Untitled Duplass Brothers project gets some details

The Duplass brothers have been shooting their “Untitled Duplass Brothers Project” for the last 6 weeks and we finally get some details on the film. It stars Jonah Hill as the son of a single mother (Marisa Tomei) who begins a relationship with a 40-something guy (John C. Reilly) with a failed marriage in his past. We get this from MTV Movie Blog:

“[Tomei’s character] is very much out of his league,” Duplass explained to MTV News in a recent interview. “They light up an incredible relationship but she doesn’t really let him in and he finds himself on the other side of the coin, like wanting the snuggle and he can’t get it.”

Reilly soon discovers that she’s been hiding the fact the she has a grown son. The three of them end up having “a very bizarre, codependent relationship,” he said. “It almost develops into some obtuse love triangle, as John and Jonah wrestle for the feelings of Marisa.”

Whatever the film ends up being called—and whenever it comes out; Fox Searchlight is shooting for late this year or early next—it will strive for the same tone as “Puffy Chair” and 2008’s “Baghead.” “It’s very funny, but it’s also rooted in the humanity of these characters and a lot about what it means to be a little lonely and a little lost and trying to find your way in the world, but at the same time, all the ridiculous funny s— you do trying to find your way,” Duplass said.

Its not secret that I absolutely love everything these guys work on, and this film is packed with a star studded actors instead of their normally indie casts. This movie sounds fantastic and I think this will really elevate these guys into the spotlight more than they already are.
