Charlie Kaufman's sophomore directing effort Frank Or Francis already has quite the high profile cast with Steve Carell, Nicolas Cage and Jack Black attached and it may be getting one more fairly big - and quite unexpected - name.
According to The Playlist, who have read the script, there is a part in the film for Kevin James to play - in true Being John Malkovich style - Kevin James. He would appear as the star of a film within the film titled Obese City as well as appearing as a presenter at the Academy Awards.
The fact that James is in the script, of course, doesn't mean that James will be in the movie and my hunch is that if he is we would have heard by now. And given that he's the same body type as Jack Black ... well, there's no reason at all that role couldn't simply be adjusted for someone else.
It's all speculation at this point, of course, but it's nice to hear that Kaufman hasn't abandoned his meta-ways.
