“Drunk Dancing” Clip From Paul Feig’s ‘The Heat’ – Starring Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy
Jun 19th
Yahoo! Movies has set loose this latest clip from the upcoming comedy ‘The Heat.’ From Paul Feig, the director of ‘Bridesmaids,’ ‘The Heat’ is pencilled in for a June 28th release in the US and July 31st bow in the UK. Alongside Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, the film co-stars the likes of Demian Bichir, Tony Hale, Spoken Reasons, Taran Killam, Kaitlin Olson and Michael Rapaport.
Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence – and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.’s “finest,” is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.
