Nature Calls to Call Magnet Releasing Home

Magnet Releasing has picked up the North American distribution rights to the comedy movie Nature Calls from writer/director Todd Rohal (The Catechism Cataclysm). The comedy stars Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Riggle, Patrice O’Neal, Maura Tierney, and Darrell Hammond and was executive produced by David Gordon Green, David Bausch, Michael Clark and John Hodges.
 
Magnet’s planning a VOD release on October 4, 2012 followed by a theatrical release on November 9th.
 
Commenting on the acquisition, Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles said, “Nature Calls holds its own with the best low-brow comedy classics. Well directed with a truly funny cast, this is going to be a late night favorite for years to come.”
 
Director Rohal added, “I’m thrilled to have our film welcomed into the collection of Magnolia films. They’re a company that continues to release films that shock and amaze me. It’s great to be a part of their world.”
 
The Plot:
 
Oswalt stars as Scoutmaster Randy Stevens, whose dwindling, apathetic troop ditches a scout meeting in favor of a TV-themed slumber party hosted by Randy’s brother Kirk (Knoxville), his polar opposite and arch nemesis. When Randy rounds up the boys in the middle of the night, stealing them for an highly unauthorized/unorganized trip to the woods, all hell breaks loose as Kirk pursues with a pair of gun-toting employees (Riggle and O’Neal). Drinking, nudity, mishandled fireworks and tremendously inappropriate behavior around minors ensues, in the grand tradition of comedy classics like The Bad News Bears and Meatballs.
