So the new movie Maura will be in starring Johnny Knoxville is called "Scoutmasters." I figured I would make a separate thread here for any articles/news.
Today, they are filming in New York:
"Scoutmasters (aka UTR), starring Patton Oswalt and Johnny Knoxville, is filming at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in Sleepy Hollow."
Basically, this is a film heading to the Sundance Film Festival, meaning Maura would probably be making an appearance there: "Todd Rohal's Sundance workshopped screenplay has received the greenlight. According to Deadline, production on the to be retitled Scoutmasters commences this week with Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt toplining the dark comedy with a supporting cast rounded out by Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street), Maura Tierney (television's ER) and Patrice O'Neal with the hope that the production squeezes in a part for Robert Longstreet. Ramin Bahrani/David Gordon Green producer Lisa Muskat was on board from the get-go, and now Big Beach's Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf's are also picking up the tab. Green is exec producer. If all goes well, I smell a possible Sundance showing in 2012."

Thanks so much for those photos! She looks great and I am loving that hair style. By the way, I don't know if anyone will agree with me, but in the photos, Maura looks a little bit like Marcia Gay Harden (who she co-starred with in "Welcome to Mooseport"). It's a little funny, I see a slight resemblance.

I see the wedding ring - I wonder who her character is married to? Johnny Knoxville's? I think so. Nature Calls Synopsis Determined to honor his father’s scouting legacy and mount one last comeback for his dwindling troop, Assistant Scoutmaster Randy Stevens (Patton Oswalt) pays a visit to his business-minded brother Kirk (Johnny Knoxville), who is throwing a television-themed slumber party for his newly adopted 10-year-old son at his McMansion. Randy pressures the boys to secretly ditch the party and join him on a weekend scout trip. Pursued by Kirk and his security guard (Rob Riggle), the adventure lands the boys in trouble at every turn, pits them against angry parents and park rangers, yet ultimately turns the group of sheltered kids into a troop to be reckoned with. Credits Director(s): Todd Rohal Executive Producer(s): David Gordon Green, Michael B. Clark, John Hodges, David Bausch Producer(s): Lisa Muskat Screenwriter(s): Todd Rohal Cinematographer: Steve Gainer Editor(s): Alan Canant, Nat Sanders Production Designer: Matthew Munn Sound Designer: Richard Murphy Principal Cast: Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney, Patrice O'Neal, Darrell Hammond schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_FS12654

Thanks, Sissa!
So if she turns out to be Johnny's wife, she might just be in the beginning of the movie and at the end.
And can I just say that I really wish they had chosen a different title? Whenever I hear it, all I think of is Jim Carrey's movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, LOL.

www.bigshinyrobot.com/reviews/archives/38104Nature CallsPatton Oswalt is an assistant scoutmaster whose father was the greatest scoutmaster of all. His brother Johnny Knoxville is a douche who hates scouts, the outdoors, etc. So what happens when the boys cancel a campout to go to a sleepover at Knoxville’s McMansion, only to be Shanghai’d while there to go out to a restricted area of a state park for the greatest campout ever? Hijinks ensue. And so Rob Riggle, the head of corporate security, and Patrice O’Neal, father of one of the scouts who is seeking revenge, go along to try to find the lost boys. . .and run into a skeevy park ranger played by Darryl Hammond. Oh, and there’s a naked chick on a motorcycle. The film was written and directed by Todd Rohal, who did last year’s Catechism Cataclysm. Like that, this movie is drenched in religious (ok, blasphemous) imagery and overtones. . .and also quite funny. But it’s a different kind of funny than you’d expect– this is much more character-driven humor. While there is a lot of humorous banter, it’s funny in the “Oh my #@$% I can’t believe they actually just said that,” vein. This film was dedicated to Patrice O’Neal, and it was his final film. He gives possibly the best performance in the movie, and the crowd I saw it with at The Paramount cheered for him specifically when his name came up in the credits, and applauded his work during the Q&A afterwards. A fitting tribute to man whose talent is sorely missed. There are things that are shocking in this movie. But they’re also hilarious. Johnny Knoxville does something in this movie that he told Rahall that, even given all the stuff he’s done, this was the only time he was worried what his parents might think. *****MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT**** Mouse over for inviso-text: And the scene where the scoutmaster father dies is one of the most awful and hilarious things ever, and it made me feel guilty for laughing at it. Also, Maura Tierney puts in an awesome performance as Knoxville’s long-suffering wife. Emphasis on suffering. She’s also constantly followed by one of the creepier scouts who is just as in love with her as I was when she was on Newsradio. Creepy, and hilarious.This film was fun. I’m not sure it will connect with mainstream audiences, as it might be too quirky for them. More mainstream than a Wes Anderson movie, but less broad than a Will Ferrell flick. . . somewhere in that quirky, uncomfortable middle you will find Nature Calls

SXSW ReviewsPosted: Sun., Mar. 11, 2012, 2:29pm PT SXSW Nature Calls By Joe Leydon A Troop 21 production in association with Muskat Filmed Properties. Produced by Lisa Muskat. Executive producers, David Gordon Green, Michael B. Clark, John Hodges, David Bausch. Directed, written by Todd Rohal. Randy - Patton Oswalt Kirk - Johnny Knoxville Gentry - Rob Riggle Janine - Maura Tierney Mr. Caldwell - Patrice O'Neal Dwande - Thiecoura Cissoko Ranger Deakins - Darrell Hammond Little Eddie - Eddie Rouse Ivan - Ivan Dimitrov Stuart - John Tobias Imagine a remake of "Meatballs" or "The Bad News Bears" with the raunch quotient dialed up a few spins and you're ready for "Nature Calls," a brazenly foul-mouthed but ultimately soft-hearted comedy of bad manners that could forage for respectable theatrical biz before enjoying heavy rotation as VOD, vid-rental and pay-cable staple. Some may complain about the pic's frequent tactic of trolling for laughs by unleashing F-bombs and similar vulgarity around young children. But then, it's doubtful that too many of the easily offended will wander unawares into this untamed territory in the first place. Patton Oswald amusingly conveys both cheery optimism and anxious obsessiveness as Randy, an assistant scoutmaster determined to maintain the troop once run by his ailing dad (John Tobias). Trouble is, the few boys in his group are tired of boring campouts in parking lots and opt to ditch the latest weekend outing in favor of a sleepover that Randy's estranged brother, Kirk (Johnny Knoxville), is hosting for his newly adopted African-born son, Dwande (Thiecoura Cissoko). Kirk, who strayed from scouting years ago, made his fortune selling ATM machines, and now lives with his astonishingly patient wife (Maura Tierney) and Dwande in a spacious McMansion stocked with multiple bigscreen TVs and other playthings irresistible to adolescent males of all ages. But Randy improbably manages to lure Dwande and his sleepover guests out of the funhouse for an unauthorized camping trip deep in the woods. Kirk follows in hot pursuit, accompanied by Gentry (Rob Riggle), his gung-ho security chief, and Caldwell (Patrice O'Neal), a scout's dad with his own reasons to be angry with Randy. Oswald's relative restraint (emphasis on "relative") allows him to serve more or less as the anchoring straight man among the grown-up guys in the cast. His adult male co-stars -- including Knoxville, Riggle, Darrell Hammond as an officious park ranger, and Eddie Rouse and Ivan Dimitrov as Randy's none-too-bright assistants -- come off as cartoonish caricatures, often to hilarious effect. O'Neal, who died shortly after completing "Nature Calls," and to whom the pic is dedicated, here gives a performance suffused with profanely funny bluster. Tierney makes the most of an underwritten role, especially when her character deals with the amorous overtures of an underage house guest. The boys, of course, benefit greatly from their weekend adventures, even though their experiences include witnessing at least one potentially traumatic incident and having a close encounter with a nude female motorcyclist who apparently vroomed in from 1971's "Vanishing Point." Things turn out pretty well for the grownups, too, although it's clear from the multiple happy endings that writer-director Todd Rohal ("The Catechism Cataclysm") doesn't have his tongue very far from his cheek. Some abrupt transitions and a couple of barely developed subplots indicate last-minute editing-room surgery. Overall, though, tech credits are solid. Camera (Deluxe color) Steve Gainer; editors, Alan Canant, Nat Sanders; music, Joseph Stephens; production designer, Matthew Munn; set decorator, Theo Sena; costume designer, Jacki Roach; sound, Richard W. Murphy; supervising sound editor, Ron Bochar; assistant director, Scott Lazar; casting, Avy Kaufman. Reviewed at SXSW Film Festival (Narrative Spotlight), March 10, 2012. Running time: 80 MIN.
