AceShowbiz - The first trailer for Warner Bros. and New Line's comedy "Fist Fight" has been released for fans' viewing pleasure. It features Charlie Day as a meek teacher named Andy Campbell who is challenged by Ice Cube's Ron Strickland to a fist fight on the last day of school.
"I'm gonna fight you," Ron challenges Andy. "Parking lot. After school. It's ON! I want everybody to see this." Andy responds, "I'm sorry. What?" He adds, "Teachers don't fight." The next minutes of the video show the students gathering in the parking lot as they are ready to witness the "biggest fight."
Set on the last day of the year, "Fist Fight" follows mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell who is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line.
However, things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland, who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
"Fist Fight" will arrive in U.S. theaters on February 17, 2017. Directed by Richie Keen from a screenplay written by Eva Susser and Van Robichaux, the upcoming comedy also stars Tracy Morgan, Christina Hendricks, Joanna Garcia, Dean Norris, Dennis Haysbert, Jillian Bell, Chanel Celaya and Kym Whitley.
