The Wendell Baker Story
Wendell Baker Movie Trailer
The Wendell Baker Story is the first film directed by Luke Wilson and older brother Andrew Wilson. The film stars an entourage cast that includes Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, Seymour Cassel, Jacob Vargas, Harry Dean Stanton, Kris Kristofferson and Eddie Griffin.
Wendell Baker (Luke Wilson) is a dreamer and schemer whose latest scam lands him in jail and alienates him from his longtime girlfriend Doreen (Eva Mendes), best friend Reyes (Jacob Vargas) and even his dog, Junior. Eternally optimistic, Wendell makes the most of his time behind bars and vows to turn his life around. Upon release, he gets a job at the Shady Grove retirement hotel, where he befriends residents Boyd (Seymour Cassel), Skip (Harry Dean Stanton) and Nasher (Kris Kristofferson). Wendell's new friends advise him on how to win back his girlfriend, while he helps them battle the hotel's evil head nurse, Neil King (Owen Wilson) and his right-hand man, McTeague (Eddie Griffin).
I expected to see at least bits of the synopsis above shown in the trailer for The Wendell Baker Story. However, instead we get to see Luke punched by Will Ferrell, Eva Mendes looking hot, Owen looking devious, Eddie Griffin looking, well, Eddie Griffin, with them all wrapped up in a dusty setting.
I don't know, maybe you can see a bit more of the synopsis than I did. Check out the trailer at the official site.
The Wendell Baker Story will hopefully be released in 2006.
