Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson Team up in First Trailer for “Late Night”

Emma Thompson in "Late Night"

Upcoming comedy Late Night wowed the critics when it premiered at Sundance Film Festival – and we finally can see why. The first trailer for the exciting project is here, and leading ladies Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson are a match made in heaven.

Late Night stars Thompson as a ruthless late night show host, whose career is about to be over. She decides to revitalize her aging talk show by hiring her first and only female staff writer, but it’s not exactly smooth sailing from there.

“Originally intended to smooth over diversity concerns, her decision brings about unexpectedly hilarious consequences as the two women, who are separated by culture and generation, become united by their love of a biting punchline,” reads the official synopsis of this hilarious comedy.

Kaling and Thompson aren’t the only reason why this movie, directed by Nisha Ganatra, is a comedy gold. Late Night also stars John Lithgow, Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, and Amy Ryan. We can’t wait to see what this impressive ensemble cast has in store when this movie premieres on July 7.
