Anchor Bay Picks Up "Rogue's Gallery" aka "Operation: Endgame"

 It’s no secret that after The Hangover, Zach Galifianakis has been in high demand in Hollywood, and his schedule has quickly been filling up with all kinds of new projects including Todd Phillips’ Due Date, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s It’s Kind of a Funny Story, and the upcoming Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots. His every move is being watched and people are anxious to see what he does next, which is why this recent headline caught me off guard. According to ScreenDaily, Anchor Bay just paid a low seven figure sum for the theatrical, TV and DVD rights to a new “assassin thriller” called Operation: Endgame. The movie just happens to star Galifianakis, so why have we heard nothing about it up until now?

Some further research reveals that the movie was shot last year and previously went under the name Rogues Gallery. It is described as an action-comedy about a battle that breaks out among multiple government spy teams after their boss is assassinated. Richard Kelly’s Darko Entertainment produced it, and commercial director Fouad Mikati helmed it. With a cast that also includes Rob Corddry, Maggie Q, Bob Odenkirk, Jeffrey Tambor, Ving Rhames, Emilie de Ravin, Adam Scott and Ellen Barkin, it sounds like Anchor Bay might have a great little film in their hands here. I look forward to seeing a trailer or hearing more about it in the near future.
