The Farrelly Brothers (Bobby and Peter) Talk MOVIE 43 [Spoilers]

Here is what Peter had to say about Movie 43 and how it came together:

“Movie 43 is the brain child of Charlie Wessler, who produces lots of our movies. Basically, he wanted to do a Kentucky Fried Movie type of movie with a bunch of shorts, but we didn’t want to do one that was just one short after another with no connection. So, what Movie 43 is, is that kind of movie with a wrap-around and the wrap-around is two 15-year-old stoners and their 11-year-old egghead brother/computer whiz, who are trying to find the elusive Movie 43. It’s the most banned movie in the world. It was banned in all countries because it’s so subversive. They have heard about it and they are trying to find it on the Internet. They keep breaking into other banned sites and movie archives, and finding these other shorts. After every two or three movies, you come back to these kids who are still looking, but someone is trying to stop them from finding Movie 43 and that starts turning. So, there is a plot within the shorts. We have something happening in the wrap-around.”

Peter also states tha the film was made for $5 million, it’s a hard R, and the cast is made up of Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Richard Gere, Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Halle Berry, Stephen Merchant, Johnny Knoxville, Emma Stone, Chloe Moretz, and many more.
