From Titmouse, Inc., creators of the hit animated series “Metalocalypse,” comes the feature-length animated adult comedy “Nerdland,” available on digital January 6th and on DVD February 7th, 2017, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Samuel Goldwyn Films. Paul Rudd (“Sausage Party,” “Ant Man”) and Patton Oswalt (“Ratatouille,” TV’s “The King of Queens”) lead an all-star comic voice cast in this entertaining tale of two showbiz nobodies (Rudd and Oswalt) determined to become famous at any cost. Featuring non-stop laughs, outrageously bold animation, and hilarious cameos, “Nerdland” also features the voice talent of Hannibal Burress (“The Angry Birds Movie”), Larraine Newman (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Mike Judge (TV’s “Beavis and Butt-Head”), Molly Shannon (“Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2”), Charlyne Yi (“Knocked Up”), and Paul Scheer (TV’s “The League”).
Aspiring actor JOHN (Paul Rudd) and wannabe screenwriter ELLIOT (Patton Oswalt) are slacker best friends who have seen their dreams of super-stardom fizzle. With their 30th birthdays looming and desperation growing, they decide that in this 24/7, celebrity-obsessed world of over-shared navel-gazing, there are more ways to get famous than ever before – so why not become famous by the end of the day, at any cost? With only the grudging support of a wacky collectible store owner (Hannibal Buress) and their one-sided love for a pair of equally fame hungry women (Riki Lindhome & Kate Micucci) to keep them going, John and Elliot troll Los Angeles on an attention grabbing journey of reckless publicity stunts and failed heroics. While navigating their hyper-stimulating landscape of consumerism gone wild, our disheartened duo inadvertently become key witnesses in a high profile crime that sets the news cycle on fire, making them household names… but only if they can survive the infamy and worldwide shame.
“Nerdland” was directed by Chris Prynoski (TV’s “Turbo FAST,” “Metalocalypse”) and written by Andrew Kevin Walker (“Sleepy Hollow,” “Se7en”). It was produced by Gavin Polone (“Zombieland”) and Andrew Kevin Walker. Executive producers are Chris Prynoski, Shannon Barrett Prynoski and Kathy Landsberg. It has a run time of approximately 85 minutes and is unrated.
Available on Digital January 6th & DVD February 7th
