Danny McBride and his Eastbound and Down posse head downtown today shooting at the fantastic Manna restaurant downtown as well as the Wilmington Convention Center. They have over 100 extras on hand today…I smell fun! Oh, and a quick trip tot he rumor mill. Regardless of this being the “last season,” a source told me talk was heard about HBO really liking what they have seen so far, and it might not be a final season after all. But that is definitely just rumor! Danny and Jody Hill are busy enough with another HBO show plus, Loomis Fargo, but you never know!
The Eastbound and Down folks are shooting at Maides Park, on Manly Ave today. It looks at though Danny and Jody have been very busy this year. Earlier this week, I reported that the writing duo have written Loomis Fargo which is shooting in North Carolina later this year. But that’s not the only thing happening with these talented guys. Danny McBride and Jody Hill are working on a new 1/2 hour comedy revolving around high school, While at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Beverly Hills yesterday, Michael Lombardo, president, HBO programming, said, “They’re taking a look at high school life — its a really great, funny, quintessentially Danny and Jody idea.”
And speaking of maybes remember when I brought up Loomis Fargo months ago! What light can we shed on bank heist movie? The Jim Carrey flick (that has been in “pre-production”) for months now supposedly here in Wilmywood has attached another actor to its roster. Looks like Owen Wilson will join in on the bank robbing in this comedy flick. On a sidenote, Danny McBride and Jody Hill are two of the writers on this movie. I’m thinkin’ a rollover here! Just stay here and keep filming! Eastbound Film Crew can roll over as well! My sources are telling me they have been some verbals hires, but I cannot confirm that. Yet anyway! Hopefully that is their plan with Relativity Media!
