‘The Campaign’ Trailer: Ron Burgundy and Alan Go to Washington
Political discourse always becomes especially volatile during a presidential election year, and 2012 has proven to be no different. Hence, Warner Bros. is hoping to rope in anyone in the mood to let off some steam – and simply laugh at the often ridiculous nature of the electoral process, with this summer’s Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis laughfest, The Campaign.

Ferrell stars in The Campaign as incumbent North Carolina congressman Cam Brady, a popular candidate who seems assured for yet another term in office. That is, until Brady commits a major public faux pas that inspires a pack of wealthy CEOs to select their own puppet candidate as a replacement – in the form of local Tourism Center director Marty Huggins (Galifianakis)

Watching Ferrell and Galifianakis play off one another should be fairly entertaining; similarly, the supporting cast (Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, Brian Cox) reads as pretty solid overall.

The Campaign begins in theaters around the U.S. on August 10th, 2012.
