June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jason-SudeikisIt’s got a great cast even if it doesn’t have a name. The untitled film previously called Loomis Fargo already has Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig attached to star, and now they may be joined by Jason Sudeikis, who is in talks to star.

The movie is loosely based on a true story about an armoured truck driver (Galifianakis) who is convinced to help participate in a $17 million robbery. However his partners are quick to turn on him once the job is done and leave him stranded in Mexico while they go off to live the high life. Then it’s time to settle the score.

Wilson is set to play the leader of the half-baked criminal, while Wiig will be Galifianakis’ love interest. It’s not clear who Sudeikis will be.

Assuming he signs on the dotted line, Jason will be on the film’s set when it starts shooting in July, with Jared Hess directing. (Source: Variety)

Owen Wilson Joins Jim Carrey In The Heist Comedy Loomis Fargo

June 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

owen-wilsonOwen Wilson is picking himself up from a disappointing first weekend at the US box office for his comedy, The Internship, by signing up to star in Loomis Fargo (which may be in the process of changing its name), alongside Jim Carrey.

Deadline reports the news, but doesn’t say exactly who Wilson will play. Loosely based on a true story, it follows an armoured truck driver who is convinced to help participate in a $17 million robbery, but his partners are quick to turn on him once the job is done and leave him stranded in Mexico while they go off to live the high life. Then it’s time to settle the score.

The presumption is that Carrey is playing the driver, but it could be that role is going to Wilson. We’ll have to wait and see.

Jim Carrey Circling Heist Movie Loomis Fargo

October 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jim Carrey has recently been shooting a cameo as Colonel Stars in Kick-Ass 2, which he’s hoping will give his career a bit of a boost. Now he’s mulling starring in a film called Loomis Fargo, about one of the biggest heists in US history, according to TheWrap.

The story follows four men in the American south who managed to get $17 million out of an armed Loomis Fargo truck. It isn’t known exactly who Carrey would play, but the main players are a “former company employee, David Scott Ghantt, who struck up a relationship with a fellow employee, Kelly Campbell, who then introduced Ghantt to an old school friend, Steve Chambers, who helped pull off the robbery.”

Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess will direct, with production planned to begin early next year in North Carolina, as a long as a few final financing issues are sorted.

Napoleon Dynamite Helmer Jared Hess Set For Disney’s The Pet

March 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jared Hess’ career so far hasn’t really lived up to the promise of Napoleon Dynamite, with the director’s last movie, Gentleman Broncos, completely flopping. However he’s now returning and it seems he wants to go a bit more mainstream as Variety reports that producer Scott Rudin and Disney have signed Hess to direct the sci-fi family comedy, The Pet.

The film is based on an original concept from Matt Lieberman, which follows a man who gets abducted by aliens, is taken to their planet and then turned into a family pet. The script was recently rewritten by Timothy Dowling.

It’s certainly a potentially fun premise, and hopefully Hess can do it proud.
