Fresh off their Oscar win for The Descendants in the Best Adapted Screenplay category, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash have sold an original action-comedy pitch to Indian Paintbrush. Variety reports that Kristen Wiig—a nominee herself in the Best Original Screenplay section with Bridesmaids—is attached to star. Details are scarce, but that is already a very talented roster if the deals come together. Faxon, Rash, and Wiig are all graduates of the Los Angeles improv troupe The Groundlings, so the comedic rapport should come naturally. But I am curious to hear more about this “action” element.
We are surely in the midst of a Faxon/Rash breakout. The duo will shoot their directorial debut The Way, Way Back this summer with Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney. Rash will continue appearing on Community once it returns on March 15, and as long as it can cling to the airwaves. Additionally, The Live Feed reports Faxon has just signed on to the Fox pilot Ned Fox Is My Manny. He plays a brother who moves in with his sister (Abby Elliot), a single mother, to help her raise her baby.

two of the luckiest person in Hollywood. Alexander Payne did the work, but because of writer’s guild stupid rule, they’re oscar winners now.
i’m not ignoring the hard work that they did when they wrote the first few drafts, but Payne wrote the script that won the oscar(without ever reading these two guy’s version)
Compared to the preceding technology, H.264 allows users to transmit video clips using up to 80% less bandwidth. That means the same pipe that once carried a single feed can now transmit five. H.264 video encoding also dramatically reduces storage requirements, permitting users to store and retain more images.
