Jon Heder To Play Skinny Sumo Wrester

20th Century Fox has hired the writers of The Wedding Crashers, Steve Faber and Bob Fisher, to write a comedy about a skinny American who enters a sumo wrestling competition.

The project will star actor Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite).  The story is inspired by an article in GQ magazine about a 134-pound man who was the lightest person to ever compete in sumo wrestling.

Faber and Fisher also wrote the screenplay for We’re the Millers, for New Line Comedy, about a family man who sells marijuana in his retirement.
