Lonely Island ‘Popstar’ Redband Trailer Is Dope 4 Real

The creative minds that dazzled SNL viewers with musical gems like “Jizz In My Pants” and “Dick In A Box” are back with full-length feature music-centric comedy ‘Popstar.’

My fans and me, we’re in love. The arena is our bedroom and the stage, the stage is where we F!@#. – Conner 4 Real

The Lonely Island, composed of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer, is taking their musically oriented antics to the big screen for a Judd Apatow (‘Trainwreck,’ ‘Superbad’) produced and star-studded mockumentary featuring a Beiber-emulating Samberg as a seemingly detached pop-star at the pinnacle of his success and decadence. And judging by this Redband trailer, it looks f!@#ing hilarious!

Immediately, Samberg’s above-quoted opening dialogue sets the shamelessly crude and in your face tone of the film. What is also apparent is The Lonely Island signature self-produced and often Feat. heavy stylings, which are just as current and catchy as always. Samberg really hams it up as Conner 4 Real, a Pop/Hip-Hop savant, who according to a cameo appearance by Simon Cowell, is “actually saving the record industry.” ‘Popstar’ basks in the excesses and eccentricities of our modern class of tabloid friendly rockstars, celebrities and socialites. It also picks at the behind-the-scenes ecosystem required to prop-up the modern popstar, from ghost songwriters, to gimmicky DJs, to ignorant entourages of ‘Yes-Men’.

With cameos from real-life pop-stars like Usher, Adam Levine and Pink to actors and comedians like Sarah Silverman, Bill Hader and Tim Meadows, ‘Popstar’ is definitely well-equipped for success. The music sounds epic, still maintaining a cheese factor signature to The Lonely Island, and the jokes seem plentiful. While we will have to wait and see just how well this musical mockumentary gets woven together, and if it could become this generation’s ‘Spinal-Tap,’ we can enjoy this f!@#$ing funny @ss Redband trailer.

The Lonely Island’s ‘Popstar’ hits theaters June 3rd, 2016.

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
