Making a slight diversion from pure comedy genre, Tom Arnold has eagerly signed on to star in an independent comedic thriller entitled "Remarkable Power" playing as a low-rent private investigator.

No words yet on production schedule, but it is said that the flick will focus on an eclectic collection of Los Angeles residents whose lives are intertwined after a late-night talk-show host plots an elaborate stunt to save his canceled show, with murder and mayhem ensuing.

Accompanied Arnold in the cast list are Kip Pardue, Nora Zehetner, Dule Hill, Johnny Messner, Bob Sapp, Kevin Nealon, and Christopher Titus among others. All will come under the direction of Brandon Beckner who also penned the script alongside Scot Sampila with Arnold executive producing.
