Ok, we actually have no clue if it’s Tyson’s singing debut or not, but it just sounds good. But it is kind of interesting that the pugilist reenters the pop culturalsphere with his James Toback-helmedTyson” documentary “and then shows up in Todd Phillips’ bachelor-party-gone-wrong comedy, “The Hangover” only a few mere weeks later. The timing is just too perfect.
This red-band “preview” piece features a few f-bombs, a few more clips from the film and Tyson meditatively singing, sorry warbling, a way off-key rendition of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight,” moments of which you’ve probably already seen in early ‘Hangover’ trailers.
The film stars Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper (“Wedding Crashers”) as three best friends at a wild Las Vegas bachelor party who lose the groom just hours before his wedding and is due in theaters June 5, 2009. Todd Phillips once elevated lowbrow comedy to glorious art, so we have high hopes for this one.
