Nick Frost’s Hot-Stepping To Laughs & Love In New ‘Cuban Fury’ Trailer & Spot

Despite sounding like the sub-title to a sequel of Brian DePalma’s gangster classic CARLITO’S WAY, Nick Frost’s latest film, CUBAN FURY, is in fact an outrageous romantic comedy co-starring Irish funny man Chris O’Dowd. The comedic geniuses are set to fight for the affections of their new boss – played by Rashida Jones – with Frost’s overweight office worker Bruce finding his early teen latin fire reignited when learning she loves to salsa dance!

Check out the second trailer for the film directed by Episodes regular James Griffiths.

1987: Poised to sweep the floor at the UK Junior Salsa Championships, 13-year-old Bruce Garrett has fire in his heels and the world at his feet… Until a freakish bullying incident robs him of his confidence and his life is diverted down a very different path. So it is that 22 years later, having locked away his boyhood dreams, Bruce finds himself out-of-shape, unloved and well and truly wedged in his “comfort zone”. It takes Julia (Jones), his smart, funny, gorgeous new American boss, to shake him from his emotional stupor and force him to re-examine his dull, passionless existence. But she’s out of his league, and with expert lothario and alpha-male office nemesis Drew (O’Dowd) overtly in pursuit of her, it’s enough to make Bruce want to give up on himself all over again. Can his loyal sister (Colman), childhood dance instructor (McShane), and crazy new amateur salsa pal (Novak) help Bruce unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim the love of his life?

CUBAN FURY also features British faves Olivia Colman, Ian McShane, Alexandra Roach, Rory Kinnear, Steve Oram, Kevin Eldon and Kayvan Novak. It’s set for UK cinemas on Valentines Day but is still awaiting a US release.
