Frank Coraci Will Direct Kevin James in Mixed Martial Arts Film
Let’s talk about an untitled comedy about martial arts. Or something like that.
Anyway, we have the news that goes like this: Frank Coraci (you remember the man from The Wedding Singer) has signed on to direct Kevin James in (still) untitled comedy.
Not such a surprise actually, because we already know the duo from the upcoming comedy Zookeeper (which stars James, directed by Coraci).
So, at this moment we know that Allan Loeb (responsible for The Switch) is behind the story and that the actor will play:
“a physics teacher who moonlights as a mixed martial arts fighter to raise money and save the music program his students love. He makes it all the way to the UFC.”
Salma Hayek in Kevin James’ MMA Movie
“We’ve got a movie coming to town. Salma Hayek comes back to town, too.” Yes, please!
Salma Hayek
That sounds just perfect, especially when we add another name to the upcoming movie, Kevin James!
Perfect combination for The Sony Pictures comedy that is being written by The Switch screenwriter Allan Loeb.
International The Switch Trailer
An international trailer for The Switch comedy, starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman and Patrick Wilson, has hit the web.
Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman in The Switch
Aniston stars alongside Bateman in this offbeat comedy as Kassie, a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s (Bateman) objections, decides it’s time to have a baby?even if it means doing it by herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor (Wilson).
The Switch Poster
The first poster is out for The Switch, Jennifer Aniston is starring in yet another romantic comedy, acting alongside leading man Jason Bateman.
The film features Aniston as Cassie, a single woman living in New York who decides to have a baby by way of artificial insemination, despite the objections of her neurotic best friend, Wally (Bateman). Wally quickly becomes jealous of the handsome and charismatic donor she has selected (played by Watchmen’s Patrick Wilson), and in a drunken stupor, substitutes his own sperm in place of Wilsons’. Seven years later, he meets his son when Aniston moves back to New York, and has to decide how to reconcile himself to the situation.
