‘We’re the Millers’ Trailer: The Family That Smuggles Weed Together…
Family road trips gone awry are a staple of comedy — just ask Chevy Chase, who starred in National Lampoon’s Vacation, or Ed Helms, who’s set to lead the sequel. But We’re the Millers mixes up the formula a bit by making its lead family not really a family.
Jason Sudeikis leads the cast as a drug dealer tasked with smuggling weed into the country. As part of an elaborate plan to escape the notice of the U.S. border patrol, he gets a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend be his wife, and brings on two very different kids (Will Poulter and Emma Roberts) to play their offspring. Rawson Thurber (Dodgeball) directs. Watch the red- and green-band versions of the trailer after the jump.
It should go without saying that the red-band trailer is NSFW. Unless your boss is cool with you looking at a spider-bitten pair of testicles at work, maybe skip this one for now and scroll down for the green-band version.
The tamer edit cuts out most of the cursing and most of the testicular stuff, without losing too much of the humor.
We’re the Millers premieres August 9.
David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

Listen to Deap Vally’s “(She’s A) Wanderer”, their contribution to True Blood soundtrack
Okay, so HBO’s True Blood may have lost me when Sookie was revealed to be half-fairy, but goddamn if the show’s soundtracks don’t continue to impress. Music Supervisor Gary Calamar has a supernatural knack for pulling together killer musicians for one bloody good collection of songs, and the fourth such release packs as much bite as ever (and I’m done).
Over 14 tracks, there are unlikely bedfellows (Iggy Pop and Best Coast’s Bethany Costentino), ungodly covers (Jenny Lewis and The Animals’ Eric Burdon’s “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”), and rising up-and-comers (CoSigned duo Deap Vally).
On Deap Vally’s “(She’s A) Wanderer”, Julie Edwards lays down a sturdy strut of a beat while Lindsey Troy comes hard with deep stomps of reverb-dipped guitars. There’s some sweetness in the background vocals, but there’s this murky underbelly, making the cut and the show a fitting pair. Check it out below.
True Blood: Music from the HBO Original Series Volume 4 is due May 28th via ATO Records. Consult the complete tracklisting below.
True Blood: Music from the HBO Original Series Volume 4 Tracklist:
01. Eric Burdon and Jenny Lewis – “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”

Watch the trailer for Metallica’s 3D concert film, Through the Never
This morning, Metallica added fuel to their fiery hype machine by releasing an official full-length trailer for their forthcoming 3D film, Through the Never. As previously reported, the part concert film, part suspense thriller was written and directed by Nimród Antal (Kontroll, Predators) and stars Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) as a “young band crew member who is sent out on an urgent mission while the band is playing a rousing live set in front of a sold-out crowd and unexpectedly finds his world turned completely upside down.” Judging from the footage here, it would appear that the San Francisco veterans are huge fans of Escape from New York and simply wanted to answer: “What would be the best post-apocalyptic concert?” Also, goddamn does DeHaan look bad ass. Watch below.
Metallica: Through the Never will premiere first in North American IMAX theaters on September 27th before receiving an expanded release on October 4th.
EA Says Need for Speed Rivals' Open-World Chases Are Next-Gen Racing

‘Maniac’ US Trailer & Poster: Elijah Wood’s First Person Trip Into Madness
Though there have been multiple trailers released for Franck Khalfoun‘s remake of Maniac, and we’ve even seen the first few minutes of the movie, this marks the first time the official US release gets some love.
On June 21 IFC Midnight will release the film, which stars Elijah Wood as a deranged killer whose point of view makes up most of the movie. They’ve now released a trailer and brand new poster. Check them out below.
Head to Apple.com to see the trailer in HD. Thanks to Twitchfilm for the embed.
And here’s the poster.
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in the present day, MANIAC is a reboot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made. Frank (Elijah Wood, in a tour de force performance) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates and the number of victims increases, it becomes clear that Frank is far more dangerous than he seems. With a pulsating electronic score by Rob, the film is an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.
Washed Out announces sophomore album, Paracosm
Washed Out’s Ernest Greene will release his sophomore album, Paracosm, on August 13th via Sub Pop. The follow-up to his 2011 debut, Within and Without, “explores the album’s namesake phenomenon, where people create detailed imaginary worlds,” according to a press release.
Recorded by Greene and produced again by Ben Allen in Athens and Atlanta, GA, the new album features over 50 different instruments, including “old keyboards like the Mellotron, Chamberlin, Novatron, and Optigan.” Such relics assisted Greene in escaping into new creative avenues.
In anticipation of its release, Greene has shared a teaser trailer, which you can watch below. It’s vivid stuff.
He’ll also be appearing at a number of festivals this summer, with more tour dates forthcoming.

Watch The National on The Colbert Report
It’s been a whirlwind of a month for The National. In support of their Top Star-earning new album, Trouble Will Find Me, the band has appeared on Fallon and Letterman, participated in a Reddit AMA, performed “Sorrow” for six hours straight, and even spent the day with our own Michael Roffman.
The band’s media blitz continued last night on The Colbert Report, where they performed “Graceless” and “Sea of Love”. Frontman Matt Berninger also sat down with Stephen Colbert for a brief interview, answering whether his own experiences inspired the album’s title, how the band came to be so hip, and the meaning of the band’s name. (Spoiler: Berninger has only experienced “average human trouble,” he’s 42 and thus not hip, and The National doesn’t mean anything.) It may sound otherwise, but the interview was hysterical.
Update: The video for “Sea of Love” is not working at the moment.
