Lake Hope Features have just announced that they are collaborating with Kevin Smith (HTG:TV's Snobs!) and novice producer Blueothello to bring us Assassin: A College Tale. The comedy has tapped an interesting cast, including Kristen Stewart, Vincent Martella, Drake Bell, Ben Affleck, Zach Galifianakis, Seth Green, Selena Gomez, Khelo Thomas, and fresh off his run on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien. The film's premise is as follows: "College freshmen enter a contest to see who can stay awake the longest with the winner getting a huge sum of money."
This film announcement comes right off the heals of Lake Hope Features pushing multiple films back a couple months, including the antipicated action sequel Detention: Ballistophobia, which co-stars Cuba Gooding Jr (Gunz: Lost Salvation) and Christan Slater (Boomsday, Collins' Comet: Descent).
There are currently three other films scheduled for release in February, including a romance from the Flip Brothers, A Story About Life, MacGuffin, which we just posted about, and Horror City, a mysterious horror film from the Brothers Flip. Horror City is said to be an epic horror film, and might have to be pushed to summer to finish it. Only time will tell.
