The Trailer For Zach Galifianakis’ New Comedy ‘Masterminds’ Promises A ‘Ghostbusters’ Reunion

Despite the high pitched shrieking of the manbaby hive mind, the best thing by far about the new Ghostbusters movie is the work of its four main cast members. So naturally we’re pretty excited about a brand new crime comedy that reunites three out of four of them, alongside Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and a spectacularly mustachioed Jason Sudeikis.

Directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite fame, Masterminds is inspired (presumably quite loosely) by one of the largest ever cash robberies in American history. Galifianakis plays Louis Scott Ghantt, a bumbling security guard roped into a heist by Wilson and Kristen Wiig. Rounding out the cast is Sudeikis as an assassin, Kate McKinnon as Ghantt’s wife, and Leslie Jones as the FBI agent tasked with bringing them all down.

Masterminds was actually meant to be released this time last year, but has been in limbo ever since production company Relativity Media filed for bankruptcy. Of course in retrospect that delay may prove rather fortuitous, since we’re guessing that Jones and McKinnon are bigger draws now than they were a year ago. Speaking of which, this is the second time in less than a week that McKinnon has single-handedly stolen the trailer for an upcoming ensemble comedy.
