Greg Mottola casts Van Wilder in “Adventureland”
Ryan Reynolds is leaving the six-pack and guns behind to play the lead in Greg ‘Superbad’ Mottola’s new comedy, “Adventureland”, based on the director’s own experiences working at an amusement park as he was growing-up.
Jesse Eisenberg also stars in the pic, which is set in summer 1987 and centers on an uptight recent college grad who is forced to take a degrading minimum-wage job at the local amusement park after he realizes he can’t afford his dream European tour. Reynolds will play Connell, an aspiring rock star and the icon of cool to all the kids working at the park.
The flick starts lensing next month in Pittsburgh, according to Variety.
The Hollywood Reporter says “Messengers” star Kristen Stewart has also snagged a role in the film, Click Here for that info.
