In early July ‘09, the world was informed that Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine — stars of prematurely-canceled hits Firefly and Reaper — would be starring together in a horror comedy called Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Now the movie has a little visual accompaniment with the discovery of the film’s trailer. This particular trailer apparently was first making rounds back in October via Bloody-Disgusting, but that run eluded these very eyes, and so it is here now if you missed it as I did!
The movie follows Tucker and Dale, two simpleton rednecks who are about to experience the “wrong place, wrong time” stigma to its most extreme level. When the duo discovers an abandoned cabin, they think it’s their luckiest of days, but when a string of mishaps leads a group of college kids to think that Tucker and Dale are vicious serial killers, the pair fall victim to the dreaded world of stereotypes and must find a way to set things right.
This trailer looks like it might just be a leaked version or a very early online peek, and it also could be considered NSFW, so click on over at your own risk to see it while you still can!
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is directed by Eli Craig, who is the director of the The Tao of Pong and also the son of Sally Field. There is no word yet on when we might see this film in a wide release, but it is slated to appear at this year’s Sundance Film Festival next month and if I had to guess it will likely be out sometime this Summer — Fall at the very latest.

Actually they bought the cabin as there summer home and think the kids are a suicide cult.
Looks funny, but I think we just saw the whole movie.
