Mark Hamill Will Star Opposite Comedian Bert Kreischer in Russian Mob Comedy THE MACHINE
Mark Hamill is set to star alongside comedian Bert Kreischer in a new comedy film project titled The Machine. The project is set up at Legendary Entertainment and the story is inspired by the comedian’s viral stand-up act about getting involved with the Russian mob while studying abroad in college.
Hamill will play Kreischer’s father in the film, which sees the events of the story “catch up with the comedian 20 years later when he and his father get kidnapped by the people Kreischer wronged. The film is described as The Hangover meets Midnight Run and will film in Serbia.”
Hamill responded to the casting news with the following video:
Peter Atencio, the director behind Key & Peele and Keanu, is set to helm the film. If you’re not familiar with the stand-up comedy act, you can watch it in its entirety below! It’s pretty damn entertaining and this whole thing could make for a hilarious flick!
