Grimsby: New trailers released

Sacha Baron Cohen's next movie

Two new trailers have been released for Sacha Baron Cohen's new comedy Grimsby.

The title has been changed in the UK from its previous name The Brothers Grimsby, and a release date of February confirmed.

Meanwhile a separate trailer has been made for the US release, on March 11, retaining the Brothers Grimsby title:

In Grimsby, Mark Strong plays MI6 spy Sebastian Graves who is on a mission to prevent a massive global terror attack, with Baron Cohen as his long-lost brother Nobby, a 'sweet but dimwitted' English football hooligan.

The blurb for the film says: 'Nobby has everything a man from Grimsby could want, including 11 children and the most gorgeous girlfriend in the northeast of England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian, for whom Nobby has been searching for 28 years, after they were separated as kids. Nobby sets off to reunite with Sebastian, unaware that not only is his brother MI6's deadliest assassin, he's just uncovered plans for an imminent global terrorist attack.'

The film is directed by action movie expert Louis Leterrier, whose credits include the first two Transporter films, and was written by Baron Cohen, Phil Johnston and Peter Baynham,.

Grimsby also stars Isla Fisher, Annabelle Wallis, Penélope Cruz, and Ian McShane. Johnny Vegas also has a role as one of Nobby's drinking buddies.

The film is unlikely to do the Lincolnshire town's reputation much good; being portrayed as a rainy place 'twinned with Chernobyl' full of boarded-up shops where children push their drunk fathers home along litter-strewn streets

Here is a new poster for the film, too:
