The first trailer and poster for the upcoming R-rated comedy CHiPS has debuted online. Dax Shepard and Michael Pena lead the cast of the film as Jon Baker and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello in the new movie, which is based on the classic 1970s/80s TV show of the same name.
California motorcycle cops Baker and Ponch take down a criminal organization in the new comedy, which arrives in UK and US cinemas on March 24th.
“People like branded content in their movies. They only seem to leave their house to see a Lego [film] or a Marvel movie,” said Shepard of his film to The Hollywood Reporter recently. “Because people have awareness to that. The movie is very off-beat and a hard R and we thought it worked best as an event you would go leave your house to see.”
Shepard also directs and penned the screenplay. Rosa Salazar, Adam Brody, Kristen Bell and Vincent D’Onofrio are also amongst the cast.
The trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live just last night, and you can watch it in the player below.
