Are Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari going the comedy duo route?
Last month, we learned that Ansari and McBride would be appearing together in Ruben Fleischer's 30 MINUTES OR LESS. Though that film yet to start shooting, Deadline New York's Mike Fleming is reporting that these two funny fellas have just set up another project at Mandate Pictures. Plot details are nonexistent, but we do know the untitled comedy will be written by Harris Wittles (based on a pitch by Ansari and 30 ROCK's Matt Hubbard), and produced by Rough House gang of McBride, Jody Hill, David Gordon Green and Matt Reilly.
I have no idea if McBride & Ansari are looking to become their generation's Wilder & Pryor or Conway & Korman, but I'm certainly open to the idea - even though we've yet to see what kind of onscreen chemistry they've got. It'll be smoldering, I'm sure.
