Mandate Pictures digs Bullies

Danny McBride’s Bullies is getting some awesome financial backing as Mandate Pictures scoops up the comedy. Those already picked to pen the film are Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, who’s previous work includes the Jim Carrey film Yes Man. The comedy centers on two brothers who have bullied people their whole lives and finally get what is coming to them (THR).

Set to produce is McBride, Jody Hill, David Gordon Green and Matt Riley under the Rough House Productions label. There’s no set date at the moment for principal photography, but given the fact that it’s pretty knee-deep in pre-production, it’ll possibly start up by the end of the year.

McBride is lending his voice in the Universal Pictures animated film Despicable Me, poised to come out in theaters on July 9th.
