Empire Online reports that Johnny Knoxville is in final talks to star in "Daltry Calhoun", a Miramax movie about the head of a golfing empire who struggles to keep things together when his estranged 14 year-old daughter suddenly shows up and throws his life into chaos.
Juliette Lewis, Elizabeth Banks and David Koechner will co-star in the flick, which is set coincidentally enough in Knoxville, Tennesse. It's also another example of how busy the former "Jackass" star is with Farrelly Brothers-produced comedy, "The Ringer" due shortly, he's currently filming skateboard drama "Lords Of Dogtown", and last week he signed on to star in "The Dukes Of Hazzard".
A September 25 start date for filming has been announced for this directorial debut of Katrina Holden Bronson. Miramax and Quentin Tarantino's L. Driver Prods. are co-producing.
