Word broke in May that Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari, who are currently shooting the comedy, "30 Minutes or Less" in Michigan, would be teaming up again for an untitled comedy flick that Ansari and Matt Hubbard, a writer on "30 Rock," conceived. No plot details or even a title have leaked yet.

But when MTV News caught up with McBride on the set of "30 Minutes" recently, we asked him to shed a little light on the project, which is being produced under his Rough House production shingle with Jody Hill and David Gordon Green. Mandate Pictures acquired the pitch, which is being scripted Harris Wittels (a "Parks and Recreation" writer).

The title is "Olympic-Size A--hole," though of course it remains to be seen if that has any chance of being a keeper. For now, however, that's what it's called.

"Let's go for it!" Bride said with a laugh during some down time on the "30 Minutes" set. "'Olympic-Size A--hole.' It's good."

Before heading back to work, the actor also kicked us a little plot description about the upcoming comedy. "'Olympic-Size A--hole' is a film they set up through a company that I work with called Rough House," McBride explained. "It's about this Olympic athlete who comes back to his hometown and he bangs mine and Aziz's girlfriends. So we go on this mission to destroy his Olympic life."

"Monsters" divided the opinions of the MTV staffers who saw it, but all agreed that it's something very different. Personally, I enjoyed it. It's an unusual little film, similar to "Cloverfield" in the way it serves up an unusual twist on a traditional genre tale. It's also a road movie marked by an offbeat romance. What's odd is that this trailer doesn't really sell it that way. I get much more of a monster movie vibe here; while there are certainly elements of that at work, it is not the focus. You'll be able to decide for yourself soon; "Monsters" arrives in theaters on October 29 and hits VOD a month earlier, on September 24.

FINALLY! Joe Dante's horror film "The Hole" has been in the can for awhile now. It played last year at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the fest's very first 3-D award. For whatever reason, it hasn't yet surfaced in the states. I don't get it. Dante, who gave the world both "Gremlins" movies (among other things), is certainly a bankable name. "The Hole" is lacking in tentpole stars, sure, but it makes up for that with abundant creepiness. Just check out this clip, the first one that I've seen from the movie. Now seriously-- how about a U.S. release, people?!
