"I know you just checked out my ass..."Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell are set to take a bite out of corporate America — and are showing off their behinds in the process — in the just-released trailer for the new Showtime comedy House of Lies (Jan. 8).
Written by Matthew Carnahan based on the book by Martin Kihn, the project centers on Marty (Cheadle), a self-loathing highly successful management consultant from a top-tier firm who is never above using any means necessary to get his clients the information they want. Former Veronica Mars star Bell will play Jeannie Van Der Hooven, a razor-sharp, Ivy-League graduate who works at Marty’s firm. The new comedy series also features Parks and Recreation scene stealer Ben Schwartz (aka Jean-Ralphio), Dawn Oliveri as Marti’s ex-wife, Glynn Turman as Marty’s psychoanalyst father and Donis Leonard Jr. as his young son. Jessika Borsiczky is executive producing the pilot, which will be directed by Stephen Hopkins.
The series promises to show you an uncensored side of the cutthroat corporate world, with guys who don't play by the rules, even pulling stats “from my ass” as Cheadle’s character reveals, and sticking it to “the 1 percent.” And sometimes, that involves getting slapped around a little. As our narrator sums up: “They’re the 1 percent sticking it to the 1 percent.” Check it out, as I'm 99 percent sure you won’t mind seeing Kristen Bell in a state of undress.
