Death at a Funeral is a remake of the 2007 comedy of the same name. This new version has African-Americanized Dean Craig’s script from 3 years ago (plus this new one looks as though they had a slightly larger budget). Check out the trailer below for the remake of this comedy.

I confess I never got round to seeing the original, but I distinctly remember seeing trailers popping up here and there for the 2007 version, If I recall correctly I remember thinking Death at a Funeral (2007) looked like a quaint little English comedy that I would get round to watching someday.

Death at a Funeral stars comedian Chris ‘take him with a pinch of salt’ Rock, Zoe Saldana, James Marsden, Luke Wilson and the other guy in Bad Boys Martin Lawrence, at a funeral for their family member that goes awry when family secrets are exposed. I had my doubts but the trailer makes it look like a right laugh, here’s hoping all the funny bits weren’t in the trailer.
