It’s a National Lampoon’s technology revolt in the Connected trailer

Boasted as coming from wunderkinds Phil Lord and Chris Miller (but only produced by them), Connected couldn’t feel more antithetically disconnected in this first trailer. While it’s first pitched as something in the vein of A Goofy Movie or College Road Trip, there’s apparently a second act where it’s about how—hur hur!—people are so connected to technology that will ultimately revolt against them. Though the greater disconnect is maybe how it somehow uses all these dated camcorder graphics to indicate “recording” in 2020?

Anyway, like all Lord-Miller productions, perhaps it will work out by the time it hits theaters September 18.

Please help these sad nobodies and:
