Netflix drops full trailer for Judd Apatow’s meta Covid comedy ‘The Bubble’

Judd Apatow has debuted the first trailer for The Bubble, the forthcoming Netflix comedy after a film production that goes haywire during the UK’s coronavirus lockdown.

A meta take on the pandemic, the film takes a look at the production of Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest, which dubbed the “23rd largest Dino franchise ever.”

In the first full trailer for the film, the production appears to be cursed from the very start – despite a wide array of safety protocols being firmly in place.

Stars such as Karen Gillan, Guz Khan, David Duchovny, Leslie Mann, Iris Apatow are among the actors starring in  Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest, while Fred Armisen serves as their director and and Kate McKinnon appears on formidable form as a no-nonsense film exec.

The full trailer comes after Netflix shared a meta trailer for Cliff Beasts 6 earlier this week. A synopsis for ‘Cliff Beasts 6’ reads: “Humankind is threatened once again by a dinosaur species: Cliff Beasts. The team must reunite, after five long years, to battle the Cliff Beasts — but this time on Mount Everest.”

The movie was shot in the UK last spring, with filming wrapping in April 2021. A release date has yet to be confirmed by Netflix, although IMDb is listing it, appropriately, as an April 1 arrival.

It will be Apatow’s first time in the director’s chair since 2020’s ‘The King of Staten Island’, which was co-written by and starred Pete Davidson in a semi-autobiographical role. Over the past two decades, Apatow has become one of Hollywood’s leading comedy figures, directing the likes of ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, ‘Knocked Up’, ‘This Is 40’ and ‘Trainwreck’. On television, he has devleoped and produced ‘Freaks and Geeks’, ‘Girls’, ‘Love’ and ‘Crashing’.
