Christina Ricci, Owen Benjamin, Bill Engvall, Nadine Velazquez and Cedric the Entertainer are set to join Scott Marshall’s upcoming comedy “All’s Faire in Love,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Benjamin, who recently starred in “The House Bunny,” will play a drama school grad who becomes the fetch boy for his new Renaissance theater group. Things seem to improve when he meets a Faire virgin (Ricci), although his colleagues threaten to interrupt their romance.
Also on board are Ann-Margret, Louise Griffiths and Matthew Lillard. Marshall is directing a script by Robert A. White.
Originally, the film was titled “Ye Olde Times,” with Jack Black attached to star as a professor. Black’s role is now in the hands of Cedric the Entertainer.
Ricci recently starred in “Speed Racer.” She will next be seen in “New York, I Love You.” Engvall’s most recent big-screen appearance was “Delta Farce,” while Velazquez briefly showed up alongside Jason Statham in “War.”
