From the warped mind of Bobcat Goldthwait (yup, he’s a director now…check out World’s Greatest Dad), comes this film which follows a man who can’t take the stupidity anymore, and, in an effort to fend off an Idiocracy-like culture, goes on a killing spree.

Ok, Bobcat. You’ve got our interest.

In the film, a pitch-black comedy, a man is driven to suicide by both the state of the world and his own life, only to find that perhaps he could serve a higher purpose by dispatching those who dumb down pop culture to near-clinical levels. He finds a tweenage girl to serve as the Bonnie to his Clyde as he goes around clearing the streets and airwaves of the dregs of America.

Well done, Bobcat. Well done.

The film hits OnDemand on April 6 and theaters May 11.

Wait no more, fans of stuff being remade! The project will be helmed by Limitless director Neil Burger, based on a script from Sheldon Turner. The source material for the script, Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde actually differs quite a bit from the 1967 film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It reportedly doesn’t paint the duo with such a glamourous brush, so I guess one could say it’s “gritty.”

The book posits that Clyde was sexually abused in prison and Bonnie was a whore. Ok. Fine. I’m sold. I will see this film. No word on casting or timeline here, but the wheels are in motion, and with the pedigree of the story, and the recent modest success of Limitless, expect these roles to be a hot ticket in Hollywood. (Deadline)
