LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart star in a new trailer for Get Hard.
Ferrell, 47, portrays James King, a businessman sentenced to 10 years in a maximum security prison. The character hires Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) to teach him how to survive the ordeal, but falsely assumes Darnell has experience as an inmate.
Get Hard is directed by Etan Cohen, a screenwriter known for King of the Hill, Tropic Thunder and Idiocracy. Edwina Findley also stars as Darnell's wife Rita, with appearances by Alison Brie, Craig T. Nelson and T.I. The movie opens in theaters March 27.
Ferrell last portrayed Eric Jonrosh on IFC miniseries The Spoils of Babylon, and is scheduled for James Franco film Zeroville and Zoolander sequel Zoolander 2. Hart will reprise Ben Barber for Ride Along 2, and star with Dwayne Johnson in Central Intelligence.
