Some people may think this a bit of an exaggeration, but this has to potential to be the best Canadian based film news of all time. It looks like Ivan Reitman is about to put his weight behind getting a film version of The Trailer Parks Boys to the big screen. For those of you who have never heard of it, it’s a Canadian show that has developed a huge following and is just hilarious. Cinescape gives us the following:
GHOSTBUSTERS director Ivan Reitman is working on a deal that will see him executive produce a TRAILER PARK BOYS feature film. The movie is based on a four-year-old hit TV series that airs in Canada about a trio of borderline criminals that grow dope and who live in a trailer park. The show has begun airing on BBC America. The movie version of the series will be directed by the show’s creator, Mike Clattenburg. Reitman, who is a Canadian by birth, will also help provide financing for the movie. It’s likely that the series stars will reprise their roles for the film.
If this really does get made, and they do it right… wow this could be good.
