Movie 43 – Trailer, gallery & Release dates
Movie 43 is a comedy that sounds like a humourous version of Cloud Atlas except that rather than the cast plays many parts you have many (famous) cast and many directors!
The actual genesis was from the 1977 film Kentucky Fried Movie but that had the cast playing many roles in different segments and one overall director.
To give you an idea of the sort of crazy comedy it is here is the explaination from the producers, Charlie Wessler and Peter Farrelly, of the title Movie 43 for this film…
Charlie Wessler: Tell them where the name Movie 43 came from. Cause it was, for a long time, just called “Farrelly/Wessler Untitled Comedy.” And then one day, Pete calls me up and goes, “I got a title! I got a title!” I go, “What is it?” He says, “Movie 43.”
Peter Farrelly: Oh, yeah. So I’m driving my son and his friends home, and they were about ten, and I’m listening to them talking. And they start going, “Did you see this on the internet? Did you guys ever see ‘Movie 43?’” I perked up, “’Movie 43?’ What’s ‘Movie 43?’
He goes, “Oh, it’s this great movie, it’s online. It’s supposed to be crazy, it’s nuts!” Well, they’d never seen it, and it turned out it didn’t actually exist. But the name stuck in my head.
Charlie Wessler: We talked about it for months. And then Rocky and Jeremy came up with this idea of the kids sitting in a room, and one of them says, “Hey we should see ‘Movie 43.’” So that’s how it came about.
