Theatrical poster for the film.

Status: Partially found

Osmosis Jones is a live-action/animated film, released in 2001, directed by the Farrelly Brothers. It stars Chris Rock as Osmosis Jones, a clumsy white blood cell, and David Hyde Pierce as Drix, a determined duty-serving cold pill, who is Osmosis Jones's partner and best friend. The two together have to defeat Thrax, voiced by Laurence Fishburne, a virus who is set to kill Frank, played by Bill Murray, the man whose body they are in. It was a box-office bomb, and was met with mixed reviews.

History

Osmosis Jones suffered through development hell, as directors were switched from Tom Sito and Piet Kroon, to Peter and Bob Farrelly. The film was originally rated PG-13. However, Warner Bros. wanted the film to be more family friendly oriented, so it was cut down to meet PG standards.
