Billy Bob Thornton, Tea Leoni, and Kyle MacLachlan Mess With "Manure"

Billy Bob Thornton, Tea Leoni, and Kyle MacLachlan have all signed on to star in the indie film Manure. Ed Helms of The Office has also accepted a role in the comedy from Mark and Michael Polish.

Manure centers around fecal matter and the men who peddle it. It's the story of three manure salesmen in America's heartland during the '60s. The film is currently shooting in Los Angeles. No release date has been set at this time.

In other Helms news, the former Daily Show correspondent has also landed a role in Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian, which is due out next year. He'll play a coworker of Ben Stiller's character, Larry. Filming on the sequel starts in two weeks in Vancouver.
