The annals of cinema history are awash with time travel movies of all stripes. Adventure ones (Back To The Future<\/a>), romantic ones (About Time<\/a>), weepie ones (The Time Traveler’s Wife<\/a>), noodle-twisting ones (Primer<\/a>), anime ones (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time<\/a>), action ones (The Terminator<\/a>), hot tub ones (er, Hot Tub Time Machin<\/a>e) \u2014 you get the gist. We’re fairly sure however that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off<\/a> writer-creator BenDavid Grabinski’s upcoming Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice \u2014 in which Vince Vaughn and James Marsden play criminal best buds who use a time machine to kidnap a past Vince Vaughn \u2014 is the first gangster-action-comedy time travel movie. Pretty sure, anyway. Check out the trailer below;<\/p>\n

The tagline for Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (James Marsden is Mike, Vince Vaughn is Nick and Nick, and Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez is Alice FYI) promises “a time-traveling, double-crossing, ass-kicking comedy”, and if the trailer is anything to go by then it looks like BenDavid Grabinski has set himself well to deliver on that promise. In just a couple of minutes here we get Vaughn’s present day Nick prepping Marsden’s Mike to chloroform past Nick; we get past Nick scrapping with Mike; we get the introduction of a cannibal assassin called The Baron (played by Vaughn’s Dodgeball<\/a> co-star Stephen Root); we get Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez kicking ass as the love of both Mike and Nick’s lives; and we get the obligatory in-universe acknowledgement that time machines and time travel are actually pretty far-fetched so that we can relax and enjoy the wild ride without faffing about with scientific plausibility. What more could you want, eh?<\/p>\n

The official logline for the movie \u2014 which also stars Keith David, Jimmy Tatro, Lewis Tan, Ben Schwartz, Emily Hampshire, and Arturo Castro \u2014 reads: “[Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice] is a hilarious, stylized, R-rated action-comedy about two gangsters and the woman they love trying to survive the most dangerous night of their lives. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, there\u2019s one wild ingredient added to the mix: a time machine.”<\/p>\n

Can Nick save himself, his best pal, and the woman that he loves from… himself? Will The Baron chow down on a filet Mike-gnon before the night is through? And is Alice destined to choose Mike? Or Nick? Or Nick? Or neither? We’ll find out the answer to those questions and more when we untangle our brains and sit down to watch Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice on Disney+ on 27 March. Man, if only we had a time machine so we could watch it sooner…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The annals of cinema history are awash with time travel movies of all stripes.
