In one of the strangest headlines we’ve written, a brilliantly bizarre casting combination has thrown Ken Jeong (The Hangover), Hulk Hogan (the wrestling icon with screen credits including Rocky III, and Mr Nanny), and David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider) together for an untitled comedy focussing on celebrity death pools.
Formerly known as Killing Hasselhoff, the upcoming comedy revolves around the idea of placing bets on when certain people will die. Ken Jeong will star as a struggling nightclub owner who’s in a lot of debt, and… well, you can probably guess the rest.
A man in dire need of a “Don’t Hassle The Hoff” t-shirt, David Hasselhoff will be appearing as himself, and targeted by Jeong, though there’s no word as yet on what/how Hulk Hogan will be slot into proceedings in the David Hasselhoff produced movie (from WWE Studios) which is due to be directed by Darren Grant (Diary Of A Mad Black Woman), ahead of an as yet unannounced release date.
