Danny McBride’s had a tough 2011 at the box office. “Your Highness” and “30 Minutes or Less” were basically flops, but money isn’t everything, and McBride is a talented guy who seems to be well-liked by people who greenlight movies. He’d have to be after getting studios to shell out $50 million so he can wear a minotaur’s penis around his neck. Mandate Pictures is one such studio. They are moving forward with “Bullies,” a project set up with Roughhouse Pictures, the shingle run by McBride, David Gordon Green and Jody Hill. The commercial director Randy Krallman will make his…...

After a few duds like Land of the Lost, Your Highness and (personally speaking) 30 Minutes or Less, many have grown tired of Danny McBride. But I’ve still got faith in the guy, especially with more Eastbound & Down to come. He is exploring his producing side, as his first project under the Rough House banner with cohorts David Gordon Green, Jody Hill and Matt Reilly was the hilarious Sundance hit The Catechism Cataclysm.
The team is now prepping their second feature film, and as THR reports, they’ve found a director. You know all those E*Trade talking baby ads? Yep, the director of those commercials will make his feature directorial debut with Bullies. Randy Krallman has come aboard for the Mandate Pictures comedy based on McBride’s idea and written by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (behind the animated show Allen Gregory).

[1] Over a year after we first heard about it [2], Danny McBride's comedy Bullies is finally coming together. Commercial director Randy Krallman has closed a deal to helm the feature, which will be his first. Krallman is the creative mind behind those ubiquitous E*Trade baby ads and has won several accolades for his work, including the Clio. In addition, the project is expected to begin casting shortly. More details after the jump. Bullies was penned by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (co-creators of Fox's Allen Gregory) from an idea by McBride, and revolves around "two brothers who have bullied people their whole life and finally get what is coming to them." The Mandate Pictures film is being produced by McBride with David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, and Matt Reilly, all of Rough House Pictures. McBride is also lined up to star in the picture, we're presuming as one of the brothers.

Mandate Pictures announced the commercial director Randy Krallman will direct the comedy “Bullies.” It will be the feature directorial debut for Krallman. The film is about two brothers who have bullied people their whole life and finally will get what is coming to them. The screenplay is written by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (“Yes Man”) from an original idea from comedian-actor Danny McBride (“Your Highness,” “East Bound and Down”). “This is one of the most audacious scripts in years. Not only is it is absolutely hilarious, but it also tackles a topical, relevant issue in a fun, smart and provocative way,” said producer Matt Reilly. Krallman is known for directing commercials for products including eTrade, Skittles, NY Lottery, Sony, At&T, Motorola, Direct TV and Comcast. He had garnered awards from The One Show, Art Director’s Club, Cannes International Advertising Festival, Sundance Film Festival and Clio Awards. He most recently helmed “The Gift,...

Bullying is a hot topic these days, with much public debate on subjects like Facebook harassment and teen suicides. The problem isn't going anywhere and there are no easy answers on how to resolve the problem. Or are there? Surely, if such an answer exists, one man, and one man alone, would hold that knowledge. That man is Danny McBride, and his answer seems to be "take the piss out of it." According to THR, that's the idea behind Bullies, a new Mandate Pictures comedy based on an idea by McBride. That idea was expanded into a full script by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, two of the dudes behind the new Fox animated comedy Allen Gregory (which you can find Kelly's thoughts on right here). Manning the helm will be commercials director Randy Krallman, making his feature film debut. So what is Bullies' take on the whole bullying phenomenon?...

The 30 Minutes or Less and Your Highness star will play one of two brothers who bully people their whole lives, until one day they get a taste of their own medicine. Is this the perfect comedy vehicle for McBride or what?...

Commercial director Randy Krallman is making the leap into feature films with Mandate Pictures. Comingsoon reports that he will direct Bullies from a story concept by Danny McBride (Your Highness, HBO's Eastbound & Down, Pineapple Express). Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (Yes Man, Allen Gregory) scripted the comedy, which will be produced by Rough House Pictures.
Bullies follows two brothers who have bullied people their whole life and finally get what is coming to them, will be produced by Rough House principals McBride, David Gordon Green, Jody Hill and Matt Reilly. Casting is planned to begin immediately, but there is no word whether McBride will star.
I am a huge fan of McBride, and have been since The Foot Fist Way. Yes Man was a good movie, so let's hope this will be hilarious as well. Watch a video below of Krallman's Starburst commercial, which is really funny. What are your thoughts?...
