David Hasselhoff’s sailing into Busan, but not to reprise his role as a “Baywatch” beach bum. He’s part of a cast of Hollywood actors and a film crew that’s coming to Korea’s second largest city to film the sequel of the hit 1997 movie “Beverly Hills Ninja.”
The prequel starred the late Chris Farley as an overweight white man who, after being raised by a family of ninjas, deludes himself into thinking he can become a great ninja in Beverly Hills. The Busan Film Commission announced yesterday that the city has been chosen as the location where Mitchell Klebanoff, a co-writer of the original film, will make his directorial debut in the sequel, tentatively titled “Tokyo Jones: The Legend of the Dancing Ninja.” This will be the first time a Hollywood movie is filmed on location in Korea.
Dude. Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-ling will also be in the movie, a casting decision I can really get behind. *cough*
