LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Chevy Chase and Burt Reynolds are spoofing the nonstop flood of spoof films in the upcoming indie comedy "Not Another Not Another Movie."

Film

Chase plays a studio head who quits his floundering company, leaving his ex-con sibling (Michael Madsen) in charge. Soon their equally inept gangster friend (Vinnie Jones) takes over and assigns a production assistant (David Leo Schultz) to direct a spoof of spoof movies. Reynolds plays an actor playing the director of the chaotic film within the film.

Writer-director David Murphy's "Movie" features cameos from actors playing themselves spoofing their memorable roles, including Richard Tyson (the villain in "Kindergarten Cop") and Wolfgang Bodison (the young African-American Marine on trial in "A Few Good Men"). "Stuttering" John Melendez, Ellie Gerber, Tim Piper, Jennifer Sciole and James Duval also star.
