Trailer for Will Ferrell Comedy The Campaign Arrives

The trailer for new Will Ferrell comedy The Campaign (known previously as Dog Fight and Rivals) has arrived, and it looks hilarious. Ferrell portrays Cam Brady (playing the familiar role of an egotistical public face challenged with a rival, a la Anchorman and Talladega Nights), an un-rivalled politician from North Carolina – only un-rivalled, however, because there have been no other contenders. One day, Marty Huggins (The Hangover’s Zach Galifianakis) comes onto the scene to represent the small community’s congressional district at the United States House of Representatives, and the two find themselves caught in a bitter race for power in anticipation of an upcoming election. The project is directed by Jay Roach (director of the Austin Powers trilogy and Meet the Parents), and so combined with this winning cast will guarantee hilarity.

The Campaign will be released on 28th September 2012 in the UK.
