The playground game of Tag has never (at least as far as we know,) been the thematic centerpiece of a Hollywood film – that is, until now. The upcoming comedy, baring the to-the-point title, Tag, will see Jeremy Renner put down his Hawkeye bow after Avengers: Infinity War to play a game of tag with onscreen pals Jon Hamm, Ed Helms, Hannibal Buress and Jake Johnson; a game that’s apparently been running continuously for 30 years.
Here’s the first trailer for the movie…
Besides Renner, the Tag cast consists of Jon Hamm (Baby Driver, Mad Men) Ed Helms (The Hangover films, We’re the Millers), Hannibal Buress (Broad City, Neighbors), Rashida Jones (Angie Tribeca, Parks and Recreation), Leslie Bibb (American Housewife, Iron Man), and – serving as a reunion of Tom Cruise’s co-stars in 2017’s The Mummy – Jake Johnson (New Girl, Jurassic World) and Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword).
Jeff Tomsic serves as director, bringing small screen experience from The Detour, Idiotsitter, Broad City and This is Not Happening. Tomsic works off a screenplay by Rob McKittrick (Waiting…) and Mark Steilen (Mozart in the Jungle).
The movie arrives in UK cinemas on July 6th.
