Outlander notes: See trailer for Sam Heughan’s ‘The Spy Who Dumped Me’

While we don’t typically cover movies at CarterMatt, we figure that there’s going to be a lot of interest around these parts for The Spy Who Dumped Me — a particularly funny-looking film that just so happens to feature a number of familiar TV faces in the cast. Outlander fans should love the presence of Sam Heughan taking on a very different role from Jamie Fraser, one equipped with a different accent and modern clothing to go along with it! (He is not dressed as a sea-faring Scotsman as the photo above would suggest.) For everyone who loves a super-spy thriller, this project has it — plus also a little bit of humor. Take a look at the trailer below for a first look at what’s coming.

The cast for the project is great, including Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon, The Leftovers alum Justin Theroux, Heughan, and former That 70’s Show star Mila Kunis. This was filmed over the course of this past summer while Sam was on hiatus from Outlander — this is one of his first big Hollywood studio films and we imagine that there could be more in the future for whenever he has some time off from doing the series. He may have another chance this summer in between convention appearances, depending of course on what he wants to do.

Obviously if you love Sam there’s an incentive to check this out when it premieres on August 3 — we also loved The Leftovers and feel like McKinnon is the top SNL talent of this generation. It’s a perfect comedy for that time in the summer when some other blockbusters are starting to cool off a little bit. Sam is certainly going to be busy around that time, promoting this movie while also preparing for another press tour for Outlander season 4, which should premiere on Starz at some point in the months to come. Filming for the series is going to last until presumably mid-to-late June.
