Jesus, where the hell has Fred Ward been? I mean, sure, he’s been out there, in such projects as last year’s Armored and appearances in United States of Tara, In Plain Sight, ER and Grey’s Anatomy, but I somehow managed to not see him since sometime around 2002 (in Enough. Don’t judge me). Well Remo has landed a gig with Zombieland director, Ruben Fleischer, in 30 Minutes or Less for Columbia and MRC.
The action comedy,
which revolves around two criminals who force a junior-high history
teacher and a pizza-delivery man to rob a bank by strapping one of
them into a bomb vest. Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Michael
Pena, Nick Swardson and Aziz Ansari star. Ward will play “The Major,” the father of McBride’s character. Michael Diliberti and Matthew Sullivan wrote the screenplay.
Filming begins next month in Grand Rapids, MI.
Here’s a thought: with all the remakes, reboots, redos and rehashes gripping Hollywood, Remo Williams: The Adventures Continues. Or give me Ward and Bacon in a Tremors sequel worth watching. Something.

Great headline. I spit out my cereal.
Just watched Tremors and Dangerous Beauty in the last few days. Yea, I got some time on my hands…
all tremors sequels are worth watching.
Fred Ward is a BADASS!!! Good to see him working!
I would pay good money to see a Tremors sequel with Bacon, Ward, and Michael Gross. They could even bring back Reba McEntire. How awesome would that be?!
I eagerly await the final Graboid adventure of Val & Earl. If only the movie gods would be so generous.
I'd pay for a REAL Tremors sequel with Bacon and Ward back in the saddle. I absolutely love the first one and have probably seen it more than any other movie, it's just fun as hell. Also, what the hell ever happened to director Ron Underwood?
"force a junior-high history teacher and a pizza-delivery man to rob a bank by strapping one of them into a bomb vest"… Sounds like a comedy to me!
Man! I just watched Miami Blues this past weekend, and found myself wondering "Where In The World Is Fred Ward?" I'd also like to nominate a spin-off from 'The Player,' starring Fred.
Holy shit, I saw The Player too the other day. It played late on CBC.
Three Fred Ward movies in just as many days. Very weird.
Apple has a great looking trailer up for a french espionage thriller called FAREWELL, with Fred Ward as Ronald Reagan. Fred Ward As Ronald Reagan!! Fan-Fuckin'-Tastic!!!
