Will Ferrell to Star in Cho Seung-Hui Bio-Pic
Will Ferrell lightening up infamous scene from Cho Seung-Hui manifesto
(Blacksburg, VA) Actor Will Ferrell announced today that he will play mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui in a film set for release next June.
Entitled Ismailman: The Legend of Cho Seung-Hui, the film will highlight a side of Cho missed by the public in the days after the horrors of the Virginia Tech massacre, said Ferrell.
"It's a bit of a change from my normal roles, but I hope to capture the comedy that lurked within Cho Seung-Hui," he said during a break on the movie set. "I mean, have you read that Richard McBeef shit? The guy was a comedy genius."
Ferrell will be joined in the film by longtime character actor Danny Aiello, who will play Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger.
"Danny's got to replace the Brooklyn tough-guy for a Shenandoah Valley academic, but he's perfect for the part," enthused Ferrell. "And we're adding some totally crazy scenes where President Steger and Cho Seung-Hui play a bunch of practical jokes on each other, like where Cho superglues these quarters to the floor of Norris Hall and Steger fights like hell to pick them up. Too funny! Oh, then Cho Seung-Hui blasts 32 innocent students to death. THAT part isn't very funny, but it's like one of those cathartic-comedy release moments. Then we get back to the funny parts."

Kiss my ass. When we can afford PhotoShop, we'll get it.
Besides, I think the cheap photo modification adds to the Hollywood stupidity we are lampooning.
