Right after debuting at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, the trailer for Hollywood’s first R-rated CG animated film comedy Sausage Party has been released!
Set in a supermarket, Sausage Party – directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon – tells the story of one sausage leading a group of other food products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they become chosen to leave the grocery store…. which (to their horror) involves being eaten.
Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera lend their voice to the titular sausages, while Kristin Wiig voices the hot dog bun.
“I’m even shocked, and we made it,” said Rogen of the project after the film’s work-in-progress screening at SXSW.
Other comedy notables featured in Sausage Party, from writers Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir, include James Franco, Craig Robinson, Nick Kroll, Bill Hader, Danny McBride, Paul Rudd, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton and Salma Hayek.
Sausage Party is out on August 12th. Check out the redband (NSFW) trailer below!
