Red Band Trailer for 'Let's Be Cops' Hits the Street

20th Century Fox is hoping they can capture some of the magic they've found on New Girl and bring it to the silver screen with the R-rated comedy Let's Be Cops. New Girl stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. lead what looks to be a silly buddy comedy about two friends who dress up as cops and, addicted to the power and fame it brings, decide to live it up. That is until they get in the middle of an actual crime involving dirty cops and gangsters, and must stumble their way out of the mess.

The latest red band trailer suggests a mindless and raunchy romp with a terrific supporting cast of Rob Riggle (22 Jump Street), Keegan-Michael Key, Andy Garcia, James D'Arcy, and Nina Dobrev. Johnson's been steadily building up indie cred with Safety Not Guaranteed and Drinking Buddies, but will that carry over into something as wildly different as this? Directed by Luke Greenfield, Let's Be Cops opens August 13th.

Red Band Trailer for 'Let's Be Cops' Starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr.

When Jake Johnson starred in the pilot episode of Fox sitcom, New Girl, one of his co-stars was Damon Wayans Jr. Wayans split before the second episode and went off to star in Happy Endings until that show got cancelled. Wayans has since returned to New Girl, but that's not the only place we'll get to see him and Johnson pair up. The two are starring in this summer's buddy comedy, Let's Be Cops, and the first red band trailer for it has hit the streets.

Directed by Luke Greenfield (The Girl Next Door), the film gives both guys a chance to act ridiculous as two friends dressed as cops who are mistaken for real police. They take full advantage of the respect wearing blue earns them until they run into some genuine trouble.

Let's Be Cops opens August 13th.
