Jeremy Piven is getting his moment to shine. After years of plugging away as “funny guy” or “John Cusack’s character’s wacky friend” in the likes of Grosse Pointe Blank and Old School, he’s signing up for a starring role.
In an untitled comedy about a crafty real estate developer trying to destroy a forest, Piven will play the crooked businessman who finds out that nature doesn’t exactly take too kindly to his threats. Cue animal havoc and general wackiness.
