The folks at Moviefone today premiered the first trailer for Judd Apatow's latest comedy "Funny People."

In the film, Adam Sandler stars as George Simmons, a standup comedian whose life changes after he has a near-death experience.

Also starring are Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman. The film is due in theaters July 31, 2009.

Clocking in at more than three minutes, the trailer below is a little too long for my taste. I have nothing against a preview running for two minutes or so, but revealing too much of a story isn't that great either.

On the other hand, this footage really makes me want to see more. So far I've enjoyed every one of Apatow's flicks, and he's definitely somone who can take any idea and turn it into something special.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy Sandler an co. introducing "Funny People."
