Patton Oswalt and Johnny Knoxville are set to play feuding brothers (“squabbling sibs”, as Deadline puts it) in an untitled comedy executive produced by David Gordon Green. It’s virtually guaranteed to be really funny because Johnny Knoxville is tall and skinny and Patton Oswalt is short and chubby — classic comedy recipe! I’m guessing Patton plays the rich, pompous womanizer and Knoxville the shy-but-goodhearted, D&D-loving shut-in, but I’ve been wrong before.
The untitled comedy will be directed by Todd Rohal and financed by Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf’s Big Beach Films. Knoxville and Oswalt will play battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a camping trip. It all goes awry. Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney and Patrice O’Neal also star. Rohal, who originally wrote the script under the title Scout Master, most recently directed The Catechism Cataclysm. Production on the new comedy starts this week. [Deadline]
I’d rather watch a five-hour collection of Patton Oswalt’s Five-Second Films, but I suppose this’ll do. And I have faith that Johnny Knoxville can break the once-co-starred-opposite-Jessica-Simpson curse. Here’s a brief list of some of her other co-stars:
Luke Wilson
Dane Cook
Dax Shepard
Andy Dick
Andy Milonakis
Vivica Fox
Cheri Oteri
The woman’s like the black widow of careers. But hopefully Patton can help suck out the poison. Free idea: their father should be played by BRIAN DENNEHY!

Is Deadline Hollywood poaching their obnoxious short-hand from Variety?
Okay, who’s the prexy and veep of this pic, helmed by whoever?
That is a depressing list, mostly because it reminded me that Andy Dick-and-Milonakis had careers
I wasn’t really paying attention but what I took from that was “Shepard Cook Fox Dick”. So hells yeah, I’m in!
Andy Dick and Dax Shepard are in talks to star in the gay porn parody, Scout Master Blaster.
I have enjoyed both Andy Milonakis and Andy Dick at various times. That is all.
How can you say that, when Cheri Oteri’s in the upcoming Hobbit Seabiscuit?
“It all goes awry.”
Who puts spoilers like that in a press release? Rude!
Awry’d.
“squabbling sibs”
Brawling bros? Beefing bloodlines? Kickin’ kinfolk?
Tony Romo is pulling for Johnny Knoxville. Silly mexicans and their magical thinking.
I’ve also enjoyed Andy Milonakis. His hands made my dick look HUGE!
Hang on, isn’t Dax on some show with the dude from Six Feet Under, and hasn’t it been around for a few years? Also waiting to see if Louis CK can revive Dane’s career. *Cough*doubtit*Cough*
I had to Google Image “Andy Milonakis” and I still have no idea who that is.
I wonder if Rob Riggle will yell real loud.
I wonder if Dax Shepard will speak in a monotonous voice.
I wonder if Dane Cook will suck.
