'The Watch' International Trailer Meet the Guys

Even as the more dramatic side of his career takes off, Jonah Hill hasn't abandoned his comedy roots. In fact, it's looking like he could be biggest comedy star of the year, with the fantastic 21 Jump Street behind him and the promising The Watch ahead of him. Directed by Akiva Schaffer, The Watch centers around a group of suburban watchdogs (played by Hill, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Richard Ayoade) who inadvertently stumble across plans for an alien attack.
Where the earlier trailers have focused mostly on the sci-fi angle of the plotline, the newest international promo explores the characters a bit more, explaining who they are exactly and what brought them together in the first place. The result is the funniest trailer we've seen yet for this film, with tons of new footage including better looks at Ayoade and co-star Will Forte. Watch it after the jump.

The Watch drops into theaters July 27.
An outrageous comedy in which four everyday suburban guys (played by Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard ...
