Local Pride

God help me for including this on my blog. Normally I try to avoid any Jackass alums like the plague, unfortunately I have an overdeveloped sense of pride regarding k-town...

Empire Online reports that Johnny Knoxville is in final talks to star in "Daltry Calhoun", a Miramax movie about the head of a golfing empire who struggles to keep things together when his estranged 14 year-old daughter suddenly shows up and throws his life into chaos. Juliette Lewis, Elizabeth Banks and David Koechner will co-star in the flick, which is set coincidentally enough in Knoxville, Tennesse. It's also another example of how busy the former "Jackass" star is with Farrelly Brothers-produced comedy, "The Ringer" due shortly, he's currently filming skateboard drama "Lords Of Dogtown", and last week he signed on to star in "The Dukes Of Hazzard".
