Hotter than hot Simon Pegg, star of next year's HOT FUZZ has apparently signed on le dotted line to star in a new movie directed by FRIENDS star David Schwimmer. Said film is entitled RUN, FAT BOY, RUN, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie centers on 'a charming but oblivious overweight guy who leaves his fiancee on their wedding day only to discover years later that he really loves her. To win her back, he must finish a marathon while making her realize that her handsome, wealthy fiance is the wrong guy for her.' The film is Schwimmer's feature directorial debut after cutting his teeth with guest helming spots on the popular FRIENDS series. Michael Ian Black wrote the script.
