Gaffigan to star in Arbuckle biopic

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 27th, 2007

According to the Dark Horizons website, Jim Gaffigan will star in “Life of the Party,” a movie about scandalized silent film star Fatty Arbuckle.

It oughta be interesting to see how the story is told. Will it be loaded with salacious details? Will Arbuckle’s name be vindicated once and for all? Will the outcome be ambiguous?

If Gaffigan turns in any kind of a competent performance, this is the kind of role that could earn him an Oscar nomination. Stay tuned.
