Sounds like ACTION PARK and DANGEROUS AMUSEMENT PARK are the same title, a Johnny Knoxville project
DEADLINE: You haven’t shut the door on another Jackass movie?
KNOXVILLE: No. I’m open to it. We’re just terrible planners. And more Bad Grandpa. I love that kid, Jackson Nicoll, whose parents send me the funniest pictures of him. One was him sitting at a table with four adults, he’s getting this facial with a pie, by the people he’d just beaten in a pie eating contest. So much fire in him. He knew he was brought on the movie to act up, and he didn’t disappoint. Even between takes he gave us total hell. You had to cover yourself all the time or he’d get you. And when I brought my kids to the set he couldn’t have been sweeter. But we’d rattle his cage every chance we got. I’m open to that idea, and we’re working on a couple others. One I’m really excited about is called Action Park.
DEADLINE: What’s that?
KNOXVILLE: Bad Grandpa was like a narrative movie with pranks. This is a narrative movie with stunts, more of a narrative than Bad Grandpa, but you know all the stunts will be designed by me, and I’ll be doing them for real, and we have a script we’re really happy with. The goal is a big, fun ‘80s type comedy. It’s about this park in New Jersey, it actually existed. I don’t know if we’ll call it this, but there was this park called Action Park and it was like as if us, instead of doing Jackass, decided to open a theme park. It has that same spirit, like all the safety was left up to the people who walked in.
DEADLINE: No wonder it’s not there anymore.
KNOXVILLE: The design of the rides was built about as cleverly as we build things. I mean most of the kids were like early 20s or teens, and I suspect they were not sober a lot. The stories about Action Park are well documented. In our movie, we have this theme park where I’m the designer of the rides. That one seems closest. Right now I’m doing one in New Orleans, Elvis & Nixon, with Michael Shannon playing Elvis and Kevin Spacey as Nixon. I play Sonny West, Elvis’s security guard, who goes with Elvis to the White House. Two of the best actors of their generation. I’m still writing ideas for Jackass. I have not put all that behind me.
