Two New 'The Campaign' Posters: Ferrell, Galifianakis, and PugsTwo New 'The Campaign' Posters: Ferrell, Galifianakis, and Pugs

Warner Bros. has released two new character posters for The Campaign, this summer's electoral comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.  Here in America, we don't just practice democracy.  Nope, we dig in our heels for a turbo-democracy, in which literally billions of dollars play into political campaigns built upon reductive soundbites, ludicrous attack ads, purposeful distortions, gaffes, and focus-group tested likability.  These two posters play into the inherent ridiculousness of modern campaigning with each acting a poster for the two candidates, Cam Brady and Marty Huggins.

The first one-sheet for The Campaign generically set up that Ferrell and Galifianakis play rivals competing for a Congressional seat, but both of these posters ratchet up the absurdity, as Brady poses with an inspiration bald eagle and Huggins inexplicably holds up two bewildered pugs.

Ferrell plays Brady, a longstanding North Carolina congressman who has never been challenged electorally and, like so many rock-solid Ferrell characters, has an entirely unearned sense of confidence and entitlement.  Huggins, meanwhile, is a naive imbecile with no political experience recruited by a pair of wealthy businessmen to exploit Brady's weaknesses and represent his longtime district.


Both posters debuted today at Yahoo! Movies.  To see the first official trailer from last month, click right here.

Ferrell and Galifianakis lead a cast that includes Jason Sudeikis, Sarah Baker, Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd, and Amelia Jackson-Gray

Jay Roach, best known as the director of the Austin Powers films, as well as Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Dinner With Schmucks, directs here.  Roach also directed the two straightforward teledramas Recount and Game Change, which chronicled aspects of the 2000 and 2008 presidential elections, respectively.  Here he's working with Ferrell's frequent partner in crime Adam McKay, who serves as producer.

The Campaign arrives in theaters on August, a date now shared by the action sequel The Bourne Legacy.
