Novak, star and writer of the comedy extravaganza The Office , is in talks to star as PFC Utivich, one of the rogue Jewish-American soldiers out to kill, scalp, and carve up as many Nazis as they can during WWII Germany.
I’m a huge fan of The Office , and I think Novak is hilarious, but as a Nazi killing soldier? I don’t know if I can buy that. I’ve read the script, and… it’s not a comedy. It’s actually a pretty hardcore drama filled with graphic violence. Then again, there’s part of me that can see Novak playing it straight. Hey, at least it’s not Rainn Wilson!
Pitt, Roth, and Novak… who’s gonna be next?
