New Line Cinema has released the Fist Fight trailer and poster. Fist Fight opens in theaters on February 17, 2017.
Ice Cube and Charlie Day headline the Fist Fight, a comedy directed by Richie Keen from a script by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux. The story follows Charlie Day’s character, a meek teacher, as he is challenged to a fist fight by his much tougher colleague, played by Ice Cube. Christina Hendricks will play a school drama teacher, who has a romantic connection to the teacher played by Ice Cube.
The Fist Fight movie will mark the silver screen return of actor/comedian Tracy Morgan, after his traffic accident on the New Jersey Turnpike in 2014. He will play a coach at the school.
Fist Fight is being produced by Shawn Levy, Max Greenfield and John Rickard and the cast also includes Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street) as the school’s principal and guidance counselor, respectively.
