Role Models
The renewed popularity of the R-rated comedy over the past several years has been marked by performances from two men who play seemingly irredeemable characters you just cant help but root for. Bringing their complementary comic styles—withering commentary and acid tongue-lashings to meet bawdy humor mixed with countless sexual conquests—PAUL RUDD (Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT (American Pie series, Old School) have joined for their first film together: Role Models. In the latest comedy from director DAVID WAIN (The Ten, Wet Hot American Summer, MTVs The State), Rudd and Scott star as Danny and Wheeler, two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program called Sturdy Wings. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesnt look half bad. Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie (CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE of Superbad, upcoming The Year One) through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy just dumped by his girlfriend, Beth (ELIZABETH BANKS of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, The 40-Year-Old Virgin), has only sarcasm to offer a bashful 16-year-old obsessed with medieval role play. Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth grader named Ronnie (newcomer BOBBE J. THOMPSON) in redirecting his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnies new mentor wasnt an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes keggers in Venice Beach. Once Sturdy Wings ex-addict/ex-con director, Sweeny (JANE LYNCH of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), gives them an ultimatum to shape up, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their kids. And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the worlds worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child. Directed from a screenplay by Paul Rudd David Wain KEN MARINO (The Ten, Diggers) and TIMOTHY DOWLING (George Lucas in Love, upcoming Shes Out of My League), the comedy is from a story by Timothy Dowling and WILLIAM BLAKE HERRON (The Bourne Identity, Ripley Under Ground). Role Models creative team is led by producers MARY PARENT (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, The Kingdom), SCOTT STUBER (The Break-Up, You, Me and Dupree) and LUKE GREENFIELD (The Girl Next Door, The Animal). Key crew includes editor ERIC KISSACK (The Ten, Birds of America), director of photography RUSS T. ALSOBROOK (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), production designer STEPHEN LINEWEAVER (Blades of Glory, Jerry Maguire) and costume designer MOLLY MAGINNIS (The Bucket List, Norbit). The executive producers for the comedy are DAN KOLSRUD (The Fog, 13 Going on 30), ANDREW Z. DAVIS (Red Dragon, Rush Hour 2), MATT SEIGEL (televisions House Broken), WILLIAM SHERAK (Darkness Falls, Little Black Book) and JASON SHUMAN (The Messengers, Little Black Book). http://www.blacktree.tv join our social network at http://my.blacktree.tv
