Mini War Adds Brett Gelman, Rob Morgan and Kevin Nealon to Cast

Overview

• The casting was reported Friday and confirms Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens and Nick Swardson remain the film’s leads with Gelman as an eccentric investor and Morgan as the mini-golf course manager.
• The script is credited to Nick Swardson and Allen Covert with Joel David Moore directing and also taking a producing credit, keeping key Grandma's Boy collaborators on the creative team.
• Capture Entertainment has secured worldwide sales rights, a move that allows producers to pitch the R-rated comedy to international distributors while production and release timing are set.
• The story follows Joe, a likable stoner who inherits a mini-golf course and faces pressure from Darren, a rival who wants to bulldoze the property for his go-kart business, and Olivia, who runs a nearby hot-dog stand.
• The production brings back several producers from the 2006 cult hit Grandma's Boy, signaling an intent to replicate its irreverent tone and to target adult-comedy audiences as the project moves through early production.
