Mark Hamill has signed on for his next feature film with an adaptation of comedian Bert Kreischer's real-life exploits titled The Machine.
The comedy is inspired by Kreischer's popular stand-up routines about his drunken college days, particularly a viral monologue about his time studying abroad in Russia and befriending local mobsters, Deadline reports.
The film will at least partially be set in the present, with Kreischer, 48, starring as himself and Hamill, 69, playing his father who gets roped into the consequences of his son's actions.
