Kristen Bell on 'Outrun': It's As being a Sundance Version of 'Smokey as well as the Bandit'

TV stars Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are going to the trunk for the silver screen in 'Outrun,' a completely new indie vehicle chase film they convinced each of their pals to get familiar with. It's a project not not even close to Bell's heart, she mentioned. "I developed a movie with Dax along with a couple of our other pals in the beginning in the summer season -- prior to the Showtime series ['House of Lies'] -- referred to as 'Outrun,' which will emerge in 2012," Bell mentioned to Huffington Publish TV. "I'm really pleased with plus it was the first time I've ever worn a producorial hat." Shepard attracted triple duty for 'Outrun,' acting, writing and co-pointing the flick which stars Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, Love Bridges, Kristin Chenoweth, David Koechner, Michael Rosenbaum, Pleasure Bryant, and Ryan Hansen. According to HitFix, 'Outrun' follows Charlie Bronson (Shepard), an ex-getaway driver who influences Witness Protection Program. He arrives of hiding to operate a vehicle his girlfriend, carried out by real-existence girlfriend Bell, mix-country for just about any job chance. By themselves drive, the duo meet numerous zany figures in route and finished up being chased by both cops (Arnold) and thieves (Cooper). David Palmer co-directed the flick. "[W]e asked for our pals being involved, our actor pals," Bell mentioned. "Everybody made time to make it happen, it absolutely was really awesome -- stars we did not think might be involved or make time for that little movie and so they did. We shot it for pretty much eight days which we'd a great deal fun. It's kind of an indie vehicle chase movie, it's like 'Smokey as well as the Bandit,' Sundance Style." Shepard and Palmer also co-directed this year's spoof film 'Brother's Justice.' Up next for Bell is Showtime's 'House of Lies' and 'Big Miracle' opposite Came Barrymore and John Krasinski.
