Danny McBride Biography

In Hollywood it is not uncommon for a film to completely stall and be revived years down the road. That trend continues with a glimmer of hope for Fox’s futuristic comedy Used Guys which once touted director Jay Roach (Meet the Parents) and was set to star Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey in a world run by women where guys are traded like cars. While the film was initially canned for a number of issues including a blossoming budget upwards of $100 million a less expensive version may go into production. According to Variety (via The Playlist) Danny McBride is attached to play the role originally held by Carrey. This would be the third shot at getting Used Guys to finally lens and a lot is still uncertain at this stage with production slated for late next year. Hit the jump to see all that has changed over the past four years and what Jay Roach had to say about the film earlier this year.
Things were looking up for Used Guys last year as Stiller was still attached and Reese Witherspoon was set to join him in a lead role (which was rumored to be the rejigged role of Carrey). Additionally Little Miss Sunshine helmers Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton were set to direct in place of Roach. However nothing seemed to move on the project as news on the film went dark. With the new report of McBride coming on board there is also the confirmation that Faris and Dayton are still attached but that leaves many questions unanswered. Stiller has been there from the start so it’s unlikely that he has suddenly lost interest. Witherspoon’s role seems to be the trickiest of the bunch. McBride is said to be taking over Carrey’s role but it is unclear whether that was said just to play nice with the sexes or the script has changed again. Carrey had replaced Emily Mortimer originally and then Carrey’s role was supposedly rejigged to fit Witherspoon when he dropped out and she came on board. So it has reportedly gone from female male female male. I told you there was uncertainty about the project.
