Lampooner

From Star Wars: The Force Awakens to...A Futile & Stupid Gesture?

Don’t let it be said that Domhnall Gleeson isn’t thematically ambitious.

The Brooklyn star is set to co-star in a new Netflix joint by that title, with Will Forte (TV’s The Last Man on Earth). The project will serve as a biopic of the guys who founded the National Lampoon humor magazine, Doug Kenney, Henry Beard, and Robert Hoffman.

Gleeson will portray Beard, while Forte has been tapped to play Kenney.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp’s David Wain is directing the movie based on an eponymous book by Josh Karp – so you know it will have that (brand o funny) going for it.
