A large ensemble cast of comedy talents is being assembled with Jon Lovitz already confirmed to play Hasselhoff’s agent. A slew of cameos are also planned.
Michele Berk describes the tone of the film as “The Hangover meets Horrible Bosses”. They plan to shoot the project in the US in the autumn. Some footage will be shot in Los Angeles but they are also looking at states with attractive tax credits.
A director will be named in the coming weeks.
Berk is also producing the Baywatch movie at Paramount, which she says is now scripted and will be ready to shoot in the autumn.
