Rob Morgan is the latest to join Mini War, the upcoming feature comedy starring Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens and Nick Swardson. Morgan will play Ruben, the manager of a mini golf course who helped build it alongside the late uncle of Wilson’s character Joe. He joins fellow new additions Brett Gelman and Kevin Nealon.
The film comes from the team behind the stoner cult comedy Grandma’s Boy, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Swardson and Allen Covert wrote the script with Joel David Moore directing.
Wilson plays Joe, a likable stoner who unexpectedly inherits a mini golf course from his late uncle. Eager to sell the course and get his life back on track, Joe sets out to find a buyer who will maintain his uncle’s legacy, but Darren, played by Swardson, the owner of the go-cart track across the street, has other plans. Darren wants to bulldoze the mini golf course to expand his go-carting empire and fulfill his NazzKart dream. Hudgens plays Olivia, who runs the Who Let the Hot Dogs Out food stand off the highway between the two courses and finds herself caught in the middle of Darren and Joe’s all-out war.
The film is produced by Jarod Einsohn, Joel David Moore of Balcony 9 Productions, Limor Hakim, Bill Todman Jr. and Edward Milstein of Level 1 Entertainment and David Wachs and Ojan Missaghi of Toric Films. Capture Entertainment has acquired worldwide film sales rights.
