T.J. Miller appears as tubby Augie who gets a guided tour of Satan’s lair in the new red band trailer released Wednesday for the R-rated stop-motion animated comedy “Hell & Back”
Mila Kunis voices demon Deema, who leads the human visitors astray, while Bob Odenkirk is the devil, and Susan Sarandon plays Barb the Angel. Danny McBride, Rob Riggle, Jennifer Coolidge and Michael Peña also appear in the movie from the producers of Adult Swim’s stop-motion series “Robot Chicken” at ShadowMachine studio.
Yahoo Movies hosted the trailer release for the film, which is due in theaters Oct. 2, and posted an interview with Miller where the 34-year-old “Deadpool” and “Silicon Valley” star vowed that he would never do a serious drama.
“I’m not joking,” the comedian said. “I think that’s totally weird when someone becomes a great comedian — which I still have yet to do — and then they’re like, ‘OK, I’ve spent my whole life trying to make you guys laugh and now you have to watch me cry.’ It’s crazy. It’s totally stupid.”
A benefit to doing voice-over roles, however: “You don’t have to shower before you come into work.”
