O'Leary Campbel Rule The World

Matt O'Leary and  Billy Campbell have joined the cast of  actor Matthew Lillard’s directorial debut "Fat Kid Rules the World," according to The Wrap


Based upon the award winning KLGoing novel--The story follow a friendless fat teen Troy Billings (Jacob Wysocki) who is so downhearted he's planning to end it all when he's saved by a chance encounter with Marcus Macrae (O’Leary), a charismatic but unreliable 18-year-old punk rocker who adopts Troy as his newly cool pal and changes Troy's life forever. This despite the protestations of Troy’s dad (Campbell), who is convinced that Marcus is a drug addict and menace.

Michael Galvin and Peter Speakman adapted the script.

Rick Rosenthal and Nick Morton are producing the film with Lillard.

The film is currently shooting in Seattle.
