Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes' Soul Men Trailer

The first trailer for the comedy Soul Men has hit and it's almost sad to watch, considering two of the film's prominent cast members passed away quite recently. The story doesn't help lighten the mood either: in honor of their recently deceased band leader, two estranged soul-singing legends (played by Bernie Mac and Samuel Jackson) decide to put on a reunion performance at the Apollo Theater. Unfortunately this trailer looks terrible, but maybe that's because it's not my type of humor. This has definitely gained buzz by being Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes' last big film together. So without any further ado, take a look below.

Soul Men is directed by Malcolm D. Lee, of Undercover Brother and Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins previously. The screenplay was penned by writing team Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone, of Life, Intolerable Cruelty, and Man of the House previously. The Weinstein Company is releasing Soul Men in theaters everywhere on November 7th later this year.

Looks pretty standard, actually, but I really like Bernie and Sam's chemistry. Will watch, definitely. And am I the only who also noticed (or at least I think) that that's Don LaFontaine's voice in the trailer? Bernie, Isaac, Don... Geez, Sam, whatchado, stare the Reaper in the face and say "You ain't talkin' me out of this, muddafucka"?
