Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista Get Beat Up, a Lot, in the ‘Stuber’ Red Band Trailer (Video)

The Venn diagram of “people who love watching violence and swearing and buddy comedies” and “people who hate the gig economy” is a perfect circle Friday night, thanks to the new red band trailer for the Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista action-comedy “Stuber.” You can watch it above.
The film follows Stu (Nanjiani), an Uber driver thrust into terrible danger after he picks up Vic (Bautista), a grizzled police detective who drags Stu into his scheme to catch a brutal killer. Stu must survive the horrible ordeal and work with Vic while struggling to hold on to a five star rating. Fun stuff! (Except for the fact that Stu is presumably a contract employee without health insurance.)
The main takeaway from the trailer is that these guys get beat up pretty badly over the course of their adventures together. We particularly love the moment when Bautista pulls a move that a normal action hero would unrealistically shrug off, only to (apparently) end up really badly injured.
Directed by Michael Dowse and written by Tripper Clancy, “Stuber” also stars Iko Uwais, Natalie Morales, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino and Karen Gillan. It hits theaters July 12.
Kansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub said kicker Harrison Butker may be removed from kickoffs. But not because of Butker's recent controversial remarks.
Olympic gold medal and two-time NCAA champion wrestler Gable Steveson has signed with the Buffalo Bills. He'll attempt to make the team as a defensive tackle.
The New Orleans Pelicans have opted not to take the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round pick in this year's NBA Draft as part of the Anthony Davis trade. The Pelicans will take the Lakers' pick next year.
All five of these hitters were drafted highly in fantasy baseball leagues. So far, they have not lived up to their ADPs — and that's an understatement. Scott Pianowski analyzes.
