New "Hamlet 2" trailer: "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus!"

It's the sequel we haven't been waiting for, in a movie we can't wait to see.
In the summer comedy Hamlet 2, British funnyman Steve Coogan plays a failed actor turned high school drama teacher who has to create an amazing show to save the drama department. His idea: a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet where Jesus brings the Danish Prince back from the dead to perform in musical numbers.
Considering that the comedy comes from gay writer/director Andrew Fleming (Dick, Threesome, The Craft), it's not surprising that the new trailer for Hamlet 2 is loaded with gay elements: An attempt to censor the production arises because of a scene where Satan makes out with the President, musical accompaniment is provided by the Gay Men's Chorus of Tucson (presumably, they get to perform Hamlet 2's signature tune, "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus") and one young drama student seems pretty happy to have them participating.
Add a cast of gay-faves like Catherine Keener, Amy Poehler (as an ACLU lawyer) and Elizabeth Shue playing herself, and August 22 can't come fast enough.
