Andy Samberg and Kit Harington play out the tennis match for the ages in a new trailer for the HBO mockumentary “7 Days in Hell.”
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s” Samberg plays hot-headed tennis star Aaron Williams, while “Game of Thrones” star Harington plays British tennis prodigy Charles Poole. The two come together for a historic match that John McEnroe calls “nothing short of a miracle” in the trailer.
Tennis superstar Serena Williams, who appears as herself, says that her family adopted Williams in a “reverse ‘Blind Side.’”
“You know, a rich white family gets a black kid makes him play football,” Williams said. “Well we flipped it. See, my dad took a white kid and made him play tennis.”
The cast also features Lena Dunham, Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Karen Gillan, Soledad O’Brien, Howie Mandel, Michael Sheen, Mary Steenburgen and June Squibb.
The movie is written by Murray Miller and directed by “Saturday Night Live” alum Jake Szymanski.
“7 Days in Hell” premieres July 11 on HBO.
