Casting News, News, Projects

Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt have agreed to star in an untitled comedy that will be directed by Todd Rohal, who earlier this year delivered the comedy The Catechism Cataclysm. The comedy will be financed by Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf’s Big Beach Films, the same company that produced Our Idiot Brother starring Paul Rudd. David Gordon Green, of Pineapple Express and Your Highness, is executive producer.

Knoxville and Oswalt will play battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a camping trip. Shenanigans ensue. Rob Riggle (The Other Guys), Maura Tierney (ER, Liar Liar) and Patrice O’Neal (25th Hour) also star.

While the comedy has yet to get a formal title, Rohal originally wrote the script with “Scout Master” as the working title. Production will commence this week.
