Universal has signed Jackass’ Johnny Knoxville to lead their Ferris Bueller-esque comedy, Sick Day. The story follows "a man who calls in sick to skip work, only to have his plans for the day go terribly awry. He falls into a series of disastrous encounters with his neighbors that may endanger his wife's chances for a job promotion."
I am not really expecting many surprises with this one, but I am sure it will be entertaining. I actually wouldn't mind calling in sick for work today to do something more fun. Hell, even if it led to a series of "disastrous encounters," at least I wasn't at work. My job is nothing but dealing with disastrous encounters!
The movie is being directed by Jeremy Garelick and will be produced by Brian Grazer and Kim Roth.

Exclusive: Johnny Knoxville has come attached to star in Sick Day, the comedy that Jeremy Garelick will direct for Universal Pictures. Jordan Cahan will rewrite the script originated by Garelick, the latter of whom picked Cahan because he is busy in postproduction on The Wedding Ringer, his directorial debut for Screen Gems. Brian Grazer is producing the comedy for Imagine Entertainment alongside Kim Roth. Edward Bates will also produce under his Bates Entertainment banner. In what is a modern-day Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Knoxville will play one of three thirtysomething friends who uphold a tradition of calling in sick one day a year to fulfill fantasies while not getting caught. He is the first actor in the fold. I still can remember at Variety, being the first journalist to see and write about his absolutely shocking home movie shot by Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze that became the template for Jackass,...

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel...
