SYNOPSIS

Larry the Cable Guy returns for another comic misadventure as a small town sheriff who

unwittingly gets involved in a high profile FBI case in Lionsgate®’s new comedy, WITLESS

PROTECTION. During a routine day spent patrolling his small town, Larry witnesses a

beautiful, high-class woman, Madeleine, being held against her will by four mysterious,

black-suited men. Recognizing the opportunity to save the day, Larry “kidnaps” her, only to

learn that Madeleine is actually a key witness in a high-stakes Chicago crime case and her

captors are FBI agents assigned to protect her. Madeleine is furious. But Larry, who rightly

suspects the agents are crooked and Madeleine is in danger, forces her on a harebrained trip

to Chicago to solve the case himself. Together, the hilariously mismatched duo must grapple

with angry FBI agents, quack doctors and Chicago high society in his funniest, most

unpredictable adventure yet.

WITLESS PROTECTION is directed by Charles Robert Carner; Screenplay by Charles

Robert Carner; Story by Alan Blomquist & Charles Robert Carner; and stars Larry the Cable

Guy, Ivana Milicevic, Yaphet Kotto, Peter Stormare, Eric Roberts, Joe Mantegna and Jenny

McCarthy.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Following years of stand-up, multiple television specials and two successful feature

films, Larry the Cable continues his hilarious blundering in Lionsgate®’s WITLESS

PROTECTION, this time becoming embroiled with the FBI and a high-profile Chicago

criminal case. But while the adventure is all new, fans can take comfort in knowing that Larry

is still the same crude-but-charming blue collar guy prone to comic disasters. “I’m basically

doin’ an extension of me, mixed in with everybody I’ve ever grown up with in my life,” says

Larry of his on-screen persona. “I grew up in a town of twelve hundred and it was just wheat

and corn and cows. And pigs. I hung out at the cattle barn ever since I was a little kid. My

influences were always all these old farmers that told these stories. I just kinda mixed it all

together and I got this.”

After the success of the Lionsgate® features LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH

INSPECTOR and DELTA FARCE, Larry and producers JP Williams and Alan Blomquist

were eager to start work on a follow-up project. While Blomquist hadn’t quite landed on a

story, he was inspired by a title. “We were trying to come up with different fish-out-of-water

scenarios,” he recalls, “and I came up with the title WITLESS PROTECTION, which I

thought was funny. Then I thought, ‘Okay, what do we do with it?’”

Blomquist turned to Charles Carner, the seasoned writer/director of several television

films (RED WATER, CHRISTMAS RUSH and LOUIS L’AMOUR’S ‘CROSSFIRE

TRAIL’), who liked the idea and ran with it. “I started developing this storyline of Larry as a

small town Deputy Sheriff who sees what he thinks is a kidnapping, but actually it’s someone

in witness protection,” explains Carner. “In his attempt to do good, Larry creates havoc,

which is what he always does.”

Carner cites the classic Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert film, IT HAPPENED ONE

NIGHT, and the Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin buddy comedy, MIDNIGHT RUN, as

the chief inspirations for WITLESS PROTECTION. “That was sort of our starting point in

terms of the idea of a road picture that blends adventure, romance, and humor,” he explains.

While the filmmakers were mindful to meet the expectations of fans, Blomquist saw

WITLESS PROTECTION as an opportunity to broaden Larry’s on-screen persona. “We

wanted to make Larry bigger than the one-note, ‘Here’s Larry, he makes a fart joke, he

leaves’ kind of character,” he says. “That’s the biggest difference with this script from some

of the earlier projects we’ve done. We really wanted to place him in situations where other

parts of his personality could come forward.”

Larry notes that his character struggles with bigger issues in WITLESS

PROTECTION. While previously he was satisfied with small town life, Larry now has an

ambition: to graduate from deputy sheriff to bona fide FBI agent and leave his backwater

town. “Anybody that’s grown up in a small town can’t wait to get the hell out of there,”

explains Larry. “Then when they get married and have kids, they can’t wait to get their ass

back to a small town, ‘cause they like how they grew up. That’s the same with me in real

life. When I was growin’ up, I couldn’t wait to get the hell out. And then, once I got the hell

out, I wanted to go back.”

WITLESS PROTECTION also presented Larry with an entirely new challenge as an

actor: his first nude scene. In the film, Larry is strip-searched and put through a disastrous

body cavity search. “I had this robe on and I’m like, ‘Aw, goddamn, I gotta get naked in

fronta these sumbitches. And I’m dreadin’ it. I had to disrobe and stand there with a ball cap

over my privates. It was pretty crazy. I ain’t exactly Brad Pitt, y’know? My hind end needs

some work. I mean, it’s nice, but, y’know, it looks like a hailstorm came through.”

The way Larry looks at it, the upside of WITLESS PROTECTION was the

opportunity to kiss actress Jenny McCarthy (SCARY MOVIE 3, BAD GIRL’S GUIDE)

onscreen. “I mean, c’mon. You get a script that says you get to kiss Jenny McCarthy. I’m

in,” he says. “I’m a huge fan of hers and I like her, not only ‘cause she’s gorgeous, but she’s a

regular person and she laughs at stuff that regular people laugh at. I like workin’ with down-

to-earth people.”

McCarthy plays Connie, Larry’s no nonsense girlfriend who he leaves behind in order

to solve the Chicago crime case. “Jenny McCarthy really is Connie,” avows Blomquist.

“She’s an incredibly spunky, alive person. She’s from Chicago. She understands the small-

town girl thing, but she’s absolutely gorgeous and she’s willing to play with that and have fun

with it.”

“She brings all the different dimensions of that character together really believably,”

adds Carner. “And she worked really well with Larry.”

McCarthy admits she was pleasantly surprised that Larry in real life was “a pure

gentleman.” She says, “I was so happy that he’s as sweet and adorable and funny as I was

hoping. He wasn’t this rude guy that just burped in my face the whole time.”

Bosnian/American actress Ivana Milicevic (CASINO ROYALE) plays the other

woman in Larry’s life: Madeline Dymkowski, the snooty heiress who initially bristles at

Larry’s crudeness. “The first part where I meet Larry, I’m very cold and a little snobby

towards him. I act as though he’s beneath me,” she says. “My favorite part is when we start to

become friendlier and the movie becomes a buddy picture with two very unlikely buddies.”

“Ivana is very gifted as a comedian,” reports Carner. “She’s great at physical comedy

and she’s a great foil for Larry. She’s somebody special. And this movie, if people like it,

should make her a star, because she deserves to be. She’s wonderful.”

When asked why she thought she and Larry got along so well on set, Milicevic smiles

and explains, “We both think farts are funny and they are. They’re funny in every language.

All over the world. We always had that going for us.”

In addition to McCarthy and Milicevic, the strength of WITLESS PROTECTION’s

script attracted a host of talented character actors, among them Joe Mantegna (HOMICIDE,

BUGSY, NINE LIVES), Eric Roberts (TV’s “Heroes,” 8 OF DIAMONDS, DOA: DEAD OR

ALIVE), Peter Stormare (PREMONITION, NACHO LIBRE, CONSTANTINE) and Yaphet

Kotto (ALIEN, RUNNING MAN, MIDNIGHT RUN).

Mantegna’s path to the project was unique: director Charles Carner was his former

student in a film class Mantegna taught twenty-five years ago at Columbia College in

Chicago. When Carner called his mentor and offered him a part in the film, Mantegna jumped

at the opportunity. “Charlie Carner was my prize pupil when I taught here in Chicago in the

seventies,” recalls Mantegna. “I just thought what a thrill to be in a film that my former

student had written and was going to direct.” Mantegna took on the part of Doc Savage,

Larry’s eccentric brother-in-law who has a freewheeling way with prescription drugs. “Doc

Savage is kind of a throwback to the sixties,” say Mantegna. “He might of done a little too

many pharmaceuticals in his youth and he’s paying the price now.”

In one pivotal comic set piece, Doc Savage drugs Madeline so that she appears to be

dead. But Milicevic, who had to lie absolutely still in a coffin while Mantegna and Larry

performed their scene, couldn’t keep a straight face. “To have that hilarity above me while

I’m trying to be dead and stoic, it was like I should win an Oscar for that, because it was

impossible,” laughs the actress. “I don’t even know that we got a full take.”

Swedish actor Peter Stormare plays Arthur Grimsley, the wealthy tycoon who is

trying to silence Madeline before her testimony convicts him for tax fraud. Widely respected

for his incredible range as a character actor, Stormare was impressed by the loose,

spontaneous atmosphere that Larry encouraged on set. “Larry’s a very fast improviser. And I

love to improvise,” says the actor. “There’s a lot of joking around both between takes and

during takes. There’s nothing better as an actor than coming home laughing and going to

sleep wanting to work hard the next day.”

Eric Roberts describes his character, Duvall, as an “enormous a-hole who runs a

company called Private Maximum Security. Or PMS.” Roberts, who is good friends with co-

stars Yaphet Kotto and Peter Stormare, was eager to try his hand at a comedy, a genre for

which he’s not often considered. “I play lots of crazy, mean, psychotic people and they’re

almost always in dramas and they’re almost always very, very serious,” he explains. “So it’s a

lot of fun for me to play somebody who is sick and psychotic, but he’s funny, sick and

psychotic.”

“Eric is so imposing and dangerous in terms of his persona,” adds Carner, “but he also

has a lot of charm and sophistication that he doesn’t get to play very often. I enjoyed

bringing both of those sides together.”

As Agent Moseley, the stoic FBI agent pursuing Larry, actor Yaphet Kotto provides a

perfect foil to Larry’s blundering antics. “Moseley’s a bloodhound, really,” says Kotto.

“Nothing will stop him. He has his intent, his purpose and he doesn’t allow himself to eat or

sleep or drink. He’s just concentrating on one thing – to get Larry.”

“Agent Moseley is a big, intimidating force who doesn’t crack, who doesn’t smile,”

explains Blomquist. “Yaphet knows this character cold. Larry will say the most inane things

to him and he just does the best slow burn.”

Kotto found the challenge of keeping a straight face on set one of the most difficult of

his long career. “I’m telling you, this is the hardest thing I’ve done, working with Larry,

7

because he’s so funny,” admits the actor. “The crew’s constantly laughing. And you can see

the production people, the executives, they’re all laughing at Larry’s jokes. So your level of

concentration has to be really good.”

Blomquist and Larry admit that they work hard to encourage a loose and spontaneous

atmosphere on set. “That’s the first rule when we do our movies,” says Larry. “We want to

make it comfortable for everybody. We want everybody to have fun. We’re not changin’ the

world. We’re makin’ people laugh. And so the staff that we get is real nice and real fun and

we want to make it so everybody has a great time.”

“Larry, JP and I work at creating an environment that’s comfortable for people so

they’ll do their best work,” adds Blomquist. “We have lots of actors who show up and are just

surprised at how easy everything is and how calm everyone is. We work at that. I always tell

people we’re carnies, you know? I love putting together this family, this petri dish of

personalities and watching it grow into something much more than the sum of the parts.”

The approach, according to the cast, works. Says Mantegna, “It’s just a fun and

eclectic group. I mean, we all come from different kinds of disciplines and backgrounds and

it’s like makin’ a fruitcake with all these crazy ingredients.”

“I hope I run into another crew, another production company, certainly another script

as insane and funny as this one,” adds Kotto. “I know I won’t experience this again. It’s a

once in a lifetime experience.”

Of course, every production needs a steady hand to keep performances and schedules

from veering into chaos, and that person was director Charles Carner. “Charlie’s a very, very

thorough, very organized director,” says Blomquist. “Things always go smoothly and quickly

with him at the wheel, and there’s a little bit of extra time every day to do some fun stuff and

improv.”

“We get along great,” reports Larry on working with Carner. “Charlie is like an older

brother to me. He’s really fun. But if you’re screwin’ up, he knows how to talk to ya. I

would love to do all my movies with him. He gets what I do.”

Even with WITLESS PROTECTION primed for its theatrical release, Larry seems

characteristically non-plussed and maintains his easy-going attitude towards his work.

Entertaining audiences, he says, is the only thing that matters. “I’m good at bein’ this and so I

enjoy doin’ it. I’m not – I don’t ever take myself seriously, y’know? If you’re goin’ to my

8

movie and expectin’ to get some big political point or expectin’ to be changed and touched in

a way, then don’t go to my movie,” he says with a smile. “If you’re goin’ to a movie and you

just wanna sit down and laugh at some foolishness, go see it. We’re entertainers and I’m

puttin’ out movies to make people laugh. That’s who I am and that’s what I do.”

In the past year, JENNY MCCARTHY (Connie) has become one of the most respected public figures in America. Her honesty, humility, and humor have enabled her to transcend the boundaries of her roles as comedian, actress, writer, and host. Now, she is welcomed into the homes of America, a country yearning for compassion and truth, as an activist interviewing with Oprah, Larry King, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, People Magazine, Ellen DeGeneres, and CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield on the topic of autism. Her unique ability to articulate the unspoken words of thousands of mothers and fathers across the world was recognized immediately, and she is now fielding hundreds of requests per week for interviews, speaking engagements, and public appearances nationwide.

Dutton Publishing wisely closed a deal with this highly-regarded NY Times Best Selling author, and Jenny’s much-anticipated sixth book will be released in September, 2008. Her previous books, which include the bestsellers Louder Than Words, Life Laughs, Baby Laughs, and Belly Laughs, showcase her candid, witty, and fun-loving personality. Like Jenny’s earlier books, Louder than Words also appeared on Bestseller Lists in USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal.

Perhaps it is these innate qualities that contribute to her undeniable accessibility factor, which has drawn endorsement and sponsorship deals throughout the ad community. In 2006, Jenny began working with Weight Watchers, encouraging healthy living and nutrition among moms trying to lose weight post pregnancy. Her refreshingly honest approach generated mass public appeal and, hence, a role as Weight Watcher’s national spokesperson for their 2007 ad campaign, “Be an After. Stay an After.”

In addition to appearing in a multitude of campaigns, including the memorable Candie’s shoes, Jenny has graced the covers of magazines across the world, including Newsweek, Rolling Stone, People and Playboy. The diversity in her resume not only boasts a fierce combination of intelligence and sex appeal but praises her comedic talent as well. Playing recurring guest roles on major network television shows, such as “Two and a Half Men,” “Just Shoot Me,” and “The Drew Carey Show,” Jenny has established herself as a sought-after comedic actress.

Throughout her career, as a model, actress, author, and activist, Jenny holds the unique ability to engage an audience of every age and gender. Jenny McCarthy has, in fact, become a household name, which is now, more than ever, held in the highest of regard.

Jenny McCarthy currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with her boyfriend, Jim Carrey, and son, Evan. She remains dedicated to her mission of fighting autism and was recently named the international spokesperson for the Talk About Curing Autism Now organization (TACAnow.org). She will continue to encourage parents and children alike, to question the norms of society, search for their own answers, and understand that throughout it all, it is laughter that truly heals the soul.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

CHARLES ROBERT CARNER (Director/Screenplay) grew up on the South Side of Chicago. He worked for the Bureau of Sanitation, and a meat company – that’s two different jobs – before breaking into the movie business… as a deckhand on Oscar®-winner Tony Bill’s fabulous 65-foot sailboat, the Olinka.

When it became obvious that he knew nothing about sailing, he was assigned to read scripts. Suffering from the delusion that he could do better, he began writing screenplays of his own. When it became apparent that he wouldn’t go away, some of his films got made.

He wrote the feature films LET’S GET HARRY and BLIND FURY. He wrote CROSSFIRE TRAIL and directed RED WATER, two of the highest-rated cable movies in television history.

He also wrote and directed VANISHING POINT, THE FIXER, WHO KILLED ATLANTA’S CHILDREN and CHRISTMAS RUSH, and directed JUDAS. None of the above were comedies, which is why he was the natural choice to write and direct WITLESS PROTECTION. a somber and profound work that exposes the terrible corruption infecting the highest levels of law enforcement in America.

Mr. Carner has served on the Executive Committees of the United States Catholic Conference, Catholics in Media, Family Theater Productions, and the City of the Angels Film Festival. His nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is pending.

He is a Life Member of the Sierra Club and the National Rifle Association – and yet, he claims not to suffer from schizophrenia.

His lovely wife, actress/writer Debra Sharkey, has yet to discover an untraceable poison, so she continues to put up with him. They have three children, Michael (age 8), Grace (age 5), and Don Vincenzo (5 months).

JP WILLIAMS (Producer) is the founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based Parallel Entertainment, one of the entertainment industry’s most prominent management and production companies dedicated to comedy entertainment.

Williams, who was profiled by The New Yorker, as well as featured in a “60 Minutes” profile in 2006, develops, finances and produces a variety of comedy entertainments for stage, and screen. He is perhaps best known for creating and producing all of the “Blue Collar Comedy” entertainment projects involving his clients-partners Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Bill Engvall, including feature films, comedy CD’s, television specials, DVD premiere films, and television series, including the current hit TBS sitcom “The Bill Engvall Show.”

Born in West Virginia, Williams began his unique career in New York as an agent’s assistant at Spotlite Enterprises, Ltd., a leading talent agency specializing in the representation and booking of comedic talent. He was soon promoted to agent, with clients including soon-to-be comedic giants Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Damon Wayans, Adam Sandler, David Alan Grier, and Jamie Foxx. He was promoted yet again to Vice President of Live Performance a short time later.

16

In 1991 he founded Parallel Entertainment (with $10,000 seed money from his only client, Jeff Foxworthy), a boutique personal management company specializing in comedic performers. Parallel Entertainment has doubled its profits every year since then.

In 2000, Williams and his star clients-- Foxworthy, Engvall, and Larry-- created Blue Collar Comedy Tour, a traveling, arena-sized comedy concert featuring the three comedians, along with comedian Ron White, performing individually and together. The national tour continued for three years and was so successful that Williams subsequently formed Parallel Entertainment Pictures with producer Alan Blomquist to develop, finance and produce Blue Collar-themed filmed entertainments.

The company initially financed and produced BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR: THE MOVIE, a filmed version of the traveling show, which sold more than 4 million DVDs following a limited theatrical release. Subsequently, Parallel produced the sequels BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR RIDES AGAIN, which sold more than 3 million DVD’s, and BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR – ONE FOR THE ROAD, which was one of the highest rated programs ever debuted on Comedy Central.

Parallel then entered into television production with the WB comedy series “Blue Collar TV,” again featuring the three comedians performing their unique brand of heartland humor in sketches and stand-up routines. The series ran for two years. The Company subsequently produced numerous television specials and series, including “Foxworthy’s Big Night Out” for CMT, “The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show” for Comedy Central, as well as others for Comedy Central and HBO starring Larry, Engvall, and clients Lisa Lampanelli and Ralphie May. Currently, Williams executive produces the hit comedy series “The Bill Engvall Show” for TBS. In addition to the series and specials, Williams also produced the one-hour specials “Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation,” for TBS, and “Larry the Cable Guy’s Christmas Spectacular,” for VH1, both airing in late 2007.

Williams has also produced three feature theatrical comedies starring Larry the Cable Guy, including most recently WITLESS PROTECTION, for release by Lionsgate® in February, 2008; DELTA FARCE, starring Larry, Engvall, and D J Qualls; and LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR, both also distributed by Lionsgate®.

Williams has produced 29 comedy albums, five of which have received Grammy nominations. Jack Records, a co-venture between Parallel and Warner Bros. Records, produces comedy albums featuring some of Parallel’s more than two-dozen clients.

Parallel is also partnered in MyBlueCollar.com, a destination humor website on the Or Die Networks., with Foxworthy, Engvall, and Larry, as well as veteran executive Lawrence Lyttle.

In 2004, Williams was awarded the IEBA (International Entertainment Buyers Association) Artist Manager of the Year Award.

Producer ALAN BLOMQUIST along with J.P. Williams produced DELTA FARCE and LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR, which were also released by Lionsgate®. Together they engineered the extremely successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour phenomenon which has resulted in three stand up comedy DVD’s. The most recent installment, BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR – ONE FOR THE ROAD debuted on Comedy Central. BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR RIDES AGAIN has sold more than three million DVDs since its release in December 2004. The first film in the series, BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR: THE MOVIE has sold over four million DVDs. The success of the films spawned “Blue Collar TV” which ran for 2 years on the WB Network.

Blomquist’s other credits include the Johnny Cash biopic, WALK THE LINE for 20th Century Fox, CHOCOLAT for Lasse Hallström which garnered five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.

He also executive produced TAKING LIVES with Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke, BOUNCE for Don Roos, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME with Robin Williams, as well as SPAWN, A LITTLE PRINCESS, BEAUTIFUL GIRLS, OF MICE AND MEN and EVERYBODY’S ALL AMERICAN.  Blomquist produced a remake of the 1971 cult film, VANISHING POINT , with Viggo Mortensen for Fox TV.

Prior to producing, Blomquist served in various key production capacities for both feature films and television movies. He was the first assistant director on IRON EAGLE and the unit production manager on LA BAMBA and UNCLE BUCK. He received an Emmy® Award for producing the ABC “After School Special” The War Between the Classes.
