What if a tennis match lasted 7 days? That's the premise behind 7 Days in Hell, a mockumentary in the style of Christopher Guest's work that follows the two tennis players during the legendary match in 2004. In comparison to real life, the longest tennis match lasted 3 days, which is actually quite long considering it's a set of tennis games that just won't end. In 7 Days in Hell, Andy Samberg battles Kit Harington on the court and it looks like it's going to be hilarious. This first teaser is only 60 seconds and plays more like a sports promo for ESPN, but I love it, they've totally sold me on this. You just need to see the footage below.
Here's the first teaser trailer for HBO's 7 Days in Hell, from YouTube (found via SlashFilm):
7 Days in Hell is a fictional documentary-style expose on the rivalry between two tennis stars who battled it out in a 2004 match that lasted seven days. The film is directed by Jake Szymanski, known for his Funny or Die sketches and SNL Digital Shorts making his feature debut with Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates next, from a screenplay written by Murray Miller. The cast includes Karen Gillan, Lena Dunham, Michael Sheen, Mary Steenburgen, Howie Mandel, Fred Armisen, and June Squibb; plus real-life tennis stars Serena Williams, John McEnroe and Chris Evert. HBO will debut 7 Days in Hell starting July 11th this summer.
