Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (shorthand B$M) is a 2012 American comedy film written and directed by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, creators of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. The film stars Heidecker and Wareheim with a supporting cast which includes Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Ray Wise, Twink Caplan, Robert Loggia, and Will Forte.
The film centers on Heidecker and Wareheim attempting to gain a billion dollars by re-opening a shopping mall to pay their debt to the "Schlaaang Corporation", after failing to create a film with the billion dollars provided to them.
It was released in theaters on March 2, 2012, and was released to iTunes and on-demand January 27, 2013. The film was made without the involvement of Adult Swim and Williams Street Productions who have broadcast and produced several of the duo's projects, though many of the cast and crew members involved had previously collaborated with the duo.
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim are two filmmakers who are given a record-setting $1 billion budget to make a movie. The funds are provided by Tommy Schlaaang and the Schlaaang Corporation. The two waste all of their money on the making of Bonjour, Diamond Jim, a three-minute film (based on a poem by "personal shopper and spiritual guru" Jim Joe Kelly (Zach Galifianakis) who they paid $500,000 a week), plus expensive makeovers, 10-course lunches, real diamonds for Diamond Jim's suit, and a Johnny Depp impersonator. Because of this, the two leave Los Angeles in fear that they will go to prison or be hunted down by the Schlaaang Corp.
