American laugh-grabbing team Mail Order Comedy have become regulars in both movies and TV, particularly via their series Workaholics. Now, Blake Anderson, one of the co-creators/stars and the show's regular director Kyle Newacheck are teaming with Marvel regulars Joe and Anthony Russo for a very different type of action with Sexcastle.
The film will adapt Kyle Starks' graphic novel, originally funded by the writer and artist via Kickstarter. As described by the man himself, the madness unfolding within means "it’s me doing a personal redemption story in the style of 80s Action movies. It’s got nunchucks, it’s got explosions, assassin gangs, presidential requests, hole digging, subtext about parental responsibility, fight after fight, tough guy dialogue for days. It’s really good."
Anderson will be playing the lead, Shane Sexcastle, described as the world's greatest retired assassin who is, as you might be able to guess, pulled back into his old line of work. Newacheck will direct the film, with the Russos as producers and 20th Century Fox stumping up the money to develop and potentially distribute it.
