Now that the plot's been revealed, there's even more reason to celebrate. Guest will skewer the world of award shows with "For Your Consideration," his upcoming film which reunites Guest movie regulars Jane Lynch, Parker Posey, Catherine O'Hara, Harry Shearer, Bob Balaban, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean, and Fred Willard. Eugene Levy will also star in the film and co-wrote the script. Ricky Gervais will make his first appearance in a Christopher Guest film.
According to Variety, "For Your Consideration" is a departure from Guest's previous mockumentaries - "Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman," and "A Mighty Wind." "For Your Consideration" involves the filming of a very bad indie film called "Home for Purim" and how award buzz starts circulating and affects the cast of the film.
Guest told Daily Variety that "Home for Purim" is an "extraordinarily poorly written movie. It's a melodrama, and it's just awful. These actors never would have imagined that this movie was going to change their lives."
