Tim Heidecker and Greg Turkington to Star in New Film Mister America

An expansion of their “On Cinema” universe is due for theatrical release this fall

Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington will star in Mister America, a new movie that extends the universe of their Adult Swim comedy series “On Cinema at the Cinema,” as Variety reports. The film, which was recently acquired by Magnolia Pictures, involves Heidecker’s “On Cinema” character running for public office. According to Variety, “His effort to win voters tries to overcome a lack of experience and funding by leaning into the candidate’s personal likability. It does not go well.”
