Tim and Eric movie to be produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay



"Besides the movie, Tim and Eric are finishing up Check It Out!, the Awesome Show spin-off featuring John C. Reilly's ineffable Dr. Steve Brule as he heads out of the studio and onto the streets for some "man about town"-style journalism. Wareheim reports that bits will leak into the fifth season of Awesome Show, which is scheduled for production this summer, with Check It Out! debuting sometime in "late '09, early 2010."

But wait! That's not all, T&E junkies! The duo will contribute four sketches to the HBO debut of Funny or Die, a half-hour program filled with bite-size videos sprung from the twisted minds of the many comedians who contribute to FunnyorDie.com, the website started in 2006 by Ferrell and McKay.

Wareheim offered tantalizing details about two of the four: one is a "sitcom" dubbed "Just Three Boys," featuring him, Tim, and frequent collaborator Zach Galifianakis; another is a "religious talk show called 'Morning Prayer with Scott and Bear'" with guests Will Forte, Bob Odenkirk, and Frank Black (yes, that Frank Black). The Funny or Die TV show began production this spring, but no air dates have been set yet."

hmmmm
