It may have taken a few years, but the action comedy Masterminds, formerly known as Loomis Fargo when Jim Carrey was on board, has finally been completed and it packs one heavyweight cast. Directed by Napoleon Dynamite's Jared Hess, the film stars Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis as bumbling thieves who pulled off the greatest armored car heist in history. Yep, it's based on a true story and the first trailer has arrived. Here's the official synopsis:
In this action comedy based on true events, directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite; Nacho Libre), David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) discovers the true meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other people’s money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig) who soon lures him into the scheme of a lifetime.
Along with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers (Owen Wilson) and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible and makes off with $17 million in cash…only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall. With the bandits blowing the millions on lavish and ridiculous luxuries, they leave behind a glaring trail of evidence. Now on the lam and in over his head, David must dodge the authorities, evade a hilarious hit man, Mike McKinney (Jason Sudeikis), and try to turn the tables on the ones he trusted most.
This looks incredibly goofy, which shouldn't be surprise considering it was written by Danny McBride and Jody R. Hill of Eastbound & Down. Masterminds opens on August 7th.
