Tim Allen On His Directing Debut

Filed under: Film Flickers > Tom Hanks > Kelsey Grammer

Actor Tim Allen's latest project is not only a starring vehicle for the funnyman, but also his directorial debut! He says of the film Crazy on the Outside:

"I've got a lot on the line here. I financed this thing — private financing. I used Kevin Costner's model. He helped me through this — on how to direct it, how to put it out…I really worked hard to make it special."

Allen asked his friends to be a part of the movie and Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, Julie Bowen and Kelsey Grammer all star in the film alongside Tim who has the lead role as a man newly released from prison adjusting to life outside of jail.

Earlier this month, Allen was promoting Crazy on the Outside, performing stand-up comedy before special screenings in 10 cities across the country.

As for Crazy on the Outside he says:

"Two years of my life I put together a movie. Please sit back and enjoy it. If you love it, tell everybody. If you don't like it, tell everybody that it's the new Tom Hanks movie."

No offense, Tim, but we're WAY more excited for Toy Story 3!

When ever you have to put up your own money in a year that Hollywood made $10 Billion. You know it's gonna suck. Straight to DVD & he might make his money back.

If you're going to make your living posting stories about these people, you should at least learn to spell their names correctly.

Re: SWEETPIECE! – It is so much fun. Hope all is well. Thanks for all you do to argue for equal rights for gays, especially since I sense you are straight.
Have a Happy New Year.

Sweet guy, maybe — but it looks like he screwed over some of the actors out of money. Check it out on YouTube under TimAllenScandal
