Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Star In 'The Campaign' [Trailer]

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer and a new poster for The Campaign. Comedians Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star as political rivals gunning for the same North Carolina Congressional seat.  The film is directed by Jay Roach.

When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. The man they enlist is Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice, but with the help of his new benefactors’ support, a cutthroat campaign manager, and his family’s political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam Brady plenty to worry about.

The Campaign hits theaters August 10th, 2012.  Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis are joined by actors Jason Sudeikis, Sarah Baker, Katherine LaNasa, Brian Cox, Dylan McDermott and John Lithgow.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
