Movie Genl Info: The Watch (previously known as Neighborhood Watch) is a 2012 science fiction comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer and written by Jared Stern, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and Richard Ayoade. The film follows Evan (Stiller), Bob (Vaughn), Franklin (Hill), and Jamarcus (Ayoade), a group of neighbors who form a suburban neighborhood watch group and use it as a front to get away from their families. However, when they accidentally uncover an alien plot that threatens the world, they are forced into action. The film began development in 2008 under producer Shawn Levy as a teen-audience targeted project written by Jared Stern. Between 2009 and late 2010, the project saw different directors and stars join the project, until November 2010, when it moved in a new direction under Rogen and Goldberg who rewrote the script aiming towards an adult-oriented audience. Filming began in October 2011, in the state of Georgia and concluded in January 2012.
Movie Plot Summary:
A group of guys stumble onto an alien invasion during a faux neighborhood watch meeting where they usually do some male bonding to get away from their dull suburban lives in this sci-fi comedy starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. Akiva Schaffer directs from a script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Rosemarie DeWitt co-stars.The latest ensemble comedy from Ben Stiller and second directorial outing for Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer hit a PR hurdle after the killing of Trayvon Martin; the studio and filmmakers responded gracefully by adjusting the movie's title and its marketing, which was a bit off in the beginning anyway. Perhaps the aliens vs. neighborhood guys comedy will be crushed by Batman in his second weekend, or it could be the best inadvertent counterprogramming in years.
Storyline:
Four everyday suburban guys come together as an excuse to escape their humdrum lives one night a week. But when they accidentally discover that their town has become overrun with aliens posing as ordinary suburbanites, they have no choice but to save their neighborhood - and the world - from total extermination.
