Video: New trailer released for Tour de Pharmacy mockumentary – and it’s bonkers

Film featuring Jeff Goldblum, Mike Tyson and Lance Armstrong among other debuts on 8 July

Remember the video trailer released recently for the forthcoming HBO mockumentary, Tour de Pharmacy? Well, a new extended length one has now hit YouTube, and it’s suitably bonkers.

The film is due to air in the US on 8 July – there’s no word yet on if or when it will screen in the UK – and features a host of stars including Kevin Bacon, Orlando Blum, Jeff Goldblum, Mike Tyson and even a cameo from Lance Armstrong.

> Video: Trailer unveiled for HBO's Tour de Pharmacy cycling mockumentary

Created by Andy Samberg and Murray Miller, it is directed by Jake Szymanski. According to a press release issued alongside the original trailer,

In 1982, during a dark and fictitious time in cycling history, the sport’s most venerable, time-honoured race was marred by the doping of virtually all of its competitors," says a press release.

Riddled with nefarious characters, that year’s competition was a hornet’s nest of moral depravity. Through the perspective of five riders, Tour de Pharmacy gives an inside look into the grim realities of the darkest event in a sport notoriously tainted by controversy.

Saw it yesterday. I wanted to like it it but there were only a couple of decent laughs. Lance was funnier than any of the actual actors.

What a cast, but what a lame trailer.

It could be indicative of what the film is like though. Comes across as very low hanging jokes with lots of teen appealing visual gags.

That is what the movie is like. What has led you to believe it pretends to be anything else?

You both come across as humourless nerks who probably whine about how offensive The Rules are. From the trailer it appears to be classic slapstick with funny cliched references. #lightenup
