 Unfortunately, Malco's upcoming work doesn't include the fourth season of Weeds. "Look, let's just be real: there's no possible way that I could have done this movie and Weeds at the same time," he says. "They've been so patient, every single year. The first season of Weeds I did 40-Year-Old Virgin, the second season I did Blades of Glory, the third season I did Baby Mama. They were really bending over backwards to make my schedule work as it was, and it's like, this just took the cake." Malco will, however, be back to work with his 40-Year-Old Virgin director Judd Apatow, who exploded after Virgin and his follow-up, Knocked Up. The two have pitched and sold a couple different projects to major studios. The first one up is called Military Recruiter. "It's about a really underhanded military recruiter who will go to any extreme to sign people," Malco says. "This man signs prostitutes, homeless people, junkies all up. He finds ways for you to pass the drug test even though you're a drug addict. That kind of thing. It's basically the process through which a lot of these guys have gone to recruit kids and send them to Iraq." The other project requires a bit more explanation. Read it yourself to believe it: "It's called Being Ron Malkovich," Malco begins. "It's a true story. In 1997, I started this penis enhancement company, with products for premature ejaculation and impotence and infertility, selling this stuff over the internet. But then all these radio stations started calling me, wanting to talk to 'the representative of this company.' And if they knew it was me, they could do research and find out I was once a rapper, and that just takes away all the credibility of the company. So I just started pretending to be a doctor. He affects a deep, serious voice. "'In my fourteen years of practice, I've found that...' And they were like, 'What's your name?' And I was like, 'Dr. Ron...Malco...vich.' Because the "vich" would add that Jewish credibility. And this was a true story! There's tapes of it and everything. And Judd was like, 'You've got to be kidding me. We have got to make this into a movie.' And so it went." His friendship with Apatow, and his casting in Virgin, happened in a roundabout way. "I did an experimental movie with Paul Rudd back in the day called The Chateau," he says. "$150,000, in France, we played brothers who inherit a chateau in the south of France. That movie, it didn't really do anything, it didn't go to theaters, but it changed both of our lives. Judd saw the movie and called me and said, 'Can you improv?'...So I auditioned with Judd Apatow for five hours. ... |
