Mr. Show: The Movie
It looks like there may be another David Cross/Bob Odenkirk collaboration on the horizon, in the form of a big screen adaptation of their cult comedy sketch series Mr. Show. In an interview with Premiere this month, Odenkirk recently revealed that he and Cross had written a script, and that they hope to shoot the movie this fall. I’m assuming a lot will rely on Cross’ schedule, as the man seems to be everywhere lately with a million projects on the go. (Granted, the cancellation of Arrested Development probably opened up his schedule considerably.) I have to wonder though, can a Mr. Show movie really work? Would it be a collection of sketches, or would it follow a specific character like the previous Mr. Show spin-off film Run Ronnie Run? Quite often comedy sketches are simply not made to last 90 minutes. I suppose we’ll find out their plans soon enough, but with the talent involved it definitely has potential.

in theory, a Mr. Show movie should work out similarly to a Monty Python one, probably most like “the meaning of life”
in theory….
they need a real director, and not a friend, like Troy Miller was on “ronnie”.
