Adam Beechen and Mario Bello’s Hench is being developed as a feature film by Warner Brothers, according to Variety.
They’re reporting that the film, based on the graphic novel from AIT/PlanetLar, will be a vehicle for actor Danny McBride, best known as Red, the guy who kept getting beaten but just wouldn’t stay down in Pineapple Express. McBride will adapt Hench–the story of a professional football player who becomes a henchman to a supervillain after a career-ending injury–along with Shawn Harwell, whom he has worked with on the HBO show Eastbound and Down.

Awesome news. In the last year I’ve become a big fan of Danny McBride, and this sounds really interesting. Eastbound and Down was great (and hopefully will return at some point), so I’m definitely looking forward to this.

The Variety story that I cited has a timetable for the return of the show. I don’t remember what that timetable was, but feel free to click on the link and see!
