New Cast Additions for “Mini War”
Actors Brett Gelman, Rob Morgan and former “Saturday Night Live” star Kevin Nealon have been added to the ensemble of the upcoming comedy “Mini War.” Gelman will portray Ned Parker, an eccentric Milwaukee investor, while Morgan takes the role of Ruben, the manager who helped build the inherited mini-golf course. Nealon joins the film in an unspecified part, rounding out a cast that already includes Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens and Nick Swardson.
Premise and Creative Team
“Mini War” follows Joe (Wilson), a likable stoner who unexpectedly inherits a mini-golf course from his late uncle. Seeking to sell the property and regain stability, Joe confronts Darren (Swardson), the owner of a neighboring go-cart track who plans to bulldoze the course to expand his “NazzKart” empire. The story blends humor, family drama and chaotic adventure. The film is directed by Joel David Moore, with a screenplay co-written by Nick Swardson and Allen Covert, the team behind the cult stoner comedy “Grandma’s Boy.”
