Once a top-notch milk sampler, Napoleon Dynamite is to star in Loudermilk.
Heder for Loudermilk
According to THR, Universal Pictures has picked up Loudermilk, a comedy pitch from Chris Bowman as a starring vehicle for Napolean Dynamite star Jon Heder.
Heder will also produce Loudermilk with the help of his brothers Dan and Doug Heder via their Universal-based shingle Greasy Entertainment. The project is the first to be acquired since Greasy set up shop at the studio in January.
Though the plot details behind Loudermilk are kept under tight secrecy, the film is considered a high-concept comedy.
Chris Bowman is shooting his first feature this year in Utah titled American Fork. The writer-director has teamed with Napolean Dynamite producer Jeremy Coon, Derek Beumer and Shannon Gardener.
You can see Jon Heder this weekend with the release of The Benchwarmers. The young actor is also filming Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell.
