Next Year's Snakes on a Plane?

(from Variety, by way of Defamer)

Christopher Walken is set to star alongside Dan Fogler in "Balls of Fury," the pingpong comedy written by "Reno 911" creators Thomas LennonThomas Lennon and Robert Ben GarantRobert Ben Garant.

Garant will direct for Rogue Films. Pic shoots in June.

Walken plays Fang, an evil crime lord who is also a pingpong enthusiast. Fogler, the Tony-winning star of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," plays a disgraced player enlisted by the CIA to join a tournament held in Fang's lair. Lennon plays the comeback kid's East German nemesis.

It will no doubt be crappy, yet, Christopher Walken, ping pong enthusiast crime lord? Genius

Also, will there be cowbells (autoloading QT stream at link)?

And have you volunteered for his Presidential Campaign yet?

(speaking of SoaP, we have a skeptic in our midst, pray for our brother, sistren and brethren, for he knows not what he says, by August 18th he will comeback to the true path and once again see the light)


(and while we are at it, let me add this simple defense for SoaP, Keith Dallas is in the movie (pictured above with Owen Wilson) and Owen Wilson (aka The Butterscotch Stallion) isn't (pictured above with Keith Dallas), and the character he plays, Big Leroy, 'nuff said)

(one other thing, will the marketing team come out with SoaP SOAP (it would have to be on Rope, SoaP SOAP on a Rope, sounds like a winner to me)?)
