Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson comedy

Here’s the first trailer for Late Night, the forthcoming comedy starring Emma Thompson as a ruthless talk show host.

It is written by co-starMindy Kaling and inspired by her experiences as the only female writer of colour on NBC’s version of The Office.

Thompson plays Brit Katherine Newbury, described as  ‘something of a dinosaur in the era of fratboy stand-up comedians and late-night talk show hosts’ who is at risk of losing her job.

The film was snapped up by Amazon for $13million at the Sundance Festival in January.
