HIGHNESS stars McBride as a pot smoking slacker in medieval times who must get his shit together in time to save the kingdom. Theroux will play a sorcerer who has kidnapped a princess (Deschanel). While Theroux is no stranger to playing the villain (see: CHARLIE’S ANGELS 2), he’s become more notable of late for his screenwriting duties. His work on TROPIC THUNDER earned him the job writing the IRON MAN 2 script, where he spent a considerable amount of time on set working with director Jon Favreau. HIGHNESS is currently filming in Ireland under the direction of David Gordon Green (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS).
