Danny McBride is known for pushing boundaries with his dark humor and unconventional storytelling, but his latest project might just be his most ambitious yet. In a recent interview, McBride opened up about his vision for a Bradley Cooper-led family origin story set during the American Civil War, and it sounds like it's going to be a wild ride.
According to McBride, the idea for the Civil War-set origin story came to him while brainstorming ways to explore the Gemstones' complicated past. 'I wanted to do something that would really get under the audience's skin,' he explained. 'Something that would make them uncomfortable, but also fascinated.'
McBride's vision for the project is to create a unique blend of drama, comedy, and action, all set against the backdrop of one of America's most tumultuous periods in history. 'It's going to be a real game-changer,' he promised. 'We're talking epic battles, intense family drama, and even some supernatural elements thrown in for good measure.'
But what really has fans excited is the news that Bradley Cooper will be leading the cast. Cooper is known for his versatility as an actor, and his involvement in the project has sparked a lot of interest. 'Bradley is an incredible talent,' McBride said. 'He brings a level of depth and nuance to every role he takes on, and I know he's going to blow people away with his performance in this.'
Walton Goggins, who has worked with McBride on several projects in the past, also sang his praises, saying 'Danny is a genius. He's always pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and this project is no exception.' Goggins even went so far as to say that McBride's unique vision is what drew him to the project in the first place. 'I've never seen anything like it,' he said. 'It's going to be a real experience.'
While details about the project are still scarce, one thing is certain: with Danny McBride at the helm and Bradley Cooper leading the cast, this Civil War-set family origin story is going to be one to watch. As McBride himself put it, 'This is going to be a real masterpiece. Get ready.'
