EXCLUSIVE: Renee Zellweger is set to make her directorial debut
with 4 1/2 MINUTES, a comedy in which she'll star opposite
Johnny
Knoxville, reports
Variety's
Jeff Sneider. Written by
Anthony Tambakis (WARRIOR) and based on the life and
comedy of real-life stand-up Dov Davidoff, who shares story credit, 4 1/2
MINUTES follows Jimmy Bennett (Knoxville), a commitment-phobic, train-wreck
of a comedian whose life is falling apart when he takes a job looking after the
genius son of single mom P.J. Andersen (Zellweger). Story is set in the New York City stand-up comedy world, and production is
skedded to start in Gotham in February.
