Donald Faison and Loretta Devine are set to star opposite wannabe funny-man Anthony Anderson in New Line Cinema’s King’s Ransom according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The comedy will be directed by Jeff Byrd and is about a rich, cocky and despised businessman (Anderson) who realizes that he might lose half his wealth to the obnoxious wife he’s trying to divorce. He decides to arrange his own kidnapping in order to wipe himself out and claim poverty, but he discovers that several other parties have plans to kidnap and ransom him as well. Faison’s character works for the businessman. Devine will play the role of the businessman’s secretary.
