In 2010, the Danish comedy Klown pushed the boundaries of taste and decency. Now six years later, the duo of Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen return, this time travelling to Los Angeles, in Klown Forever, which also brings back director Mikkel Nørgaard. Today, Drafthouse Films have released the first trailer for Klown Forever, and it certainly gives a sense as to the questionable taste that will be on full display when the sequel opens in theaters and on VOD services on September 2nd, 2016.
Of course, we could always parse over the details of this trailer, but for the purposes of public decency I feel it’s best to just allow you to dive into this brief glimpse into the madness of Klown Forever as opposed to sullying my good fingers by typing out some of the odder aspects of this trailer. One thing is for certain, though, Klown Forever is obviously not for uptight prudes or the easily offended. Here’s hoping you can stomach it.
The official synopsis for Klown Forever:
Klown Forever follows estranged best friends Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam as they travel to the States seeking fame, fortune and friendship, only to immediately dive head-first into an impressive array of wildly inappropriate misadventures and unforgettably mortifying social situations.
When Casper attempts to break into Hollywood, Frank follows him to Los Angeles, seeing an opportunity to salvage their strained relationship. As the guys come face-to-face with a number of LA’s denizens-including Isla Fisher, Adam Levine and “Game of Thrones'” star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau-it’s clear that they’re equally ready and willing to take on Hollywood…but is Hollywood prepared for Casper and Frank?
A reunion with Klown director Mikkel Nørgaard, Klown Forever sees the series, best described as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” as directed by Lars von Trier, reach ingenious new heights–and stoop to gut-wrenchingly hilarious lows.
