Unfortunately, There's No Stopping Larry the Cable Guy
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Casting », Fandom », Newsstand », Cinematical Indie »
Despite fairly disastrous theatrical
experiences so far, Larry The Cable Guy (aka Daniel Whitney) and his
Blue Collar standup friends are pressing forward with their cinematic careers, this time with a comedy called Delta
Farce (yes, even the title is frightfully clever). Though Blue
Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie was a box office bomb for Warner Brothers (it cost only $2 million, but grossed
a paltry $604,000), and Whitney's own star vehicle, Larry the Cable
Guy: Health Inspector had some rough times (According to Variety, the film had a $45 opening
night -- no, I've not left off any zeros -- in the Bronx. Can you imagine?), anything Blue Collar-related makes
big money on DVD sales, which probably explains why studios keep coming back for more.Delta Farce will star Whitney, Bill Engvall, and a third Blue Collar comedian (there's a massive, Blue Collar cage match scheduled for later this week: the winner gets the gig) as "inept, Iraq-bound Army reservists who are mistakenly dropped into Mexico and liberate a small village from marauders." The movie starts shooting next month, and Lionsgate will have it in theaters in spring, 2007. Gee, I can hardly wait.
