Peter Dinklage, Dave Franco and O'Shea Jackson Jr are teaming up for a new comedy film titled The Shitheads.
Written and directed by Macon Blair, the upcoming film will star Franco as "cynical degenerate" Mark and Jackson as "bumbling idealist" Davis (via Deadline).
When the pair hit rock bottom, they sign up for a job at a shady transport service, where they are tasked with transporting a troubled teen named Sheridan to rehab.

The synopsis continues: "But Sheridan has other plans and what starts as a simple road trip becomes an unhinged odyssey of drug-fueled disasters, near-death experiences, and criminal encounters.
"Out of their minds and in way over their heads, Mark and Davis find the courage to face their failures and realize that it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the shitheads you meet along the way."

The Game of Thrones actor previously collaborated with Blair on the 2024 action comedy Brothers, in which he starred opposite Josh Brolin. Blair wrote the film's script alongside The Bad Guys' Etan Cohen.
Dinklage and Blair also teamed up for upcoming film The Toxic Avenger, which is both written and directed by Blair.
The reimagining of the 1984 cult classic stars Dinklage as Winston Gooze, a janitor who transforms into a mutant vigilante after a freak accident.
Following its premiere at Fantastic Fest in September 2023, it was recently confirmed that The Toxic Avenger will be released in US cinemas this year.
"I’m beyond grateful to the team behind The Toxic Avenger who were so supportive and steady-handed as we searched for the perfect distribution partner for our film," said Blair.
"It’s so cool that folks will have the chance to see this in theatres, it’s a fun rowdy movie you want to see with a crowd. Mutant hero smashes bad guys with a mop: perfect entertainment for the whole family!"
