Exclusive: Chevy Chase to star in R-rated comedy 'Hot Tub Time Machine'

Categories: Movie Biz, News

Okay ’80s fans, get excited! Chevy Chase is back in the kind of movie that we (used to) love him in: an R-rated comedy. EW has learned exclusively that Chase has just been cast opposite John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Craig Robinson (The Office) in United Artist’s Hot Tub Time Machine, an absurdist comedy in which three grown-up guys return to the hot tub they once partied in, discover it’s a time machine, and are transported back to their days of glory. Chase will play a crazy repairman, who at times seems completely off his rocker, but may be the only one who can return the friends to the present day. Steve Pink (Accepted) is directing the movie, currently in production, based on a screenplay by Josh Heald.

    I hope the movie better than it sounds. I can see Chevy Chase doing this movie, but why is John Cusack slumming?

    What the heck are they smoking in the screenwriter schools these days????
    This movie sounds so stupid my IQ went down 4 points just reading the description.
    I’m sick of movie studios spending $50million to put out movies I could do with a camcorder…..

  • FTW and Chevy too

    This’ll suck hard and not just because of Chevy Choad!

  • Hey Kaiulan

    The BEST movie title ever is “Half Past Dead”, which sums up Cheney Chase’s career pefectly…
