Tina Fey managed to make the Golden Globes entertaining for three solid years, so it's fair to say that everything she touches shines bright like a diamond. Not only does the world have Sisters co-starring Amy Poehler to look forward to, the trailer just dropped for Tina's war comedy, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Fey plays IRL journalist Kim Barker, who moves from New York to Afghanistan in 2004 as a means to ditch her lame boyfriend and "blow everything up." As one character who clearly hasn't read Eat, Pray, Love says "that's the most American white lady story I've ever heard."
Copious hijinks abound in the preview, which features A-listers like Margot Robbie, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfred Molina, and Martin Freeman. Come for the laughs, stay for Tina Fey shooting a machine gun
Catch Whiskey Tango Foxtrot in theaters on on March 4.
