A basic plot outline on the tentatively-titled comedy Olympic-Size Asshole, which is to star Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation) and Danny McBride (Land of the Lost, Pineapple Express) has reached us. Speaking to MTV, McBride said this about the project, which will re-team the two, who are currently working on the Ruben Fleischer-directed 30 Minutes or Less:
Olympic-Size A–hole is a film they set up through a company that I work with called Rough House. It’s about this Olympic athlete who comes back to his hometown and he bangs mine and Aziz’s girlfriends. So we go on this mission to destroy his Olympic life.
In some ways reminiscent of Eastbound and Down, which is no bad thing, the plot promises some classic revenge-comedy, though this time McBride won’t be the asshole (which he normally plays so well) in question. Will Ferrell‘s name will, I’m sure, be linked with the title character, but I’d like to see Jason Bateman, who could add something else to the role.
What do you think of the plot to Olympic-Size Asshole?
