After a lifetime of comedic supporting roles and cameos, Patton Oswalt’s dramatic turn as the lead in Robert Siegel’s “Big Fan” earned him rave reviews and has seemingly opened doors for him all round as an actor.
Oswalt recently revealed in a GQ interview that, among a host of projects, he has two potential films lined up, one of which he co-scribed.
“[I’ve got] a book, a play and two movies—one I’m co-writing which I will act in, another I didn’t write which I’ve been offered the lead in. But we’ll see about those last two.”
Unfortunately, no further information was provided regarding the film but his theater foray was previously revealed to be Terrence McNally’s “Lips Together, Teeth Apart.” Oswalt was also recently nominated for a Grammy for his comedy album “My Weakness Is Strong.”
