Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

A few weeks ago /Film reported a rumor that John C. Reilly would star in Tim and Eric's upcoming movie: Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. It looks like that rumor is coming true, along with Will Ferrel, Zack Galifianakis, Jeff Goldblum, Will Forte, William Atherton and Robert Loggia joining the cast. F***ing amazing, I know. The premise is relatively simple: Tim and Eric direct a billion dollar movie and we get to see what can go wrong... I'm in. 

Hit the jump to hear what Tim and Eric have to say about their upcoming masterpiece.

In an exclusive interview with The Wrap, Tim Heidecker stated:

"It's definitely the biggest thing we've ever done in terms of scope of the size of the production. Relative to other films, it's tiny, but to us, it's the biggest thing we've ever done, the biggest crew we've ever worked with and the most professional thing we've ever done. And the challenge is to fight against the professionalism and keep things loose."

Movie of the year? Probably, and Mr. Heidecker would agree:

"It really is a benchmark in the timeline of American film comedies. The start of this production is going to be looked on as a day to remember. As principal shooting begins on a film that will change American comedy ... I just hope that the Academy is watching and they get on this boat early, because it's been a while since the Academy awarded the best picture Oscar to a comedy. It's long past due, but this film offers the Academy the perfect opportunity to award a best picture film to a comedy and maybe even preemptively. I don't know how that works, but we could be looking at a situation where the Oscar is awarded before the film is released."

Seriously, this sounds goddamn amazing. If you haven't jumped on the Tim and Eric band wagon, I highly suggest you do. It's an entirely different level of comedy.
