Coming to theaters August 12^th is director Ruben Fleisher’s 30 Minutes or Less.  The film, which reteams Fleisher with his Zombieland star Jesse Eisenberg, tells the story of a pizza delivery boy who is strapped with a bomb and forced to rob a bank in order to help two hapless criminals (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) raise $100,000 to pay a hitman.  Along the way, Eisenberg enlists his best friend, (Aziz Ansari) to help with the heist.

I got on the phone with Danny McBride earlier this morning to discuss the film.  We’ll have the full interview for you closer to the film’s release date, but today we have a quick update  the upcoming final season of Eastbound & Down, McBride’s other upcoming HBO series and the hints as a possible continuation of the adventures of Kenny Powers.  Hit the jump for the quotes.
