Are you protective of your favorite actors? Did your sky seem to cave in a little when you first learned that Dane Cook got to be in a movie with William Hurt, or that Molly Shannon had been cast alongside John C. Reilly? Well, that was just early training.

Hollywood Reporter picks up on the negotiations, and, with production scheduled to begin this month, the hellaciousness is imminent.
