LOS ANGELES and STAMFORD, Conn. – Ashok Amritraj’s Hyde Park Entertainment, Image Nation Abu Dhabi and WWE Studios announced that they are joining up again to co-produce a comedy with the working title “Untitled Celebrity Death Pool.” Ken Jeong (“The Hangover,” “Community”) has signed on to star in the satire, which centers on a struggling nightclub owner whom, after amassing a large debt from a loan shark, sets out to win his long-running celebrity death pool by attempting to kill his chosen celebrity, David Hasselhoff. Darren Grant (“Diary of a Mad Black Woman”) will direct from a script written by Peter Hoare.

In addition to Hasselhoff, legendary WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and an increasing number of other celebrities have signed on for various supporting roles and cameo appearances. Pre-production for the film commences this September in Los Angeles, with a theatrical release anticipated for 2015.

WWE Studios President Michael Luisi and Hyde Park’s Amritraj are producing the picture along with Hasselhoff, Michele Berk, Patrick Hughes and Warren Zide. Eric Gardner is Executive Producing. Hyde Park International will handle international sales with WWE Studios set to leverage its extensive multi-platform reach to promote the film.

Bradley Buchanan, SVP of Business Affairs, negotiated the deal on behalf of WWE Studios and Allen Babakhanloo, VP of Business Affairs, negotiated the deal on behalf of Hyde Park Entertainment.

Jeong is currently shooting "Ride Along 2" with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart for Universal Pictures.

Since Ken Jeong will be in it I'm going to give this one a automatic pass.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Alright WWE, since it's a "comedy" make your free throws, have Hasselhoff at death's door when this song kicks up, complete with someone running in slow motion

This sounds agonizing to sit through.

[PKO]

I've never really thought any of WWE's movies sounded awful, but that sure sounds awful.

The guy from Hangover is still a thing? He still does stuff?

WWE better get Alex Wright to play the role of Hasslehoff's biggest fan.

  The movie is probably the reason for the sudden emergence of the German Announce Table.

I wish they'd just do a WWE/Baywatch crossover movie.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I thought since VKM lost a shit load of money earlier in the year, that he would be careful with it and not throw it in the garbage.

I hope he gives Hasselhoff a "wictory".

[Brother-RD]

So the WWE is producing a movie where the central focus is a DEATH POOL.

Seems like a good idea.
