Who knew that shtupping Matt Damon and Ben Affleck could be such a career booster?
Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment director Wayne McClammy, who helmed and co-wrote the popular short video spoofs "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" and "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck", has sold a spec titled Le Car to MGM that he co-wrote with Kimmel colleague Will Burke.
McClammy also is attached to direct the comedy, which Temple Hill Entertainment partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are attached to produce.
Le Car is designed to unspool as a "found film" made in the 1980s about a group of CIA agents who try to foil a plot by an evil car aiming to detonate an H-bomb at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.
This is the fourth comedy spec that MGM has picked up since April; Bobism, The Zookeeper and Executive VP David M. Murch's Adventures in the Land of Zametherea also are in the studio's development stable.
Executives Cale Boyter and Becky Sloviter will oversee Le Car for MGM.
McClammy's Kimmel shorts generated tens of millions of views online and rocketed him into the Web comedy pantheon.
