MGM has made bought the rights to Henry Bates and the Sorcerer's Balls - a spoof of the "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" franchises. The studio is looking to conjure up a fantasy parody in the vein of the "Scary Movie" horror-spoof franchise. The film was scripted by David Morgasen, James R. Stein and Timothy Stack.
"Our good wizard is Gandolfini, who goes against the evil wizard Enron," Morgasen told Variety. "The quest involves Henry Bates, the rightful king of the land of Middlefinger."
MGM bought the script days ago and has already engaged the writers for a two-week polish, indicating the studio plans to move quickly.
