Jackson narrates 'Farce of the Penguins'

Samuel L will be performing Morgan Freeman duties on the forthcoming spoof documentary.

Mar 24 2006

The voice cast has been announced for 'Farce of the Penguins', Bob Saget's forthcoming 'March of the Penguins' spoof.

The film, which is due to hit screens later this year, will feature the vocal talents of James Belushi, Jason Biggs, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Alyson Hannigan and Jamie Kennedy.

And Samuel L Jackson will assume the Morgan Freeman role, narrating the comedy documentary in foul-mouthed fashion.

'Farce of the Penguins' will feature real-life wildlife footage, but rather than depicting the penguins' struggle for survival, the story will instead revolve around one bird's search for love while his penguin buddies just try to get laid. Sounds like a winner to us!
