Sounds great. I hope this will happen.

[alexsm]

That would be great!

[BAYsplosions!]

Love the idea of Ed Harris being involved in the film.
Loved his character in The Rock and
basically anything else I've seen him in.
If they can get The Rock, Mark Walhberg,
and Ed Harris that would be fantastic.
I really hope this happens.
Really lookin forward to this film.

Yeah he's awesome, good pick.

Dwayne Johnson: "We're in pre-production, and we're all - meaning my team and Paramount and Michael Bay - crossing "t"s and dotting "i"s. I've known Michael for some time, this has been a passion project of his, he gave me the script to read years ago, I loved it and wanted to make it then. Unfortunately, we have a very small window of time to shoot it before I go off and film Fast Six."

Don't like the sound of "...we have a very small window of time to shoot it...", but I'm sure Michael can pull it off.

I loved that I interview. Hilarious.

Looks like Mark Wahlberg will be part of P&G after all. Great!

From comingsoon.net:

We have also learned that Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg will start shooting Michael Bay's Pain and Gain in Miami in April.

From comingsoon.net:

Are you serious? O_o this is such a awesome cast so far! :borat

BTW Ed Harris was awesome in Enemy at the Gates, i should see that movie again sometime..

[Bayhem]

So...Wahlberg's in, which is great news for me, because in my view the man is really talented and is simply perfect for that story. Now all I want to hear is that Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina are both composing the score... and that John Schwartzman will be the DP.

Dream team.

[Albershide]

Rob Corddry has been added to the project. Never heard of him.


Possible SPOILER ahead:

"Corddry will play John Mese, a former competitive bodybuilder who now owns the gym where Wahlberg's character works as a personal trainer. His past as an accountant and notary makes him a valuable though unwilling member of Wahlberg's scheme."

The man is hilarious. Especially in "Hot Tub Time Machine".

Good choice for "Pain & Gain".

[r-type]

Cool.

I like Corddry's stint on the Daily Show and his supporting roles in Hot Tub Time Machine and Harold & Kumar 2.

Should provide for some interesting comic relief.

[Bot of Badassness]

There will be some great comic relief in the film going by what's in the article.

[Flyingheart]

Haha yeah awesome choice i also liked him in HTTM and TDSwithJS, but i read they are "in talks" with him cause he has a busy year in front of him... Lets hope he can join this awesome cast

Hey Nelson, I've only read part 1 and that alone seems like enough material for a movie (a good 90 minutes). Is the film going to be an adaptation of all 3 parts or just the first one?

All 3.

[Stephen e-tech]

Looking forward to this, love Michael Bays work

[Bot of Badassness]

All 3.

Thanks Nelson, guess Bay is going for a 150min running time. I do hope he doesn't cut much from part 1, there's so much materiel in there that suits his style of filming (cuts, camera angles, comedy) and which would look good up on the screen.

Better start reading up on the other two parts!

According to S4TE twitter page, Tony Shalhoub (Monk) may join the cast of P&G. Another great choice.

You know what's funny about this? John Tuturro played Adrian Monk's brother in that show.

Anthony Mackie also reportedly in talks.

Would be yet another great addition.

Interesting.

It better be rated R...or...18A in Canada. R doesn't exist up here...except in porn. Rate it R if it's porn. Michael Bay directed porn.
