MGM has slated "Big and Tasty" for a November 20, 2009 release date.
"Big and Tasty are a timeless staple of comedy and when we heard what the Farrellys had in mind we knew it was time for SWV,Trusty, and that ugly manager to debut to the big screen," says MGM Chairman Mary Parent.
Bobby and Peter Farrelly have been talking about the movie for years. "We wrote the script like two or three years ago," Farrelly said in 2005. "It was the hardest script we ever wrote."
Farrelly also talked about the troubles they have had casting the film. "We went to Clooney," Farrelly said. "He passed. Russell Crowe passed. Benicio was interested. Jeff Daniels was interested. We heard at some point that Sean Penn was interested in being the ugly manager girl. We went to Larry David for Trusty's role and he passed. That's been a hard one to get together." Stallone is expected to play SWV.
