is also produced by Rodney Rothman (producer of Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall; co-writer of 22 Jump Street), as well as Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone.

Although Director Akiva Schaffer has lots of experience Directing SNL special episodes throughout the years, this will only be his third feature film. The other being The Watch and Hot Rod (also starring Andy Samberg).

Andy Samberg, who also is a Writer on this film will be collaborating for the first time with comedy veteran, Producer Judd Apatow.

Talk about a cast, Andy Samberg sure does know a lot people in Hollywood through all his years at SNL and it looks like every single one of them is in this film. It is kind of funny to see real life singers playing themselves and commenting on how talented Connor (Andy Samberg) is. This looks to be an outlandish over the top funny film where the crazy humor reminds me a bit of one of Andy's funniest films That's My Boy...except here is not playing quite a serious role. All in all based on this trailer I think this film will pack plenty of laughs.
