ThinkFilm will release FARCE OF THE PENGUINS in the late summer. Samuel L. Jackson will narrate the parody of the documentary MARCH OF THE PENGUINS.

The "story" centers penguin survival and mating rituals and one bird's search for love while on a 70-mile trek with hedonistic buddies obsessed with getting laid.

Bob Saget wrote the script for the film and is also producing with David Permut.

Saget voices the lovestruck penguin. Also in the voice cast are Lewis Black, Mo'Nique and Tracy Morgan. Jason Alexander, James Belushi, Jason Biggs, Dane Cook, Harvey Fierstein, Whoopi Goldberg, Gilbert Gottfried, Norm Macdonald, Carlos Mencia, Alyson Hannigan, Jamie Kennedy, Jon Lovitz, Adam Duritz and John Stamos and Dave Coulier, also will voice characters.

You have two types of person working on this project. The ones who still have a career and the that don't.....this sound really light.

I actually laughed reading the summary. I agree with you though berzerk, not sure about some of players at the end of the article. Bob Saget,John Stamos, and Dave Coulier? Full House reunion w/o the hotness of the now legal Olsen Twins. Could be pretty funny though.

Oh this sounds great... what a wonderful voice cast.

Bob Saget wrote this? He was boring and lame on Americas Funniest Home Videos, and nerdy on that show he had! But I will never forget his line in Half Baked how he sucked Dick for crack money.

Maybe he "Cooled Up" a little bit, I might have to check this out.

The voice cast sounds cool, but it sounds kinda thrown together too quickly. Are they doing this to get ahead of the other penguin film, Happy Feet, being released next year?
