Bob Saget to direct R rated penguin mockumentary

I can't wait to see this.

Edit: this is from rottentomates.com. the jackson they are refering to is Sam jackson.




Saget is writing and directing "Farce of the Penguins," which lampoons the survival story of "March" and will follow that film's structure, lending character voices to real footage of penguins in the wild. Per Variety, "Farce" tells the story "of one bird's search for love while on a 70-mile trek with hedonistic buddies obsessed with getting laid."

Jackson will act as narrator in the vein of his "March" counterpart Morgan Freeman, but will lend his "signature" style to the pic to earn its R-rating. Jackson joins a cast that includes Saget (voicing the protagonist penguin), Dave Coulier and John Stamos (rounding out the "Full House" trifecta), Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Fierstein, Jon Lovitz, Norm MacDonald, Mo'Nique, Carlos Mencia, Tracy Morgan, Lewis Black, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook, Gilbert Gottfried, Jason Biggs, Jamie Kennedy, Alyson Hannigan, James Belushi and Adam Duritz.

"Farce of the Penguins" is a ThinkFilm release and is set to hit theaters this summer."

This one's too easy. How many of you did an MST3K bit with your friends while watching MOTP? If done right, Saget's movie could be very funny.

Bob Saget is the fucking man.

Samuel L. Jackon also happens to be the best bad ass motherfucker out there. First he's battling snakes on a plane and now he's narrating an R-rated penguin documentary? He's slowly on his way to winning Oscar gold!

And an impressive cast list...
