After missing its initial 2024 release date, a film based on the life of Houston mattress tycoon and one-time election skeptic Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale appears to be back on track. On Tuesday, Deadline exclusively reported that the film will be titled Mattress Mack and is set to begin production in Texas this month. Billy Magnussen, the actor and producer who appeared in the live action Lilo & Stitch remake, is set to star alongside Glee luminary Dianna Agron, Darby Lee-Stack of The Holdovers and Rob Corddry. The film will be directed and written by Houston-native director Shane Andries and produced by Magnussen.

I think this is awesome. As a multi-business owner and entrepreneur (albeit a little later in life than Mac) this sort of thing fascinates me. He is everything good about being self employed and making a go of things. We all generally started our businesses with some good common sense and a lot of hope, and probably during times when things weren't all rosy. I know I've been at a point where "I'm in trouble if this doesn't work out so this cannot fail." I think every business owner has to some degree or another. There comes a time when you do realize 'Man, if I take care of customers, this will work and I'm going to make it!".

I am really looking forward to this when it comes out. Good for Mac and I wish him nothing but continued epic success. He deserves it.

Not to take anything away from Mac, but I think he simply outworks his competition. Simple as that. He focuses on certain things and simply outworks everyone else...consistently...every single day.. That's what it takes!

He has a hell of a story. Will be interesting how it turns out as a movie.

It could be a funny movie. I bought Mac's autobiography at a half price bookstore & his early stories when starting out would be entertainment on the big screen:

- There was a large rat problem in the initial store & Mac had to discretely kick them away when talking with customers.

- Mac didn't have enough operating capital, so he would write a check to buy furniture from Dallas on Friday & make sales during the weekend in Houston before the check bounces on Monday.

If it's half as good as Sidekicks, count me in.

That's certainly a far cry from winning a bet a literally rolling a wheelbarrow full of money to a private jet

Would be better suited as a documentary. Surprised no one has attempted yet
