In an interview with Seann William Scott, I believe he mentions this film Interviewer: I'm the only person who enjoyed Mr. Woodcock-- Scott: You did? Dude, you're not the only one. You know who else did? Gerard Butler. I worked with him and Brett Ratner and [Johnny] Knoxville. It's a cool movie with all these awesome actors, all short films. I was so excited to meet him. I love that guy. But he saw Woodcock. He thanked me for it, dude! I was like, 'What? You're the only person I've ever met who saw that movie, except for my mom.' And you! That's great. www.cinemablend.com/new/Interview-Seann-William-Scott-Wants-To-Play-Jack-Skellington-On-Broadway-17218.htmlHe is clearly referrring to the Farrelly film as Ratner and Knoxville are indeed involved. I can only imagine what this film Mr. Woodcock is about, LOL So I wonder if this means GB's segment was directed by Brett Ratner and Sean William Scott and/or Johnny Knoxville were also in the segment, wow that could be really wild. I was under the impression there were 2 actors per segment but who knows if that is correct. That's a great article! Karma, thanks for posting it!!!!

Relativity Announces Production on Untitled Comedy Source: Relativity Media, LLC March 11, 2010 Relativity Media, LLC (RML) announced today it has begun production on the Untitled Comedy project. In January, Relativity Media came aboard to co-finance and co-produce the project, and will arrange distribution through one of their studio partners. Production will continue until late May. Peter Farrelly, Charles Wessler, GreeneStreet Films' John Penotti and Relativity Media's Ryan Kavanaugh are producing the project. Executive producers are Tim Williams of GreeneStreet Films and Tucker Tooley of Relativity Media. Co-producers are Tom Gormican and Marc Ambrose. Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko also serve as associate producers. Witness Protection Films also serves as a production company partner. Originally set up at Overture Films, the project kicked into high gear after the producers met with Relativity Media last December. The brainstorming session lead to a revamp of the central premise of the film. The new team created the template for a unifying storyline for a series of sketch comedies in the vein of the 1970s hits Kentucky Fried Movie and Groove Tube. "Relativity has been the perfect partner through the extraordinarily complicated process of putting this movie together. We are thrilled to be underway," commented Farrelly. The filmmakers who have already completed their work are Peter Farrelly, Brett Ratner, Elizabeth Banks, Bob Odenkirk, and Griffin Dunne. Additional directors will be announced shortly. The growing cast includes, Elizabeth Banks, Gerard Butler, Kieran Culkin, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Liev Schreiber, Sean William Scott, Tony Shalhoub, Emma Stone, Matt Walsh, Patrick Warburton, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet. The producers will announce additional cast members as further deals are solidified. "We all sat down and came up with what we think is a hilarious through-line for the movie," said Wessler. "Given the amount of pot I had smoked, at least I think it is hilarious." Penotti added, "This has been one of the most fun and challenging projects we have ever undertaken. We are completely blown away by the caliber of talent that this project has attracted. It is a testament to the quality of Charlie and Pete's original concept." Farrelly and Wessler are long time collaborators, working on many of the classic Farrelly Brothers comedies including There's Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber and Shallow Hal. www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=64128

I found this today... it is mostly about The Bounty Hunter but at the very end he talks about this project and says that it is the most foul mouthed character he's ever played.... He is just so damn cute!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5dgl7adGw8

Colin Farrell was suppose to be his brother in this film, but when he read the script he thought it was too foul-mouthed and didn't want to take the role since he is already known as a foul-mouthed actor. So they gave the brother part to Gerry too. He plays twins.
I think I heard him say this on a recent radio interview. This part should be hysterical!

About Gery playing twins, I mean. I agree, this should be funny. I wonder if this will be released in the theatres? Since it has been a somewhat secret project and it really seems to be a very different movie project. It is so Gerry to take on something like this. He is always up for something interesting to challenge himself. The language was probably just a bonus for him.

Now see I did not quite catch onto that, foul mouthed TWIN leprachauns, oh my. They say the movie should be released sometime in 2010. Given they already some filming done before Xmas and clearly have done some more filming since Xmas perhaps it will be ready in time for one of the major film festivals - I could see that as a good premiere venue for this kind of film. Likely too early for Cannes though.
