Chris Morris and Sam Bain have said that they have targets for their new film Four Lions.

The comic pair, who have penned the story about a terrorist plot to bomb London with Jesse Armstrong, are hoping for the movie to be a success.

Morris told Time Out: "We've got a target and when we hit that target - it's like a Blue Peter fundraiser - we've got various dares.

"If we get £1m at the box office, Sam's going to run around in his chicken costume and Jesse's going to shoot someone in the leg!"

Bain added: "I suppose it's that Chris has achieved a tone that I'm proud to be associated with. It's good. We've done it, a fun film about terrorists. I just hope it gets a good reception."

Four Lions is released in the UK on May 7.
