A pair of posters and the first trailer have arrived for the upcoming comedy Identity Thief starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman and directed by Seth Gordon (Four Christmases).
The film is rather clear in what it’s about with its title, but here’s the synopsis:
Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (Melissa McCarthy) to live it up near Miami, buying whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using belongs to “Sandy Bigelow Patterson” and that’s an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, he will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Universal will release the film on February 8, 2013.
Check out the trailer and larger versions of the posters directly below.
