‘Zoolander 2’ International Trailer And Poster: Derek Is Out Of Fashion [UPDATED]
It’s a bit surprising to realize now that the firstZoolanderactually wasn’t a huge hit when it came out back in 2001. It was the 55th highest domestic grosser of the year, behind such gems asRat RaceandThe Animal. Like most good comedies, however, it eventually found an audience, and over the past decade and a half, it’s become so beloved that it’s now spawned a sequel.
Zoolander 2puts Derek (Ben Stiller), already an old-timer on his way out in the first film, back into the fashion game. This time, he’s wrapped up in a larger investigation of a mysterious killer targeting the world’s most beautiful people (of whichJustin Bieberis apparently one). Fortunately, he’s got plenty of help beside him, including his rival-turned-BFF Hansel (Owen Wilson) and an impossibly gorgeous Interpol agent (Penélope Cruz).

Paramount Pictures International dropped theZoolander 2international trailer onYouTube.
The newZoolander 2international trailer adds more context to the character played by Cruz. Maybe too much context. It’s no fun when a trailer gives away all the best jokes, so let’s just hope there’s more where that came from in the actual movie.
Elsewhere,Benedict Cumberbatch’s cameo as androgynous supermodel All continues to be one ofZoolander 2’s most surprising gags. The joke is not without controversy, though, as some have criticized the film for being transphobic.
On the bright side, pretty much everyone seems into the notion of Bieber tossing off a Blue Steel before dying. Bieber fans are just happy to see him, and presumably delighted that he is, for the purposes of this movie, considered one of the world’s most beautiful people, whereas Bieber haters are thrilled to see him get killed off.
