'Get Him to the Greek' gets funny red band trailer

Nicholas Stoller's new comedy "Get Him to the Greek" will hit theaters June 4, 2010, and you can check out a new red band trailer for the flick right after the jump. First, let me say I adored Stoller's previous film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and that's also the reason why I have high hopes for this one. Lucilky, the new trailer is funny, even though a lot of footage is taken straight from its predecessor.

In the film, Jonah Hill plays Aaron Green, an assistant at a Los Angeles record company who flies to London and has 72 hours to bring back Aldous Snow, a crazy British rock star who's supposed to put on a big show at the famous Los Angeles Greek Theater. Only problem: Snow is completely nuts, and Green struggles to get his job done. Elisabeth Moss co-stars in the comedy. Have a laugh below.
