Johnny Knoxville, Cher team up for 'Drop-Out'

I know it sounds like an odd pair, but Johnny Knoxville and Cher are in talks to star in Ricky Blitt's comedy "The Drop-Out."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film "tracks the fortunes of a 35-year-old career college student (Knoxville) who is finally kicked out of his parents' house.

Desperate, he decides to get in good with the 62-year-old woman next door (Cher), so he can keep his food, couch and TV regimen intact. In the mix is the woman's ne'er-do-well son, who is looking for a father figure, even if it's a guy his own age."

"The Drop-Out" marks Blitt's directorial debut. He also wrote 2005's comedy "The Ringer," which also starred Knoxville.

Knoxville is currently producing MTV's new show "Nitro Circus." As for Cher, she was last seen in Bobby and Peter Farrelly's "Stuck On You."

Knoxville and Cher together in one film... can you believe it?
