Former Saturday Night Live star Will Forte will star in the Irish film, Run and Jump - from the producers of breakout hit, Once, according to Deadline.com.

The film was written by Ailbhe Keogan and Steph Green, and will be directed by Green - who has helmed a few short films, but will be making her feature debut. No plot details have been released, but the film also stars Maxine Peake, (the increasingly prolific) Brian F. O’Byrne and Sharon Horgan. Production is slated to begin in May.

This one has kind of creeped in under the radar. Forte is a very funny guy, and was great on SNL - the feature adaptation of his SNL sketch, MacGruber, had some funny moments too. Intriguing production to say the least...
