'Green Book' Director Peter Farrelly's Next Movie Is Based On 'The Greatest Beer Run Ever'
"Green Book" director Peter Farrelly has lined up his next movie, which may or may not involve pizza-folding.
He will write and direct an as-yet-untitled film called "The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A True Story of Friendship Stronger Than War."
Since Farrelly is still best known for comedies like "Dumb & Dumber " and "There's Something About Mary," we imagine a movie without the word "Beer" in the title might better convey the essence of the story: It's about John "Chickie" Donohue, who, in 1967, decided to track down and share a few beers with his childhood buddies in the Army … while they were fighting in Vietnam.
Brian Currie and Pete Jones ("Hall Pass") will co-write the script with Farrelly.
"Green Book," which was Farrelly's first feature film that he didn't co-direct with brother Bobby, was nominated for five Academy Awards. It netted Farrelly two Oscars (for best picture and screenplay) and a second win for supporting actor Mahershala Ali.
