Ken Jeong will try to kill David Hasselhoff in a celebrity death pool movie
Because recent events have proven that there’s nothing quite as lighthearted or amusing as the death of someone who’s been a lasting part of the cultural consciousness for decades, Ken Jeong has signed on to star in an upcoming comedy about a down-on-his-luck nightclub owner who tries to raise money to cover his debts by murdering his pick in a celebrity death pool: David Hasselhoff.
The film, currently known only as Untitled Celebrity Death Pool and adapted from a spec script by writer Peter Hoare, is a joint production of Hyde Park Entertainment and WWE Studios. Darren Grant is set to direct, and Hasselhoff will co-star as himself as well as receive a producing credit. Oh, and Hulk Hogan is in it also, because wrestling, we guess.
The often-best-in-small-doses Jeong in a starring role. Hulk Hogan acting. An unproven screenwriter with a clever but hard-to-market idea. The director of Diary Of A Mad Black Woman. The producer behind Battlefield Earth and Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li. It’s like someone made a bet that they could make a movie in 2014 in which David Hasselhoff was the most interesting and marketable component. That, or this is a Producers-esque attempt to sequester all of the most overexposed elements of Hollywood in a project that can easily be scuttled as soon as a high-profile celebrity death renders the whole premise too much of a pain in the ass to release.
This sounds so bad it's probably going to be amazing, tbh
Also, since Justin Bieber continues to make horrible career choices, he's in it...
The Biebs and The Hoff running from Professor Chang? This would be a mildly funny 2 minute youtube video. I can't wait.
