Might be tricky to pull off
Some sort of sweatily paranoid assassin thriller with a cast almost entirely made up of comedic actors, that appears (at least according to the trailer) to be serious + jokes, rather than a spoof? If Operation: Endgame pulls it off, I'll buy a copy. But if I ever manage to see it, I'm half expecting a trainwreck.
I saw it some time back. Trainwreck it is.
There were 15 minutes where we were like: "This is funny! Well, ok, no. These PEOPLE are funny. We know them to be funny. This kind of sucks."
Overall, the hint when we rented it was: "Wow, this movie has a lot of famous people, how come we hadn't heard about it?" The fact that you're just now seeing the TRAILER only suggests how doomed this is.
I might be wrong, though, because about half an hour in the viewing party decided life was too short and there were other movies to watch- which is why I didn't review it, to be fair. I don't know, maybe it's secretly a cult gem. From the half hour I gleaned it's just insults and putdowns, you know: "I hope your daughter gets raped by a hugely endowed Doberman, fuckwit!" Not an actual quotation, but in the spirit of the thing.

I just reread all of Transmetropolitan, so that might actually work for me. Thanks for the information, in any case.
