Dax Shepard & Wil Arnett "Are Going to Prison"

by | April 7, 2005 | Comments

Variety brings news of an all-new comedy flick that’s just about to get underway. "You Are Going to Prison" will star Wil Arnett (of TV’s "Arrested Development") and Dax Shepard ("Without a Paddle") as a mismatched pair of convicts forced to share the same cell. (One’s a grizzled con, the other’s a white-collar snob.) Bob Odenkirk ("Melvin Goes to Dinner") has been signed to direct; screenwriters on the scene include Thomas Lennon ("The Pacifier"), Robert Ben Garant ("Taxi") and Michael Patrick Jann ("Drop Dead Gorgeous"). Producer Marc Abraham has high hopes for the project: he’s shooting for "the holy grail of demographics — young males and, in this case, young demented males."
