The remake, which is being produced mostly with green screens, will benefit the Foundation for AIDS Research.
On Thursday, Odenkirk himself confirmed the report, tweeting, “This is real. This is true. And let me tell you, I tried my best to SELL every line, as honestly as I could…and I had a BLAST.”

Odenkirk will be taking on Wiseau’s lead role in the remake.
