Moss from The IT Crowd Has a Posse



Remember Attack the Block, the movie about aliens invading a poor London neighborhood and how a group of young street hooligans banded together to 1) save it and 2) beat the shit out of some aliens? Well, imagine that movie, but in an American suburb and with mostly middle-class white people, and you have The Watch. It stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill, and is so mainstream as to negate the nerdiness of its alien invasion premise, but it also stars Richard Ayoade, better known as Moss from The IT Crowd, which raises the movie’s nerd quotient considerably. He’s making his big-budget U.S. comedy movie debut, and he’s so awesome that I genuinely hope the film is hilarious and mega-successful… although after watching this international trailer I admit to having a few doubts. Still, Moss! Getting fourth billing to Stiller, Vaughn and Jonah Hill! It’s a start, right? (Via First Showing)
