With the March 11 release date getting closer and closer forSony Pictures' comedyThe Brothers Grimsby, the studio has released the secondred band trailerfor this upcoming comedy starringSacha Baron Cohen. This new footage features some bizarre situations and some R-rated language, which shouldn’t be watched by viewers under the age of 18. In related news,Sacha Baron Cohenalso stopped byJimmy Kimmel Live!last night, where he debuted possibly one of the strangest clips in late-night TV history.
Before the clip airedJimmy Kimmelrevealed that they couldn’t show the whole clip on the air, since it is “extremely graphic,” so what they did was show a portion of this scene that was safe for TV, and then cut away to show TV viewers the audiences reaction to the scene. EvenJimmy Kimmeland Guillermo Rodriguez went into the audience to watch this apparently outrageous scene unfold. It’s worth noting that the MPAA almost gaveThe Brothers GrimsbyanNC-17rating, andSacha Baron Cohenrevealed at the end of the clip that there is an 8-minute version of that scene that had to be cut down. According toJimmy Kimmel, though, “they “didn’t cut enough,” with the host proclaiming “that wascompletely insane.”
MI6’s top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he’s an English football supporter (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There’s only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian.
