Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler in The House (2017)
Ferrell and Poehler Go Full Scarface in The House Red Band Trailer
Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler in The House (2017)
With just a month and a half left until the R-rated summer comedy The House hits theaters, New Line Cinema has debuted an outrageous new red band trailer. This age-restricted video contains much more footage that the first trailer, showing what really happens when these loving parents, played by Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler, catch someone cheating. The result is much more bloody and hilarious than the version shown in the all-ages trailer, but if you're averse to a lot of blood being shown, you may want to look away towards the end of this footage, because it gets rather gruesome.

Warner Bros. debuted this red band trailer on YouTube today, which opens with a scene where Scott and Kate Johansen (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) are celebrating their daughter Alex's (Ryan Simpkins) graduation, by describing the "f--- fest" their house will become, once their daughter leaves for college.

James Franco: 20 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About The 'Homefront' Star
Since starring in Judd Apatow's short-lived series "Freaks and Geeks" (1999), James Franco has done just about everything.

The 34-year-old renaissance man has an undergraduate degree from UCLA, among other diplomas. He's been nominated for an Academy Award, and even (sort of) hosted the awards in 2011. Professionally, Franco has acted in a long list of movies, directed several others, and even written roughly a dozen plus screenplays.

Starting today, November 27, multi-hyphenate Franco can be seen facing off against Jason Statham in the Sylvester Stallone-penned action flick "Homefront." Franco plays Gator, a small-town meth kingpin who butts heads with Statham, a former DEA agent who shows up in Franco's town to finally settle down with his family.

Do you already know more about Franco than you'd care to? Maybe. Do you know everything there is to know about the man? Unlikely. From his middle-school shoplifting days to that time he shadowed a male prostitute,...

James Franco and His Entire Family to Star in a Movie?
James Franco's younger brother, Dave, has appeared in such films as "Charlie St Cloud" and "Greenberg." But he is probably best known for his work with James in a series of FunnyOrDie videos called "Acting With James Franco." Dave now tells MTV that he plans to make a feature film that will star his entire family, including his brother. He said: "There's a feature film that I'm writing for my brother and I to star in, where we play versions of ourselves named Davie and James." He added: "Without giving away too much, it all takes place around Thanksgiving and Christmas break around our hometown of Palo Alto [California]. Our real family will be in it, my real friends from home will be in it, and the vibe of it is going to be an extended version of our FunnyOrDie videos. It's going to be difficult for me, because it's...
