Warner Bros.has drop the first trailer forGame Nightonline , and the big teaser here is what exact tone the motion-picture show is supposed to be going for . Kyle Chandler barely has time to set up the game ’s premise ( and by filename extension the movie ’s assumption ) before he ’s being beaten , tied up and cart off by apparent kidnappers . Max , Annie and the gang clearly think this is all part of the game and go on happily munching cheeseflower on the couch , but the open implication is that things have already begin die down a dark path .

Twisted laughable weirdness seems to be the fiat of the day , as the trailer tease the mounting insanity that bechance our heroes . Brooks is tied up in a way , and Annie is waving a gun around like it ’s a toy … until the gun goes off and shoots Max in the arm . But that only makes Max scream " rakehell ! " like he still is n’t sure he ’s really been buck or is just survive through a fit in a sappy black comedy . It gets nuttier when Annie is face by an apparent uncollectible guy who , right after make a crude commentary about her body that she demand as a weird compliment , gets sucked into a jet locomotive . Annie ’s answer can only be discover as humorously odd .

This first shot at a puzzle seems to promise aHangover - style drollery : veritable people being confronted with increasingly outre , dangerous circumstances and reacting in ways that do n’t necessarily jibe with normal human doings . Directors Daley and Goldstein did n’t exactly knock it out of the park with their last movie , theill - advisedVacationrebootstarring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate , and here it looks like they ’re basically go down the same slapstick road .
