Andy Samberg is revving his engine for the big screen. The "Saturday Night Live" star has signed on to star in the rowdy comedy "Hot Rod."
The Paramount Pictures project centers on an accident-prone daredevil (Samberg) who plans to jump the Snake River on a moped to emulate his hero Evel Knievel in order to win over his hard-to-please stepfather. The studio is eyeing a July start.
Samberg will be joined by his "SNL" colleagues Jorma Taccone, who also has joined the cast, and Akiva Schaffer, who will make his feature directorial debut on the picture. Pam Brady ("South Park") wrote the script
Hopefully leaving SNL will give them the chance to be great again.
