After making it clear that he can be do drama and action just as well as comedy, it's time for Bob Odenkirk's next big project.
Where will he go next? Live theatre? A a psychological thriller? The next three-hour-long Scorsese film? Nope, he's doing a remake of Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
Never let them know your next move, I guess. Take a look at him in action:
Bob will be playing Tommy Wiseau's character Johnny in a re-enactment of the independent 2003 film that's only famous because of how painfully bad it is.
And it won't be like when James Franco played Tommy/Johnny in the 2017 film The Disaster Artist, capturing every dreadful line read and desperate attempt at acting.

No, Bob will be playing the role as seriously and earnestly as he can - which is actually probably how Tommy Wiseau originally envisioned it.
If you're not too familiar with the 20-year-old cult film, it tells the story of a dangerous love triangle between a man named Johnny, his deceptive girlfriend Lisa, and his best friend Mark.
There are some pretty odd sub-plots, including a creepy neighbour kid who also has the hots for Lisa, but has bigger problems on his hands after a run-in with a drug dealer.

It gave us such iconic quotes as: "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!," and "I did not hit her, it's not true! It's bulls**t! I did not hit her. I did not!"
This new remake comes from Acting For A Cause, an organisation that raises money for various charities by putting together celebrity-led productions for donations.
When Slashfilm reported on the news, Bob Odenkirk took to Twitter himself to confirm the details.

“This is real. This is true,” the Better Call Saul star wrote.
"And let me tell you, I tried my best to SELL every line, as honestly as I could…and I had a BLAST."
While some photos from production have been shared on Acting For A Cause's social media, the organisation has not yet shared a release date for what's bound to be a bizarre film.
All money raised from the re-enactment will go toward non-profit organisation amfAR, which funds AIDS Research.

Not much else is known about the production right now - even Tommy Wiseau seems to be in the dark about the whole operation, with representatives telling Variety that he only found out about the project this week like everyone else.
But, by gosh, will we be keeping an eye on this one.
