2012 Sundance Predictions: Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie

Date:

#68. Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie – Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker

A different kind of DIY model that I’m sure fest programmers appreciate, after building their presence via TV and online sketches the comedic duo of Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker landed a feature filmmaking gig not so contrarian to the budgets of films presented at the fest with the aptly titled, Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie. Featuring tons of the Funny or Die crew, Magnolia Pictures have pegged a release date of March 3rd and might want to feature it at the festival in the Premieres section.

Gist: Two guys get a billion dollars to make a movie, only to watch their dream run off course.

Producers: Heidecker, Wareheim, Jon Mugar, Ben Cosgrove, Dave Kneebone, Adam McKay, Kevin J. Messick and Todd Wagner
