Franco, McBride re-team on comedy
'Pineapple Express' director behind 'Highness'
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Scripted by McBride and Ben Best, the comedy follows two spoiled and arrogant princes in a medieval fantasy setting. When an evil wizard casts a spell on their father and kidnaps the older prince's fiance, they're forced to go on a quest to save their family and the kingdom.

Stuber Co.'s Jon Mone, McBride and Mark Huffam are executive producers.

Franco starred for Green in Columbia Pictures comedy "Pineapple Express," which also starred McBride.

Last seen in "Milk," Franco plays poet Allen Ginsberg in the Rob Epstein/Jeffrey Friedman-directed "Howl."

David Gordon Green McBride is hilarious in Eastbound and Down (which Green directed a few episodes of)

Can't wait.

 

[Dr. Evil]

This should be good. Pineapple Express shows that Franco can do comedy, which was something he hadn't done since Freaks and Geeks.

 

[Sawyer]

The premise sounds dumb, but I'm sure the creative team will make it work.

 

[Episode29]

While I love Franco and Green, McBride thus far has proved about as funny as bowel cancer. In my humble opinion, of course.

Have you seen Eastbound and Down?

Have you seen Eastbound and Down?

No. My opinion is based solely on his work in Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder and Drillbit Taylor.

 

[Threshold]

This sounds great. I hope it's got a 'Masters of the Universe' vibe to it.

But... less outwardly homoerotic, yes?

 

[Dark Donnie]

No. My opinion is based solely on his work in Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder and Drillbit Taylor.

He had a little bit more to work with in Pineapple Express....but he is the star of the show in Eastbound and Down. I've heard he's funny in the Foot Fist Way

 

[Prison Mike]

sounds funny.

 

[StorminNorman]

Who else read the title of "Highness" combined with Franco and assumed this would be a stoner flick?

[Pink Ranger]

I will look forward to this movie, although I also thought Year One was a can't miss comedy, and look what happened.

Any chance of a small role for Seth Roegen wearing nothing but a leather loincloth would be more than welcome, of course.

 

[ross2287]

The fact that Zooey Deschanel, Natalie Portman and James Franco are in this make me excited.

The fact that Danny McBride is in it makes me sad.

 

[Crockett]

This project could be good, looking forward to see more. Anyway here's a article from Chud's set visit part 1. Has also a few new images.
