Monsters and Critics has learned from a reliable source that Peter Fonda ('Easy Rider', 1969) will take on the role of head biker in Touchstone Pictures' laffer, 'Wild Hogs.'
It was widely reported that Al Pacino would take on the role but M&C sources say, "not so", Fonda has signed up and is on set. The movie is presently in production and will release in March, 2007.
"Hogs" is the story of four frustrated, aging, suburbanite biker-wannabes who hit the open road together looking for adventure or whatever comes their way.
What comes their way is a group of real Hell’s Angels, and they aren’t exactly keen on posers.
Starring with Fonda are John Travolta,Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy. Movie is being helmed by Walt Becker ('Van Wilder'') from a screenplay by Brad Copeland.
