Christina Ricci Set for Porn-ish 'Born to Be a Star'

I don't recall an Adam Sandler script that wasn't also a Happy Madison production, but that's the case with Born to Be a Star, which is described by The Hollywood Reporter as a "porn-tinged comedy" that will star Christina Ricci...but don't let your mind run too wild on that idea. The movie is about a dweeb from Iowa who discovers that his parents were porn stars back in the 1970s, which prompts him to move to California to take up the family business. Ricci would play his girlfriend, and since The Reporter says she's innocent, we'll assume she's the pre-porn girlfriend in Iowa. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing the subject matter has something to do with why Sandler isn't producing the film. Happy Madison is too big a brand to be associated with the adult industry. Instead, comedian Nick Swarsdon is co-producing along with Miles Deep Productions. There's no word on who will play the parents or the male lead, but that should be settled fairly soon since the film is reportedly going in front of cameras within the next 30 days. I realize it's very early in the game, but I'm going to cast my vote for terrible. The concept will never get any funnier than it just read, and hiring director Tom Brady (The Hot Chick, The Comebacks) makes me think this project would be in better hands if they handed it over to the other Tom Brady.
