Johnny Knoxvillewas almost unrecognizable as the wildly inappropriate Irving Zisman. Keener and Jonze (who co-wrote the screenplay) are equally transformed by their makeup jobs, though indie film fans may still recognize Keener’s distinctive voice. Keener plays Zisman’s first wife Ellie, and Jonze his new companion Gloria.
In a statement, Knoxville gushed about the new film.
So many hilarious scenes and pranks didn’t make it into Bad Grandpa because they didn’t make sense for the story — I’m talking five-star bits that were painful to cut from the movie. You’ll get to see them all in BAD GRANDPA .5 and maybe some stuff we shouldn’t show you. You know how we always joke we have no clue what we’re doing? Well, when you see the ‘window up, window down’ behind-the-scenes footage on BAD GRANDPA .5 you’ll know we aren’t lying. Amazing. Can’t wait till you see that and the whole damn movie.
