Jack Aubrey Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) From our friends at Dark Horizons: Toronto-raised comedy director Ivan Reitman will be in the city Tuesday but not for the festival, rather to finalise a deal to finance and executive produce a Canadian movie about homegrown trailer trash according to The Hollywood Reporter. Reitman will executive produce the comedy that stars Ricky, Bubbles and Julian, the main characters of "Trailer Park Boys," a 4-year-old cult TV hit in Canada that now airs on BBC America. The series follows three Nova Scotia dope-smoking ex-convicts living among friends and family in the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park, and is shot in the style of a faux documentary. The hard-living characters have become Canadian icons in only a few short years on cable but the show only crossed the border in recent months. The project will be directed by the TV show's creator, director and writer Mike Clattenburg. The Canadian government is planning on using Reitman's boxoffice pull as the centerpiece of its strategy to boost the domestic boxoffice there to 5% by 2006. Reitman has produced such classics as 'Ghostbusters' and 'Animal House'. Edited September 14, 2004 by Jack Aubrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this show, as raw as it is.... One discrepency with Dark Horizons, though, Bubbles is not an ex-con Ricky and Julian are for sure, but not Bubbles. They even kept him out at the end of the 3rd seasons when they flipped the trailor running from the cops (Bubbles pretends he is a farmer on the land LOL ) Can't wait to see this movie!!! Thanks for the info Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
