Jackass returns, will Knoxville?

Where there’s profit, there’s a sequel. The gross-out, low-budget comedy ‘Jackass’ cost $5 million to make and took in a ridiculous $65 million in ticket sales. So I suppose a sequel was inevitable.

Empire reports that ‘Jackass II’ is in the works at Paramount Pictures. The first movie was a spinoff of the MTV television show of the same name, and features, as the title suggests, stupid people doing really stupid (and frequently gross) things.

‘Jackass’ is also the thing that first foisted Johnny Knoxville on us, launching him into stardom. Unlike his fellow ‘Jackass’ cast mates, Knoxville has since flourished and developed a career as a semi-legitimate film actor. He's talked about returning to 'Jackass' in the past, but his high-profile celeb status could mean he’s too big now to do it.

There's no official word yet on whether or not Johnny will show up in 'Jackass II'.
