The Big Sick Trailer: The Judd Apatow-Produced Comedy

Amazon Studios and Lionsgate have released the first trailer for the acclaimed comedy The Big Sick, which stars Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), Zoe Kazan (Ruby Sparks), Holly Hunter (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), and Ray Romano (Parenthood). View The Big Sick trailer below, along with the poster in the gallery, and check out the movie when it opens in select theaters on June 23, followed by a national rollout July 14.

Based on the real-life courtship between Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, The Big Sick tells the story of Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail (Nanjiani), who connects with grad student Emily (Kazan) after one of his standup sets. However, what they thought would be just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, it forces Kumail to navigate the medical crisis with her parents, Beth and Terry (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) who he’s never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart.

The Big Sick is directed by Michael Showalter (Hello My Name is Doris) and produced by Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, This is 40) and Barry Mendel (Trainwreck, The Royal Tenenbaums).
