Red and Meth Get New TV Show

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox has picked up a comedy project starring Method Man and Redman, who have appeared together in such films as "How High" and "Scary Movie 3."

Based on an idea by Method Man, the untitled project will star the duo as themselves as they move into a big house in a predominantly white New Jersey suburb. The good times are rolling for the twosome, who wreak havoc upon the neighborhood until Method Man's mom moves in with them and straightens things up.

"It is a very traditional fish-out-of-water story, but Meth and Red really bring a lot of charm and their particular brand of charisma to it and make it very appealing," said Erin Simon Berenson, Senior VP of comedy development at Regency TV, which is developing the project.

The pilot will be written by Kell Cahoon, whose credits include NBC's "Just Shoot Me" and HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show."

Method Man and Redman will also star in an untitled New Line comedy described as an urban version of "The Producers" and Miramax's remake of the South Korean comedy "Jail Breakers." Method Man next appears in MGM's comedy "Soul Plane" and Miramax's "My Baby's Mama."
