"What are some of your favorite memories from working with Ellen Page and Alia Shawkat?

Tillman: I was really only on set for a few days. That part was shot in Detroit. It was really fun to show up and introduce the cast to my local friends. We ended up having really fun game nights at Meg White's house—Trivial Pursuit and beer. I had been friends with Alia for a while and met Ellen on set. We didn't really start working on ideas together until we all went to Sayulita, Mexico, in a group for New Year's. That's where Stitch N' Bitch was born. We met a few times in L.A. to discuss, then we went to Amsterdam to write the first two episodes. HBO liked what they read, so we are currently developing it with them.

CP: What role are you playing in the production of Stitch N' Bitch?

Tillman: As of now, I'm playing Har Mar. Everyone is playing an amped-up version of themselves, for the most part. I'll be kind of like the Schneider in the girls' apartment building. Ellen and Alia will be Nico and Kyla in a perfect world. That's the idea, but we can't really announce anything official yet because we haven't shot anything yet."

Sounds pretty awesome! Thanks for posting Jim!

Thanks to Milo (bluetoes) for creating this fabulous sig for us over 25ers

At the moment it looks like the trio will play an active part in it If so, I hope it won't affect the quality of the final product when the writers and producer also step in front of the camera.

[Edit - November 5, 2009]

Here's another interview with Har Mar talking about the upcoming series and a threesome

Sean Tillman's back to grin and bare it as Har Mar Superstar
by Carl Atiya Swanson, published on November 5, 2009

Be forewarned: If you attend a Har Mar Superstar show, there is a good chance you'll be taking your clothes off. It's a lock that Har Mar himself will be stripped down by the end of the night. The stocky, balding Minnesotan whose driver's license reads "Sean Tillman" makes an unlikely lothario, but the confidence, dedication, and goofy energy he exudes is undeniably charming. Tillman has had a busy year both musically and beyond, releasing his first Har Mar album in five years, Dark Touches, and seducing Hollywood with a co-starring role in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It, and co-writing Stitch N' Bitch, an HBO show in production with Whip It stars Ellen Page (Juno) and Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development). Before he returned home this week for a show with Kool Keith Nov. 5 at the Triple Rock and a headlining gig at the Varsity Nov. 6, The A.V. Club caught up with Tillman about his projects, touring, and having cold cuts eaten off his chest.

The A.V. Club: So here’s the question I feel I have to ask, given the Har Mar Superstar persona. Are you sleeping with Ellen Page and Alia Shawkat?
Sean Tillman: I am not. I am not having any threesomes with Alia and Ellen. That would be totally weird.

AVC: But you are writing a show with them for HBO.
ST: Yeah, but that's totally different. [Laughs.] They are like my sisters. So that would be gross. I would be a gross person. [Laughs.]

AVC: Stitch N' Bitch has been described as following two New York hipster girls trying to become artists in Los Angeles, but there aren't many other details out there yet. Can you shed some more light?
ST: It's basically making fun of ourselves, making fun of hipster culture that goes on around us that we also are part of.

AVC: It's meta-hipsterism.
ST: Yes, exactly. [The characters are] trying so hard to fit in that they ruin everything that they touch.

AVC: Are you going to act in it?
ST: We all want to. I mean, that's the idea of the whole show. It's all up to schedules, and if HBO makes it a series. I'm sure we would all be more than psyched to have our own show that we would be running and acting in and writing.

AVC: If it's anything like the "Don't Stop Believing" video you made with them, America should hold onto its pants.
ST: Yeah, that's definitely what we are like when we are together so I have a feeling that some of that spirit shall be reflected in the show. [Laughs.]

AVC: How did you get cast in Whip It?
ST: I’m friends with Drew and she thought it would be fun for me to do that role. I don't know, that's about it. I was just hanging around after a tour and I got a call seeing if I wanted to come play this role in like, two days and I did. It was awesome.

I was pleased to read today in the Halifax Chronicle Herald that Stitch N'Bitch is still on the go for Ellen:

Also some Inception information in there too.

I'm going to Amsterdam on Monday... maybe I can somehow write the first two episodes of a hipster comedy which will one day star Ellen Page and Alia Shawkat. But in all greatness, this sounds like it'll be a blast.

You're just going to drink coffee and hang out in museums, right
