Rudd and Scott become 'Big Brothers'

Rather than joining the appalling TV show, they'll be starring in a new comedy feature of the same name.

Jan 30 2007

The very talented Paul Rudd and the not quite as talented Seann William Scott have signed up to star in 'Big Brothers', a none-too-funny sounding comedy about two devious beer reps.

The story follows their entry into the Big Brother program, which isn't a TV show involving foul-mouthed chavs victimising foreign guests, but rather a scheme in which the old mentor the young.

Being bad, bad men however, the advice that Rudd and Scott give the youngsters assigned to them is terrible, doubtless leading to 'side-splitting' consequences.

'The Animal' helmer Luke Greenfield will direct the project, which originally started life as a drama before producer Mary Parent saw its comic potential. However, in spite of the genre turnaround, The TOMB confidently predicts that 'Big Brothers' will still lack laughs.
