Since The Hangover, it seems Zach Galifianakis has taken to attaching himself to every comedy Hollywood is making. He’s currently got nine films which he’s either already shot or is planning to soon, which are still yet to be released, and it looks like he’s added a 10th with Miracle Workers.
Shock Til You Drop revealed the news, saying the film is “a buddy supernatural comedy in which the actor [Galifianakis] is put on a path that has him posing as an exorcist with a pal. The two think they’ve got a good thing going until they’re faced with a real menace.” Sounds a bit like Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners, but with exorcisms instead of ghosts.
It seems like the sort of role Galifianakis was made for, where he’s kind of a slacker, but there’s something oddly smart going on under the surface. However, while Zach is currently attached, with so many movies on his plate,something’s gonna have to give, so don’t be surprised if this one falls by the wayside.
