Dave Franco, Peter Dinklage, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. to Star in New Comedy THE SHITHEADS
Dave Franco (Now You See Me), Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Den Of Thieves: Pantera) are set to star in a new film project described as a raucous comedy, titled The Shitheads.
The movie follows “cynical degenerate Mark (Franco) and bumbling idealist Davis (Jackson) as they’ve both hit rock bottom. Paired for a job by a shady transport service, their task seems simple: transport Sheridan, a wealthy troubled teen, to rehab.
“But Sheridan has other plans and what starts as a simple road trip becomes an unhinged odyssey of drug-fueled disasters, near-death experiences, and criminal encounters.
“Out of their minds and in way over their heads, Mark and Davis find the courage to face their failures and realize that it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the shitheads you meet along the way.”
The movie was written and directed by Macon Blair, who previously collaborated with Dinklage on Brothers and The Toxic Avenger.
The film is said to be a passion project for Blair. A previous incarnation of the dark-comedy back in 2017 had Luke Wilson and Tracy Morgan attached.
