Lee Evans was Hitler's weatherman

Lee Evans is set to star in high-concept WWII comedy 'I Was Hitler's Weatherman'.

May 23 2007

Sweaty comedy star Lee Evans has signed up to co-write and star in a bizarre new comedy entitled 'I Was Hitler's Weatherman'.

Evans will star as young Jew who goes into hiding during the war and assumes the identity of Nazi meteorologist Ernest Deisin. He excels at the job however, so much so that he is soon promoted to Hitler's personal meteorologist.

Evans has co-written the script with Stuart Silver, Stanley Tucci is currently in talks to play Hitler, while Stuart Urban ('Our Friends in the North') will direct.
