of interstitials produced by the channel throughout the year, but it was postponed to November of the following year as Fausto Fanti, who was considered the group's "intellectual mentor", committed suicide by hanging at his apartment on July 30, 2014, following increasing bouts of depression. He was subsequently replaced by his brother, Franco Fanti. Their contract with FX expired in 2016. Hermes & Renato launched their first theater play, Uma Tentativa de Show, in 2017. In 2020, Felipe Torres joined fellow humorists Paulinho Serra (formerly from Comédia MTV and Pânico na TV), Raul Chequer and Leandro Ramos (both from YouTube and television series Choque de Cultura) to star in the comedy film Abestalhados 2, directed by Marcos Jorge (who previously directed Estômago in 2007) and Marcelo Botta; originally scheduled to be released in early 2021, it eventually came out on October 27, 2022, to positive reviews. The same year, he and Adriano Silva made guest appearances on Comedy Central's sitcom Auto Posto. In 2021, Torres (as his character Boça) made an appearance on the music video for "Higher Than Your Heels", by Curitiba-based hard rock band Electric Mob. Documentary and cancelled film In 2009, celebrating Hermes & Renato's 10th anniversary, MTV Brasil released an hour-long documentary entitled A Verdadeira História de Hermes & Renato, and the troupe also announced that they began planning a full-length film, scheduled to premiere in movie theaters by 2011; after missing its planned release date no further news emerged, and following the closure of MTV Brasil in 2013 and the suicide of Fausto Fanti in 2014 it was presumably cancelled.
