A change has been made by New Line Cinema concerning the progress of its new project, "Redneck Games." As reported by Variety, the company has shockingly decided to no longer use Shane Morris' comedy pitch and turns to the favor of Mike Karz and Josh Weinstock in bringing it up on wide screen.
The movie will take its focus of a noted athlete, who has fallen from grace, in his effort to redeem himself through competitions at the Redneck Games. A real event, Redneck Games were created in 1996 as a response to the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and feature unusual activities like Bobbing for Pig's Feet, Hubcap Hurl, the Mudpit Belly Flop, Armpit Serenade and the Butt Crack Competition.
