The man behind the "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" and "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" music video spoofs has scored yet another big-screen project, this one of his making, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Wayne McClammy, a segment director for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has sold a spec comedy script titled Le Car to MGM, written with his Kimmel cohort, Will Burke.

McClammy, who co-wrote and directed the highly downloaded spoofs, is also slated to direct the movie. The article asks, "Who knew that shtupping Matt Damon and Ben Affleck could be such a career booster?" I think the more appropriate question is "Who knew that Karma would pay you back so positively for subjecting so many people to a shirtless Jimmy Kimmel?"
McClammy isn't leaving his spoofy roots behind with Le Car. It's designed to be revealed as a "found film," according to the article. The film-within-a-film was "made in the 1980s about a group of CIA agents" who try to stop an "evil car" from blowing up the Winter Olympics with an H-bomb. Inquiring minds want to know if the story pitch went anything like "Herbie the Love Bug meets Munich!"
You may remember that in the '70s and '80s the real "Le Car" from Renault wasn't born evil. Small? Yes. Frequently hideously yellow? Apparently, yes. But not outright evil. Perhaps it was pushed to darkness by the relentless taunting by other, larger cars, and the fact that it was so small you could put it in reverse just by sneezing out an open window.
