Check out the trailer for "Nerdland," a twisted R-rated animated comedy starring the voices of Paul Rudd and Patton Oswalt as two slacker best friends (an aspiring actor and a struggling screenwriter) who decide to break into image-obsessed Hollywood by orchestrating a fake scandal.

Directed by "Metalocalypse" helmer Chris Prynoski and written by "Se7en" screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, the cartoon comedy also features the voices of Hannibal Buress, Mike Judge, Paul Scheer, Molly Shannon, Sally Kirkland, and Riki Lindhome & Kate Micucci.

Produced by Prynoski's Titmouse Studio, "Nerdland" will have a special theatrical release on Tuesday, December 6, courtesy of Samuel Goldwyn Films and Fathom Events. For more information, visit fathomevents.com.

synopsis:
Aspiring actor JOHN (Paul Rudd) and wannabe screenwriter ELLIOT (Patton Oswalt) are slacker best friends who have seen their dreams of super-stardom fizzle. With their 30th birthdays looming and desperation growing, they decide that in this 24/7, celebrity-obsessed world of over-shared navel-gazing, there are more ways to get famous then ever before -- so why not become famous today?!

With only the grudging support of a wacky collectible store owner (Hannibal Buress) and their one-sided love for a pair of equally fame hungry women (Riki Lindhome & Kate Micucci) to keep them going, John and Elliot troll Los Angeles on an attention grabbing journey of reckless publicity stunts and failed heroics.

While navigating their hyper-stimulating landscape of consumerism gone wild, our disheartened duo inadvertently become key witnesses in a high profile crime that sets the news cycle on fire, making them household names... but only if they can survive the infamy and worldwide shame.
