Promo Photos for ‘Fockers’ and ‘Your Highness’

Promo photos from two highly anticipated 2010 releases have surfaced.

Little Fockers (or whatever it ends up being called) is scheduled for release in late July and rather than show us something about the plot or maybe what Owen Wilson’s expanded role is all about we instead get a shot of stars Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller. Looking at each other. Sternly.

Little Fockers

In much, much better news we have a great shot of James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and Danny McBride from Your Highness coming in October.  The film is from David Gordon Greene (Pineapple Express, Eastbound and Down) and also stars Natalie Portman and Justin Theroux. This photo looks amazing and McBride in particular actually doesn’t look ridiculous in the suit of armor. He’s still got the Kenny Powers hairstyle, though.

Your Highness

Here’s the official synopsis:

Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world-Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent’s fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he’s settled for a life of wizard’s weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious’ bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.

Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman)-an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own-the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages.
