Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt have signed on the dotted line to star in Todd Rohal’s latest (as yet untitled) film, an outlandish yet poignant comedy about a pair of battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a last ditch camping trip that goes wildly wrong. Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney & Patrice O’Neal also star in the film, which is also written by Rohal. The film comes hot on the heels of the Sundance success of his second feature film, THE CATECHISM CATACLYSM. The film, which is loosely based on Rohal’s experiences growing up, begins production this week.
It is being produced by Big Beach, one of the leading indie film production companies out there. The film is being financed by Marc Turtletaub’s and Peter Saraf’s Big Beach Films. Turtletaub, Saraf and Lisa Muskat are producing, David Gordon Green is executive producing, and Michael Clark and John Hodges will oversee production for Big Beach.
