Danny McBride: Doesn’t partake in “wizard weed” when writing script
In a Screen Junkies feature on the upcoming movie Your Highness, Danny McBride who not only stars in the movie, but also co-wrote the screenplay (with Ben Best), offers his opinion on writing while under — or not — the influence of pot:
Danny McBride writes movies and TV shows about dudes who partake in the reefer and otherwise excessive vices like drink and fornication. Your Highness is his take on a medieval character who smokes up and swears like Kenny Powers. McBride wants to make it very clear though that he’s not high while he’s writing the script.
“You know, I don’t tend to partake in much wizard weed when I work on scripts,” McBride said. “It’s such a hard process and if you want to do it good, it seems like if you do partake in a lot of that, people don’t tend to really want to watch the things that you come up with when you’ve done that.”
