Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators of HBO's classic sketch comedy show Mr. Show, present to you this collection of never-before-seen scripts and ideas that Hollywood couldn't find the gumption to green-light. Simply put. . .



HOLLYWOOD SAID NO!



Since Mr. Show closed up shop, Bob and David have kept busy with many projects - acting in fun, successful, movies and TV shows, directing things, and complaining about stuff that didn't turn out well to anyone who would listen, and even alone, in silence, inside their own heads.



HOLLYWOOD SAID NO! reveals the full-length, never-before-seen scripts for Bob and David Make a Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment of all that you hold dear. This tome also includes a bonus section of orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for performance by church groups that aren't all koo-koo about religion. What you are looking at online, and are about to buy, is chock-full of comic twists, turns, and maybe a few hard truths. We said 'maybe,' but what we mean was 'probably not.'



Now, for the first time, take a peek at the scripts that didn't get the go-ahead and ponder a world we can only dream about. . . and beyond!

Brian Posehn

Brian Posehn was born a long time ago and fell in love with comic books at a very young age. He decided to wait to write them until he was in his forties. Before embarking on a career in comic-book writing, he floated through a series of odd jobs including standup comedy, TV writing, and film and sitcom acting.

Since arriving at Marvel, he feels he's found his true calling, but will continue to do "the other crap" "for fun." Posehn's collaborations with Gerry Duggan include The Last Christmas, a Jaws parody for The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror comics, some screenplays and TV ideas you'll never see, and a baby they're raising together in the basement of a local abandoned sanitarium.
