NBC’s Thursday night comedy lineup looks to be pooling its talented resources for a feature film.
Mandate Pictures has acquired an untitled comedy pitch from "Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari and "30 Rock" writer Matt Hubbard. Harris Wittels ("Parks and Rec," "Human Giant") is writing the film, which will reunite Ansari with his future "30 Minutes or Less" co-star Danny McBride.
Besides being attached to star in director Ruben Flesicher’s pizza deliveryman comedy, the unlikely comedy duo appeared separately in Jody Hill’s "Observe and Report." I think both actors are unique comic talents with very different strengths that should compliment each other nicely.
