I’m under an embargo so strict that it involves sacrificing the lives of my nearest and dearest if I break it, but while I was on the set of David Gordon Green’s upcoming Your Highness I learned that not only will this film – which finds Danny McBride and James Franco as mismatched brothers in a heroic fantasy story – be profane and filthy, it’ll also be weird and probably awesome. And while the original script included more weed humor (thus the Your Highness joke) it won’t be quite so prominent in the final film. In other words, this isn’t Lord of the Pineapple Express (although weed was much less prominent in Pineapple Express than it really seems).
This picture is your first look at the movie, and your first look at Danny McBride in one of his many fantasy hero outfits. In the picture is Zooey Deschanel, who plays a damsel in distress, along with James Franco, who is her beloved and the chivalrous yin to McBride’s slacker yang. Not pictured: Natalie Portman as a foul-mouthed warrior and Justin Theroux as one hell of a wizard.
Look for this one in October.

That just there what you typed up above is the recipe for awesome Devin.
I hope Portman is actually funny and not just relying on "Ooh, the pretty girl just said Suck a Cunt!!" titillation. The rest sounds bang on.
Danny McBride in medieval armor, Natalie Portman cursing & Zooey Daschanel = my ass in seat on opening night.
I enjoyed Franco's comedic turn in the extremly over-hyperbolized Pineapple Express, but I was tired of McBride almost the moment he showed up. I wish the ad-lib version of comedy would have died years ago because watching it unfold is half as funny and twice as painful when it fails.
Set visit = 10/10
let the inevitably unjustified hyperbole begin!!!!!!!!!!!!
4: If you have seen Eastbound and Down and can still say that then you probably just have no soul.
What's the story here? Is this "A Connecticut Yankee With King Arthur's Weed," or will McBride's mullet be more anachronistic than usual?
I'm beginning to suspect there is something deeply wrong with Descchanel's forehead. Medievil Bangs.
