The Heat Teaser PosterPaul Feig has re-teamed with his Bridesmaids star, Melissa McCarthy, to bring us another comedy that is sure to go big in the spring next year, with McCarthy starring alongside Sandra Bullock.

With its release now less than five months away, the first trailer and teaser poster have debuted over on Apple, giving us our first look at the film, kicking off the coming ad campaign.

“Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.’s “finest,” is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies. From Paul Feig, the director of “Bridesmaids.””

Starring alongside the leading duo will be Michael Rapaport, Demián Bichir, Kaitlin Olson, Taran Killam, Andy Buckley, Nathan Corddry, and Tony Hale.

Feig is directing from a script by Katie Dippold (MADtv, Parks and Recreation), who is making her feature debut as a writer.

The Heat will be released on 5th April, 2013, in the UK and US, and if the likes of Bridesmaids is anything to go by, it could well be another big success with audiences when it lands. It doesn’t have quite the same pop as the Bridesmaids trailer, but McCarthy has very much risen in the past year, and Bullock is of course a huge star, so naturally there’s reason to believe it will be a big hit. For now, here’s the first trailer and teaser poster. Enjoy.
