Cusack, Corddry jump into 'Hot Tub'
Robinson, Duke in talks to join MGM comedy
By MICHAEL FLEMING
Variety.com
John Cusack, Rob Corddry are set and Craig Robinson ("Knocked Up") and Clark Duke ("Sex Drive") are negotiating to star in "Hot Tub Time Machine," the Steve Pink-directed MGM comedy.
Production will start April 20 in Vancouver. Cusack and New Crime partner Grace Loh will produce with Matt Moore.
Scripted by Scott Heald, the comedy follows a group of friends who are frustrated with return to a ski lodge where they partied as teens. They then get in a hot tub--which happens to be a time machine--and get transported to 1987.
Deal gets MGM to the start line with another comedy. The studio just landed "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" star Kevin James to star in the Frank Coraci-directed "The Zookeeper."
It sounds so stupid but I would go see this.
