Gunpowder & Sky Preps Stunt Show with Zach Holmes

Gunpowder & Sky has inked a development deal with online daredevil Zach Holmes—who was recently banned from YouTube—for the Jackass-style stunt series Too Stupid to Die.

Holmes is known for performing extreme stunts and pranks. His notorious online videos have garnered millions of views. In addition to Holmes, the show will include regulars from his “crew,” including Coty, Meggan, Tommy “Mr. Invincible,” Blazer and Chad. The pilot has already been filmed, and Gunpowder & Sky will soon be searching for a distribution platform.

Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler served as executive producer on the Jackass series, movies and spin-offs.

“The first time I saw one of Zach’s videos I dropped everything and spent the day stalking his social media,” said David Harris, Gunpowder & Sky’s senior VP of development and former MTV producer. “I haven’t seen anyone as fearless, funny or creative since the Jackass guys.”

“I’ve worked with many different stunt crews over the years, and I have put in tons of hard work, sweat, blood, tears and injuries,” added Holmes. “But after years on hiatus, I started Too Stupid to Die with just a camera, and a dream to keep the dying Jackass genre of entertainment alive. Even when everybody seemed to forget about it, I never gave up. Now I have an outstanding crew and we are on the verge of making our dreams a reality! The future looks bright.”
