Peter Farrelly In Talks With Zac Efron, John Cena For R-Rated Comedy ‘Ricky Stanicky’
EXCLUSIVE: In a Deadline interview this morning, writer/director Peter Farrelly revealed he is planning an early 2023 start for Ricky Stanicky, his first R-rated comedy in years. He is in talks with Zac Efron and John Cena, with the latter playing the title role. He cautions deals aren’t done, but he is sparked to move forward on a film he’s been working on through the making of Best Picture Oscar winner Green Book, and The Greatest Beer Run Ever. The latter makes its World Premiere Tuesday at TIFF, where Farrelly launched Green Book five years ago.
