Now they are both teaming up again for a film titled Average Height, Average Build. Apart from directing it, McKay has also written the script for the film.
The ensemble cast of the film includes Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams, Robert Downey Jr., Forest Whitaker and Danielle Deadwyler. Mckay will also be producing the film under his banner Hyperobject Industries.
