Valderrama is a Minor?
Filed under: Comedy, Casting, Warner Brothers, Newsstand
Wilmer Valderrama who, with the merciful ending of That '70s Show is going movie crazy, has added
yet another feature to his already full slate. This time, he's agreed with Warner Brothers to star in Unaccompanied Minors, a comedy set in a
fictional airport. In the movie, a group of middle school students from broken homes find themselves stranded at the
airport, and take the opportunity to "create a makeshift holiday." Hmm. Does anyone else see a problem here?
The report says that Valderrama is going to star, but the thought of having the guy who is going to play Ponch
pretend to be in middle school is more than a little laughable. So far, his costars are Brett
Kelly (he's 13) and Tyler James Williams the star of Everybody Hates
Chris who, quite reasonably, is also 13. Valderrama? 26. At the moment, we're just going to have to fervently hope that the movie's "star" turns out to be an adult, for some reason. If it's not, all actors under 20 need to write nasty letters to the casting people at Warner's, because I'm sure at least one of them could match Valderrama's acting *cough* chops. Oh God, wait - do you think Valderrama's character has been held back 13 times, or something? Is that really funny or really dumb? It's so hard to decide.

I'm sure it isn't going to be too goofy, since one pitch for the film is "Breakfast Club in an airport". My guess is that Valderrama is playing someone who works at the airport, or is another snowed-in passenger, or something stereotypically-charged so that he can redo his 70s Show accent that the kids know him by.
