A bold new dark comedy‑thriller is taking shape with an unexpected ensemble: Tyrese Gibson, Billy Zane, Jake Busey, and Armie Hammer have all signed on to star in Mascotland, a film that blends satire, suspense, and off‑beat humor in a world where masculinity is both the joke and the danger.
Mascotland follows a group of deeply flawed men who find themselves entangled in a bizarre underground retreat designed to “rebuild” their sense of manhood. What begins as a misguided self‑help getaway quickly spirals into chaos, exposing the absurdity, insecurity, and volatility simmering beneath the surface. The film leans into its dark comedic tone while weaving in thriller elements that push the characters — and the audience — into unpredictable territory.
Tyrese Gibson brings his signature intensity and charisma to the project, stepping into a role that allows him to flex both dramatic and comedic muscles. Billy Zane, known for his ability to play charming yet unhinged characters, adds a layer of eccentric unpredictability. Jake Busey, with his knack for off‑kilter humor, fits seamlessly into the film’s satirical edge. Armie Hammer’s casting marks a notable return to the screen, adding another layer of intrigue to the ensemble.
The film’s tone is described as sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically strange — a send‑up of modern masculinity wrapped in a thriller framework. With its eclectic cast and genre‑bending premise, Mascotland is already generating buzz as a project that aims to push boundaries and spark conversation.
Production details, including release plans and additional casting, are expected to be announced soon. For now, the combination of talent and concept positions Mascotland as one of the more daring and unconventional films on the horizon.
