The trailer has arrived for the new romantic comedy, which is the feature debut of writer and director Peter Glanz.

The new video introduces the love triangle between the characters played by Jason Bateman ("Horrible Bosses," "Identity Thief"), Olivia Wilde ("House") and Billy Crudup ("Blood Ties," "Public Enemies").

In "The Longest Week," Bateman stars as Conrad, a deadbeat living off of his family's fortune. When his parents decide to cut off his allowance without warning, he decides to move in with his best friend Dylan (Crudup). Things get complicated when he meets Dylan's new girlfriend Beatrice (Wilde). Conrad has one week to find an apartment and a job, all while trying to woo the lovely Beatrice away from his best friend.

Judging by the trailer, things won't be easy for the character. "The Longest Week" is due in US theaters on September 5. Bateman will also be seen this fall in "This Is Where I Leave You" (September 19) and "Horrible Bosses 2" (November 26).

Israel's Netanyahu eyes Iran after triumphs over Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria
DUBAI (Reuters) - 2025 will be a year of reckoning for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his country's arch foe Iran. The veteran Israeli leader is set to cement his strategic goals: tightening his military control over Gaza, thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions and capitalising on the dismantling of Tehran's allies -- Palestinian Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and the removal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Assad's collapse, the elimination of the top leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah and the destruction of their military structure mark a succession of monumental wins for Netanyahu.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
