El último avance de la serie History of the World, Part II revela el amplio elenco repleto de estrellas de la secuela. El aclamado escritor y director de comedia, Mel Brooks, lanzó History of the World, Part I, una película que vuelve a contar de manera cómica eventos significativos a lo largo de la historia humana. 42 años después, Brooks está listo para lanzar un programa de televisión de secuela para transmitir exclusivamente en Hulu.
Hulu compartió recientemente el último tráiler de History of the World, Part II muestra el gran elenco repleto de estrellas del programa.
Along with previously revealed members of the cast to Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, Seth Rogen, and even Brooks himself, the new trailer features Kumail Nanjiani, Josh Gad, and Taika Waititi as Vātsyāyana, William Shakespeare, and Sigmund Freud respectively. The video also highlights the rest of the vast cast in multiple roles throughout the ages.
What We Know About History of the World Part 2
The upcoming series will consist of eight episodes beginning March 6 and concluding March 9 with two episodes airing each day. Although the conclusion of History of the World, Part I seemingly promised a cinematic sequel with new vignettes to include Hitler on Ice, A Viking Funeral, and Jews in Space, Brooks never intended to make a follow-up movie. However, Afterparty’s Barinholtz, Big Mouth’s Kroll, and Star Wars: The Bad Batch’s Sykes portray three figure skating commentators in the trailer possibly teases Hitler on Ice making an appearance.
History of the World, Part II will feature multiple time periods throughout world history that will show events both preceding and following the original film. Previously confirmed eras include the Russian Revolution, Shirley Chisholm’s 1972 Presidential run, Noah preparing for God’s Great Flood, the invention of the telephone, the building of the Great Pyramids of Giza, as well as the American Civil War. The trailer teases more historical eras including Freud giving a Masterclass-style lecture, and Vātsyāyana pitching the Kama Sutra, as well as a possible appearance of Jews in Space featuring Sarah Silverman.
History of the World, Part II será el primer crédito importante de Brooks como escritor desde su nueva versión de 2005 de The Producers y el programa animado de 2008 Spaceballs. La próxima serie probablemente será la última gran producción cinematográfica o televisiva del hombre de 96 años y puede incluir tributos a sus trabajos anteriores. Con el estreno de History of the World, Part II en un mes, el público no tiene que esperar mucho más para ver cómo Brooks concluye su larga e ilustre carrera.
