D Films + Mr. Will want to take Readers to see an Advance Screening of THE GIFT! All screenings take place in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Halifax on Wednesday, August 5, 2015.

Official Synopsis:

Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel Edgerton) at first, but after a seemingly coincidental series of encounters proves troubling, a horrifying secret from their past is uncovered after nearly 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

Basically, I ROFLd all through 2012′s Horrible Bosses and I am certain from the likes of it, it pretty much will be the same seeing HORRIBLE BOSSES 2!

A Teaser Trailer for the Sequel has just surfaced and the laughs just seem to pick-up where they left-off last time. I personally loved Jennifer Aniston as the sex-crazed Boss of Charlie Day‘s Dale and she’s up to her old tricks yet again here.  Read our Chat with Sudeikis back in 2011 as he was in-town promoting Horrible Bosses.

See the Teaser:

Official Synopsis:
When he finds a loophole in the rules and regulations of the National Quill Spelling Bee, Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman), a 41-year-old High School Dropout, enters. Cranky, badly-behaved and foul-mouthed, he’s determined to win at all costs.

He gets through the regionals, then, at the national level, he meets young competitor Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), a sweet, innocent oy who doesn’t seem to notice Guy‘s nasty demeanour.

An investigative journalist finally uncovers Guy‘s true motivation for competing.
