The Fyzz Facility announced today that Russell Brand (Arthur, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek) will star in the action comedy Butterfingers, which will be directed by Barnaby Southcombe (I, Anna) and is based on a script by Tom Nash (Full Nelson, Percentages).
Butterfingers follows the story of a lonely and down-on-his-luck hitman Keith (Brand) — also known as Butterfingers — as he competes against archrival Perry who is hot after the same target in Spain.
Mark Lane from The Fyzz Facility stated, “Tom has written a brilliantly funny script that finds a new fan with every read.
The Fyzz Facility will produce alongside Embargo Films.
