As we’ve previously learned about Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim play directors who are tasked with creating a billion dollar movie and of course they screw it up. So they choose to set up a new business in an abandoned mall and hilarity ensures as their delightful characters – played by Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, John C Reilly, Will Forte and others – stop by for zany adventures.

We also know that it pissed a ton of people off at Sundance recently.

At least one couple storming out of the theater actually hollered back at the screen. Heidecker and Wareheim could barely contain their glee at a post-screening Q&A. “What’d he say?” Heidecker demanded.

The incident happened during a scene where the two guys are riding around in a cart chasing hobos out of the derelict mall, screaming “Get the f— out!”

A man stomping out of the theater at that moment shouted back, “We f—ing ARE!” About two dozen people had already fled before that, and many more took off after. About two-thirds of the audience remained by the time the credits rolled. (Via Entertainment Weekly)

The rest of that article is totally worth the read, because their interaction with the pissed off audience is hilarious.

The directors will brave on with their creation, which hits theaters on March 2, but Billion Dollar Movie is actually already available for download and On Demand as well. In fact, they’re so hellbent on success, that Heidecker and Wareheim have spent the past few weeks tracking down a number of celebrities, and making them sign a pledge to not only see the movie in theaters, but also to bring at least one family member with them, while also swearing to not see The Lorax.

Thankfully, Tim and Eric recorded these celebrities making and signing their pledges and I have a bunch of them after the jump.

That’s totally his “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I was a serial killer when I won the lottery” face.  Meanwhile, she’s pulling the old “Ugh, I’m so disgusted with you for not telling me you were a serial killer when I married you for your lottery money.”

Okay so I made that last part up to make the headline more provocative.  Nonetheless, it’s true that Tom Hanks will be directing and starring in Larry Crowne, from his own script.  It’s set to co-star Julia Roberts, who last appeared opposite Hanks as a horribly miscast rich, old, Texas slut (the sluts are bigger and sluttier in Texas) in Charlie Wilson’s War.

I’m told that Hanks will play the title character, a man forced to reinvent himself and find a new career as he navigates the second act of his life. It’s a comedy with a relatable premise. Larry Crowne is the first feature Hanks has written and directed since 1996’s now classic music pic That Thing You Do! [DeadlineHollywood]

I like Tom Hanks.  I liked That Thing You Do! I’ll probably see this.  As long as he doesn’t put his bug-eyed, mouth-breathing, goon of a son in it.  I swear, that oafish buffoon is like a colostomy bag filled with poison.

(“HURRRRRRRR.”)

I’m seriously impressed with this video.  Katherine Heigl? Colin Hanks? Making out?  You better believe it.  I didn’t even know they were on a show together.  Why couldn’t have it been shot inside a volcano?  Throw in some crappy YouTube editing and a song by that guy from Nickelback, and wow, whoever made this, you clearly have a direct line into my subconscious.  It’s so perfectly full of things I hate, and not even the first things that I’d think of, like techno and hipsters, it’s like stuff that I hate that I forgot even existed, like soy smoothies and that cocky asshole Josh.  Anyway, to whoever made this, well done, and may we never hang out.

The full trailer for the Great Buck Howard recently hit the web, and it features Steve Zahn AND Colin Hanks!  Together!  At last!  In fact, not only is Hanks, that lurky, lumpy ball of pasty awkwardness, the main character, he gets to make it with Emily Blunt.  F-ck you, Hollywood.

Colin Hanks’ favorite pickup line?  “Hey, does this smell like chloroform?”
