'Self Reliance' trailer teases a Jake Johnson comedy with Stephen King vibes
Hulu has dropped its trailer for the comedy "Self Reliance", directed by and starring Jake Johnson alongside Andy Samberg and Anna Kendrick.
On the surface, Jake Johnson's Self Reliance seems pretty similar to Stephen King's novel The Running Man (and Netflix’s King-inspired competition series Run for the Money). Both are about men entering a reality game show in which "hunters" try to kill them for 30 days and there's a large cash prize at the end. The difference? Johnson's Hulu film is a comedy, and the twist is the hunters can't get you when you're with someone else.
Enter Anna Kendrick as Johnson's fellow player/new friend for what is, per our Mashable review from Kristy Puchko, "an enthralling and wildly fun directorial debut."
We're looking forward to seeing Andy Samberg playing himself as a semi-villain, too.
How to watch: Self Reliance is streaming on Hulu from Jan. 12.
