Hasselhoff to star in ‘Beverly Hills Ninja 2’
Franck Tabouring
Wow, I sure didn’t see this one coming so fast. In your opinion, what’s worse: the fact that “Beverly Hills Ninja 2” is actually happening, or the fact that it has David Hasselhoff in it? That’s a tough one.
Variety today reported the sequel to Chris Farley’s 1997 action comedy “Beverly Hills Ninja” will be heading into principal photography in South Korea early next month.
Mitchell Klebanoff, one of the writers of the first film, is directing his own script. As for the story, the flick follows an orphaned boy who desires to become a ninja but gets thrust into Hollywood’s crime scene instead.
The cast includes David Hasselhoff, “High School Musical” actor Lucas Grabeel and Lin Chiling (“Red Cliff").
The film is shooting for the most part in South Korea because it saves everybody tons of money. Hey, I would do the same. Sony Pictures plans to release the flick next May.
The only question is: who really wants to see “Beverly Hills Ninja 2”? I certainly don’t. How about you?

I was on set for some of the filming. While I am sure that the movie will be less than astonishing, the up and comer Lucas Grabel will impress.
