Duo Join 'Malibus Most Wanted'

[Tuesday, July 30th, 2002]
Anthony Anderson is set and Ryan O'Neal is in negotiations to star in Warner Bros. Pictures "Malibu's Most Wanted," starring Jamie Kennedy and directed by John Whitesell, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The project, previously known as "Suckaz," is based on one of Kennedy's characters from the WB Network's hidden-camera/sketch comedy series "JKX: The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." It centers on Gluckman (Kennedy), a white would-be rap star from Malibu whose wealthy father (O'Neal) is running for governor and is not pleased about having a son who walks and talks like he's from the 'hood. The father and his campaign manager (Blair Underwood) hire two Julliard-trained actors -- Anderson and Taye Diggs -- to portray actual "gangstaz," take the son to the 'hood and scare the urban attitude out of him.

The film will co-star Nick Swardson as Gluckman's sidekick, Mocha.

Shooting begins early next month.
